    Cathedral Sound LR45

    I first experienced "Cathedral Sound" loudspeakers a few months ago and I only have one problem with them. These 45" tall loudspeakers are so perfect for drawing you in to the music or movie that it makes listening to other more typical speaker designs seem less enjoyable.
    The Cathedral Sound LR45 loudspeaker, this coupler transmission line enclosure is a whole new concept in speaker enclosures. I believe there are no speakers under $7,000 that can even come close in audio performance at all. In order to get good sound from some of these higher priced speakers you have to use a more expensive higher power amplifier, and you may have to place a very impractical 250 - 1,000 lbs of speakers in the middle of the room. Listening to music is a whole new experience because of the fullness and expanded sweet spot with no percieved phase distortion.
    The Cathedral Sound loudspeakers use a new type of shallow slope cross over network and its unique coupler transmission line design to create the sought after transparent "three dimensional soundstage". With more and more high end designers going for higher order (1st as opposed to 4th) crossover networks, Cathedral Sound loudspeakers 3.5dB/octave shallow slope design (0 order?) gives Nucore Electromagnetics a unfair advantage in loudspeaker design. Thie shallow slope crossover slope is achieved through a entirely new type highly efficient inductor technology.
    Cathedral Sound loudspeakers are without a doubt the the most efficient speaker design ever made for a home cinema system or "high end home stereo". Durring the demonstration at the Northwest Audiophiles Society Real Worl Acoustics (RWA) Brad Judah and Andy Bartha demonstated the efficiency with a multimeter to a completely amazed group of over 30 people.
    I look forward to reading other peoples reviews on these "coupler transmission line loudspeakers".

    Cathedral Sound, Huh?

    OK, and exactly how does this group market their speakers? Through dealers, direct from the manufacturer sales, direct marketing, multi-level? Please enlighten us.

    Also, what were the results with the "mulitmeter" that you say that they used to measure the efficiency of the speakers? I use a dB meter to measure the sensitivity of my speakers. Can you be more specific?.

    Did you compare Cathedral Sound loudspeakers to B&W speakers?

    Where did you buy Cathedral Sound loudspeakers?

    This is without a doubt the lamest advertising strategy i have seen in years on this site, and the Lord knows i have seen em all. If you compare it to B&W, we already know it cant sound anywhere near good. How about sending me a pair for review and i will compare against some Top Dogs?

    Please indicate specific reason you do not like B&W speakers.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    First off we have the coloration from the box and the unnatruel dispersion characteristic. Secondly we have the problem of the reproduction of a Piano which stretches over 3 DIFFERENT drivers, with 3 DIFFERENT ecloseres and 3 DIFFERENT sonic signatures and 3 DIFFERENT dispersion characteristics. Which guarantrees a NON-Realistic reproduction of a given instrument. Let alone anykind of reproduction.
