Philharmonic Audio

Philharmonic Audio is pleased to offer a new and larger version of the highly popular Affordable Accuracy Monitor.  Like its predecessor, the new monitor is a modification of an existing product, in this case the Parts Express BR-1 kit.  That kit contains very high quality drivers and a sturdy and attractive cabinet, and a crossover that is serviceable but not fully optimized.

We have replaced that circuitry with a highly precise 11-element crossover that achieves admirably flat response and excellent phase tracking.  The robust silk dome tweeter is crossed at a very low 1900 Hz, which provides exceptionally broad dispersion and maximizes detail in the lower treble and upper midrange.  The 6.5" long-throw woofer offers very tight and clean bass that extends much deeper than you would expect from a speaker of this size and cost.  Although we have specified the bass response very conservatively at a -3 dB point of 48 Hz, the monitors will in fact produce very audible output at 34 Hz.  You can test that for yourself with a demo CD that we include with every pair of monitors.  The result is a firm bass foundation and very high power handling on music material without the cost and complexity of a subwoofer.  But the most surprising element of the new monitor is its price--only $200/pr plus shipping, which is capped at $30.  That's just $20 more than the stock BR-1 kit, and the Affordable Accuracy Monitor is fully assembled and optimized.  We're confident that you won't find find a more accurate and wide range loudspeaker anywhere near this price.  For ordering information, click here.
