High quality stand speaker. The AW-10 Aluminum replaces the popular test winner AW-10 HQi speaker. The redesigned model has undergone small tweaks to make the speaker sound even more balanced.
The case is essentially the same as in the previous model, ie the TransFlex technology developed by Hifitalo is still in use. As a result, the accuracy of the bass range is better than a normal reflex-tuned speaker. TransFlex tuning also puts more strain on the conical motion deviation than standard reflex tuning. The result is greater power endurance as well as better control in the bass range. The effect of the TransFlex housing also extends to the midrange, it dampens the standing waves of the housing and thus the colorations in the midrange are smaller than normal. Due to the partition wall structure, the housing is also stronger than what would be implemented in a standard reflex housing with the same material thickness. Enclosure resonances are thus lower than normal. The biggest changes compared to the old speaker have taken place in the speaker elements themselves. The bass midrange is Seas' new generation aluminum cone L18RNX / P. It differs from the previously used L17REX / P element in terms of body and voice coil. The open voice coil structure of the body enhances the cooling of the voice coil better than before, in which case the distortion values remain smaller and the reproduction is more linear at high powers. The increased stroke length, on the other hand, improves the dynamics of bass reproduction and increases the power endurance. The tweeter is still manufactured by Seas, type 25TAFN / QG. The element has an aluminum cap and the magnet is made of neodymium. The same treble is also used in the AW-10 Excel model. The guide in front of the treble smooths the directional pattern of the treble around the crossover frequency range and makes the crossover filter quite simple. Using the joystick also clearly improves the stereo image as well as the resolution of the treble area. The treble is glued to the guide with instant glue.
The filter is of the first degree type, with an acoustic crossover frequency of about 1,500 Hz. High-quality components have been used in the filter. The crossover filter is delivered as components. The series is delivered at the Intertetechnik terminal. With its sound, the AW-10 Aluminum is similar to its predecessor, but the sound has become more airy and natural. Bass reproduction is more distinctive and structured. Although the differences are not large, the new model as a whole is better than the previous AW-10HQi. The AW-10 Aluminum is ideal for demanding stereo listening as well as multi-channel systems. For multi-channel playback, it is a good idea to use three identical speakers at the front. The treble does not need protection. LCD or Plasma TVs do not respond to magnetic fields, so the center speaker does not need separate magnetic shielding. The AW-10 Aluminum is designed to be listened to from a tripod at a listening distance of approximately three meters. It works well in rooms of 10-30 square meters, the bass head dimension can be increased with a separate subwoofer. Especially in a larger space, a separate subwoofer is recommended.
NOTE! The terminal of the series has changed from the one in the drawings! Check the dimensions!

Note!
If you do not want to make the case yourself, you can order it ready-made. The pattern wood makes speaker cases from MDF or glulam according to the customer's wishes. The selection includes almost all the building kits sold by Hifitalo, and if necessary, you can also submit the speaker drawings yourself. See the link below for more information and prices.
