Audio Emotion are delighted to offer our customer's a very special loudspeaker indeed.
Like HiFi Pig we absolutely love the focus and transparency, the bass extension, the low distortion, the amazing LEV isolation support (Levitation and Elimination of Vibrations) and the stunning 3D soundstage.
High-end, mid-sized floor-standing speakers featuring an 8" bass driver for deep lows and three dimensional mids, and a beryllium tweeter for sweet and clear highs.
Hand crafted with solid birch cases, French walnut fronts, and supported by a floating damped base. These speakers offer a superior sound and a timeless design.
Saltwood Sounds is based in Pamplona (Spain) and Cambridge, founded by three friends with respective backgrounds in science, yacht-building and technology - and with a shared quest for a natural high fidelity.
The Finisterre a mid-size floor standing ported two-way passive speaker. The aim of this product was to build a floor-standing speaker that aesthetically harmonises with the considered home.
The Finisterres also have a Submariner-effect - appealing aesthetically to both men and women, with a particular hope to engage more women into high-end audio!
The Finisterre's are designed with both audio quality and aesthetics as the highest parameters.
Natural curves and solid woods define the aesthetics of Saltwood Sounds, and, acoustically, the clarity and power is achieved by 8 Purifi drivers which have an extended linear stroke range to enthral any audience.
Inherent to this design, The Finisterre's have a moderate sensitivity, but can generate bass response down to very low frequency levels. The speakers thus require ample driving by suitably powerful amplifiers.
The woofer is matched by a 1 inch SB Acoustics Sartori beryllium tweeter which excels detail and eschews ringing.
The cabinets are made from highest-grade Baltic Birch, and matched solid French walnut front baffles, which can also be customised with other woods.
