Amazing Sound System
Owner of Movieprofits Richard has two major passions, Bikes and Sound Systems.
He has finished his new sounds room and the speakers are fucking amazing.
His are the first set in the world as they are built by a good friend of his in New Zealand.
The New Zealand company Arvus has unveiled their Prerenaissance loudspeakers, as the culmination of 25 years of speaker development.
The 7′4″ Prerenaissance was designed entirely in New Zealand. As striking as the looks of the speaker are, the technical details are even more so.
Starting from the bottom up, the plinth is made from hand carved granite. Four chambers house a quasi-five-way design.
There are three channels of amplification totaling 1,500-watts per speaker. Each driver was designed just for the Prerenaissance by Arvus.
Arvus claims a room-corrected frequency response of 17Hz ? 43kHz +/- 1dB.
The design was inspired by such objects as a exotic cars, the Coke bottle and musical instruments. The angles were chosen to give the speaker a feeling movement and life.
According to Arvus there are dozens of finishing options, from wood (like you see here), painted, carbon fibre, and even stainless steel.
