Amphion recently announced the Argon7LS floorstanding loudspeaker. The newcomer replaces the Argon7L model, incorporating the passive radiator design which is already present in Argon3S and Argon3LS. The passive radiator eliminates known problems associated with reflex cabinets, where the correct signal is always followed by an unwanted tail. According to the press release, the new Argon7LS design creates a more natural energy transfer, providing the listener with an improved physical connection to the music, even on lower listening levels.
Just like all Amphion loudspeaker models, Argon7LS uses the company’s signature approach to crossover design. The crossover frequency is placed at 1600 Hz, which is located outside the range where the human hearing show its higher sensitivity, allowing the use of the tweeter in that area, where the hearing is most perceptive. This way the loudspeakers perform as point-sources, solving the problems generally experienced with coaxial or dual concentric designs, where the tweeter is housed in a moving “waveguide” formed by the mid/woofer driver. Argon7LS' specifically designed waveguide creates an even dispersion, allowing the listener to immerse into a room-wide sweet spot the company states.
Argon7LS sells for €2250/$2800 per piece for standard colors and €2400/$3000 for Walnut veneer, available at authorized Amphion dealers everywhere.
