Item Description

Flagship line of all AudioSolutions products. It naturally evolved from Vantage Classic speakers. The difference takes place not only in outer looks with completely fresh lines and outlines, but also manufacturing materials, technique and overall evolution in designing such complicated loudspeakers as a system of many components working in perfect harmony.

Designed to be much more rigid construction compared to all previous models AudioSolutions had produced. SBP plywood is used (Siberian Birch Plywood) for internal labyrinth structure as well as for sidewalls and curved top. Siberian Birch grows slower than simple birch, thus making it much denser and tighter. Whole structure is modelled with best software available for resonance free surfaces. Actually properties of our cabinet from SBP plywood results in structure which properties are better than aluminum. Due to many bent surfaces, plywood has left some internal stress which damps any resonances with ease. This technique of leaving some stress in materials was used by AudioSolutions from the very beginning. Step by step this technique was developed to what we manufacture today – 18 layers sandwich of thin rectangular orientated wood sheets along with some HDF in critical layers glued together with three types of glue differing in hardness when cured.

Features

Vantage S (small) is smallest floorstander from whole collection. Speaker front edge reaches only 104cm height giving impression of really small speaker which later increases upwards and reaches 121cm height at back edge. Despite being really small and looking even smaller they do give some serious punch. We managed to push them to 112 dBC level at listening point 3m away from speakers in 55sq m room. And this was not achieved with technical sine wave but with music having some punchy tunes. Have to admit, speaker looking like most of middle sized floorstanders Vantage S not only plays music extremely natural but also plays it full scale and with full dynamic range.

Designed around fresh 5” wideband midrange driver and supported by customized beryllium tweeter. Accompanied by down firing aluminum cone 8” subwoofer and two front firing 5.5” paper woofers. The company of five drivers per speaker makes Vantage Anniversary small but mighty.

As a standard in AudioSolutions products mini horn is introduced here to enhance tweeter performance by lowering distortions and raising efficiency in critical region.

Cabinet decorated with highly durable top coat made from crushed stone and polyurethane lacquer gives speaker durability and effect of matte surface with glittering particles. Very unique and stylish accent which give looks of broken stone piece.

Never used before top-grade 3D vinyl is used to decorate back and cut-out of sidewall. Much concern was said about durability of such material during design phase. But damage tests proved that this material is actually tougher than any veneer, leather, even paints. We feel very confident about our decision to use such materials in our products. New vinyl textures gives customer completely new view to speaker and for us – designers it opens new horizons to work with.
