Lange @ Purité Audio?

[Purité Audio]

I have to thank @pierre for introducing me to Lange loudspeakers.
Their background is in live sound, horns, compression drivers, line arrays but they have produced a small range of domestic designs which look exquisite.
This is their ‘Yocto’ all are designed to be used with a subwoofer and the entire range is now active.
Yocto as you are probably all aware is one septillionth of a unit in the SI metric system.

I have ordered a pair of ‘Yocto‘s’, I will use my new Boxem amplifier, create the high and low pass in Roon although the KEF and Sigberg subs have provision for crossover filters.
They look really interesting, I used to like those Eclipse single driver speakers, does anyone remember those?

These look very nice, how much do they go for?

In Germany they go for 8900 Euro a pair. For a single 65 mm broadband speaker each side. The recommended subwoofer is another 7900 Euro a piece and you better buy two of them for well known reasons. Ridiculous. But at least they provide measurements on the site of the manufacturer.

 

[Chester]

Blimey!

They better sound out of this world!

 

[Purité Audio]

That price must be including the Tera subwoofer , the Yoctos are approx £3k a pair inc.

No, it is 8900 for a pair without the needed subwoofer:

I can assure you that is not correct, from, Hans Andrea Lange,
’The list price of a YOCTO is 1'975.- CHF, ‘
From as it were the horses mouth.

I want to believe you but the price I posted is from the website of the official German distributor axmann audio, who is listed and linked by Lange Audio. Not to mention the fact, that Lange offers to sell directly to customers with a better price?

Alors there are these passive Yoctos, and as if by magic there are now these active Yoctos! Probably going to get into trouble as they haven’t been officially released but you only live once.

I swear speaker design is going backwards at this point

The Yoctos are not an attempt at a retrogressive design, my thinking is that they might be an alternative for smaller rooms and even near field applications.
There used to be a Japanese manufacturer ‘ Eclipse’ who made a similar single driver speaker, over the region of the Far that they could reproduce sound quality was excellent.
I am hoping that with contemporary steep high pass filters and subwoofer integration the Yocto will be quite special.
Anyhoo unless one tries one never knows, Lange also manufacture some more traditional designs, based on their experience with live sound.
Lange are ‘activating’ their entire range, they just announced the active version of their Atto.

According to the Lange Website spec for the DECA it offers:

• Tree-Way 33,5 Hz to 28 kHz frequency range

Does that mean you use them outside? Proof reading is a lost art. lol

Is the horn in the Deca using what Lange calls the “point array”? Pic attached. Looks to be a similar concept to Danley MEH?

 

[Purité Audio]

Honestly don’t know, but their live sound work included horn loaded designs , and they also make the ‘dodecahedron’ speaker which I believe really correct way to measure a room response.
I just thought they were doing something interesting.

Hello Grotti, Regarding the DECA, it's important to note that it's designed for home entertainment and not for outdoor use. The loudspeaker enclosure features an 8" long excursion woofer in a band-pass configuration, which allows it to reach 33.5 Hz at -3dB. However, the sensitivity of the loudspeaker is comparable to other loudspeakers with an 8" driver intended for home entertainment purposes, probably a better cone excursion control is offered by the band-pass configuration, perhaps the impulse isn't neat as a sealed cabinet...

@amper42 was making a joke about "Tree-way". He was not seriously asking about use in the woods.
