SURPLUS ITEMS

Ribbon Loudspeakers by Newform Research.

Newform Research spends a great deal of time and effort developing new models and processes for both Ribbon and midbass cabinet improvements. In short, we make a lot of prototypes.

We also have taken on an increasing level of custom work and since our speakers are short run, with a great many hand processes, a considerable number of cosmetic seconds result. And they have built up.

So we are offering our surplus stock at exceptional savings. If one of these items suits your room and system, you will be in for a tremendous musical value.

As always, whether A-1 stock, cosmetic second or raw prototype, the same expert advise is always available.

Here are a few term descriptions for clarification.

Cosmetic second (blem): A regular production speaker with some form of cosmetic defect - usually minor. New and acoustically A-1 with full 5 year warranty.

Demo: A regular production speaker that has been off our premises for any reason. To a customer, to a reviewer, to a show. Full 5 year warranty.

Prototype: A very wide range of speakers from well finished pre-production to very rough initial prototypes and badly blemed regular production. Performance specs may or may not approximate production units. A digital crossover will yield fabulous musical results with any of these systems. Ask about warranty.

Hypex AS2.100 amps are dual 100w/channel digital plate amps from Hypex in the Netherlands (hypex.nl) and have digital crossovers. They have flexible computer based crossover software for easy xover modification and download. One amp goes in each speaker so both Ribbons and midbasses are fed by their own 100w amp. Tact level performance on a budget. Hypex amps add $1150/pair but discounts also apply to them.

The prices below are PLUS SHIPPING so please ask for a quote.

All sales are final but the 1 year 100% trade-in policy still applies.
