Audio First @ Purité Audio!

[Purité Audio]

This afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Harry Yeung from First Audio, firstly what a really nice guy, he kindly bought the prototype of his new three way design the Cadentia, wow they are spectacular.
Harry has posted photos of the prototypes on his Klippel and some measurements which are as you would expect superb.
They sounded simply wonderful, and he was kind enough to leave a pair of his Fidelia for me to try, just connected them up and I can see why they are amongst Erin’s favourite loudspeakers.

The Fidelia are super cute, shorter than the AsciLAB F6B 12’compared to 16” and about the same depth.

Wow, you are awash in some great speakers. If I ever get across the pond I'll have to come see you after paying devotions at Abbey Road.

Before you ask they are both super designs and a prospective purchaser would have to determine their own preference.

Hello Keith, it was lovely meeting you yesterday. What a good chat. If there were more time, I would love to listen to the Ascilab designs as well. Next time then! when the production version of Cadentia is ready

Harry it was my pleasure, I want no, I need the first pair of Cadentia!
Seriously I am really impressed the small ones are great and the three ways phenomenal.
As we discussed if more listeners understood loudspeaker measurements they could then choose transparent designs.
Rather than the poor yet heavily marketed units which dominate the market at the moment.
I wish you every success.
Keith
