What is it about the design of Beauhorn products that make them sound so much more musical than other products I have tried?
Our aim is to produce music which sounds as natural as possible. We are not looking for excitement or to ‘move a lot of air’. We want to hear the music sound just as it did when the recording was made. We want the dynamics to sound real, not ‘impressive’. In the context of audio reproduction, simplicity is not merely a virtue, it brings very substantial benefits. We believe that less equals more; in the sense that the less you do to the signal as it passes through your system, the more closely it represents the original sound. For example, a shift in the signal phase degrades the stereo image (our brains use subtle phase differences to tell us where a sound is coming coming from – it’s not just a matter of loudness). Since electronic crossovers in multiway speakers introduce just such phase shifts, they are to be avoided. That’s one good reason why our speakers use a single driver each and why the imaging is so good. A second reason is that to have midrange and treble sounds emanating
