Designed to
suit the smaller room where space is at a premium the LS2 needs no excuses made
for its modest proportions. Presenting music in a bold and explicit way, the
LS2's natural balance and ease of drive will compliment any system.
Cone
materials
The type of
material used to form the cone of a loudspeaker has a marked effect on the
overall sound and consistency of the loudspeaker. Over the years,a variety of
materials has been used.
The original
material was paper, which was pulped, compressed, and formed. This offered only
the minimum of control over the resultant sound quality, especially in the
critical midrange area, and effort was made to find an alternative.
In the
mid-sixties, partially as a result of development work at Kingswood Warren,
Bextrems - a kind of polystyrene - started to be used. …Bextrene with a damping
compound to remove colourations in the region of 1,5 to 2 kHz. …polypropylene -
developed considerably during the 1970s, again with pioneering work at research
department, Polypropylene offered similar improvements over paper as did
bextrene. … as the material was
inherently self-damping. Because of its lower density, polypropylene yields
greater efficiency than Bextrene and hence greater sound levels are possible
for the same power input.
