Mcculloch-Engstrom Audio is proud to carry Volent Loudspeakers. The name may not be familiar yet but these speakers are definitely worth getting to know
Volent/LCY are a Hong Kong based company that have been making ribbon tweeters since 2002 and supply such companies as JAS audio with components. In 2006 they decided to make their own speakers. The lineup consists of the Chorale and Paragon styles with a number of offerings within each style.
I have the VL-2 in stock and from the fit and finish to the sound quality everything is top shelf. The speaker uses the companies patented 3.8" twin ribbon to acheive frequency respnse to 60K Hz. With this upper range there is also a huge range of dispersion as well as speed and coherence. Paragon VL-2 is equipped with a Graphite/Titanium sandwich based 7" woofer. This woofer was also used on the Magico Mini. The inner cone is made of Syntactic Polymer Hardfoam, outer layer is Graphite with Titanium ionized and sprayed on its surface. The merits of using both Graphite with its elasticity and Titanium's stiffness are combined to give speed and timing to the bass
With its patented " Air " system, special designed Copper Faraday Ring, the counter-electromotive force is therefore minimized, the result is the bass is fast without loss of detail.
Woodwork is gloss Burl Walnut with gloss black top and bottom. The baffle is covered in black leather. (not sure if it is "Corinthian" or not)
The Chorale style use Morel woofers and 2.5" Twin ribbons
Fit and finish on the entire line is outstanding
