Loudspeakers... when the ordinary is simply not good enough

Is there a perfect loudspeaker; a loudspeaker that can truly reproduce music as it was originally performed?
Until now many compromises had to be accepted, preventing the perfect loudspeaker from being built. Perfection would require a stiff, dense, resonance free cabinet, without parallel structures, sharp edges or symmetry. Such characteristics would minimise diffraction and coloration, resulting in an unparalleled transparent and spatial sound.

Wood-based panel construction simply cannot achieve all these vital characteristics due to the limitations of the material itself, consequently they often suffer from panel-related diffraction and coloration, leading to impaired stereo image, a loss of focus and deficiencies in perspective and sound stage depth.

Whilst electro-magnetic modelling continuously advanced drive unit design, cabinet manufacturing stood still. Loudspeaker manufacturing plants looked like furniture builders. Attempts have been made to overcome these shortfalls, but mainly in exploring different methods of drive unit design instead of tackling the problem at its source - to make a perfect speaker cabinet worth putting the best drive units in.

TAG McLaren is renowned for its technological achievements at the forefront of technology. TAG McLaren's Formula One materials specialists have expertise in the use of exotic materials which is second to none. The resulting technologies, 'Composite Sandwich Technology' and its more cost-effective derivative ‘Aluminium Technology' allow very stiff, dense and resonance free cabinets. Combining these perfect cabinets with the best drive units available, made the perfect loudspeaker become a reality.
