Custom Painted to mimic Eddie Van Halen’s signature “FRANKENSTRAT” guitar design. Paint job is top notch with a clear coat that has protected them for years. These speakers are super solid, made from high quality Oak wood, very heavy weight (8 lbs ea) for their size. They sound much much better than you would expect from 11″ x 7″ bookshelf speakers. Cambridge Soundworks knows what their doing in the world of speaker design. Henry Kloss (Founder of Cambridge Soundworks) has been a speaker man all his life, being involved in Acoustic Research in its formative years, leaving that company to found KLH, then becoming the force behind Advent. The Ambiance is a more conventional mini-monitor and a much. Larger-scale version of their popular Ensemble satellite. Ambiance features a 4.5 radiating diameter pulp cone woofer. Bass alignment is sealed-box or “acoustic suspension, ” while the tweeter is a ferrofluid-cooled unit with a plastic phase plate over the dome. A METAL GRILLE protects the drive-units, which are mounted on a slightly recessed baffle, while electrical connection is via gold-plated five-way binding posts on the rear. A “keyhole” is included on the rear panel to allow the speaker to be wall-mounted, and a rear brass bush is also fitted so that the Ambiance can be bolted to an optional stand. Two-way, stand-, wall-, or bookshelf-mounted sealed-box loudspeaker. Drive-units: 1″ dome tweeter, 4.5″ long-throw, pulp-cone woofer with butyl surround (6.5 specified in literature due to inclusion of mounting plate in this measurement). Crossover frequency: 1.8kHz. Crossover slopes: second-order high- and low-pass. Frequency response: 50hz to 20hz + 3. Nominal impedance: 8 ohms. 10.88″ H by 7.1″ W by 5.5 D. Weight: 8 lbs each. Solid Oak with metal grille. 1990; discontinued in 2008. Cambridge SoundWorks, a division of Creative Technology, 120 Water Street, North Andover, MA 01845. Van Halen on vinyl, cd, cassette, 8 track, and records include Women and Children First, OU812, Diver Down, 1984, Between Both Worlds, III, II, 5150, Fair Warning, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Balance, Different Kind of Truth, Right Here Right Now.
