Here is a bit of what Dr Rod Crawford has to say about these new Kantu Bes
'Although the outer cabinet shape has remained the same, with its elegant proportions hard to better, further refinement has been produced by improved internal cabinet bracing, internal profiling and constrained-layer damping. They continue to be a 3.5 way system with a dedicated midrange unit.
Most importantly improved drivers have become available as materials technology has progressed, leading to improved cone break-up and lower distortion of their sound output. At the heart of the new Kantus is the superb 100mm midrange unit made from high strength aluminium alloy coated on each side with very hard ceramic so that it remains pistonic well above its crossover point. This results in extraordinarily low distortion through the critical midband region allowing these vital frequencies to come through crystal clear and without the hardness or muddle of many loudspeakers in this region.
Another feature is its excellent tweeter made of beryllium (Be) metal, one of the lightest and strongest materials but also very expensive – half a tonne of it is used in the recently launched Webb telescope because of its lightness and strength but its total cost was over $10 bn! The clarity of the tweeter means that fine details of the performers’ art are revealed but because the ultimate breakup frequency is above 40 kHz there is also a natural ease about its sound.
The Kantus continue to use a low-distortion bass unit made from very strong aluminium alloy with radial ribs to increase its strength even further to ensure ‘break-up’ occurs well outside the frequency range over which the driver is used. Together with excellent motor and suspension systems, the ensuing low distortion allows the listener to hear tonal structure in bass notes, again resulting in greater realism of the reproduced music – and not just some homogenised version.
The revealing clarity of these drivers is maintained by their high-quality crossover filter components. With the Kantu Be we have used very high quality (and expensive) polypropylene capacitors in series with the very high quality (and expensive) Be tweeter plus high quality polypropylene capacitors in the midrange and bass Xover filters.'
