Daniel Hertz-Anton speakers

... or tufted Naugahyde!

I've always wanted to see where the Nauga Farm is (where they raise Nauga's) so that they can get the hyde!
I'd like to see what a Nauga looks like!
And a tufted Nauga must be a really exotic animal!!

As a universal, symbolic and frightening list of diseases, I use the following triad: schizophrenia, flat feet, worms.

I'd add the word 'tape' in front of worms. It just sort of gives it a Vincent Price treatment, I feel.

Imo that is a very impressive spectrograph, ESPECIALLY for a prosound coaxial. Are you comfortable sharing any specifics of the measurement conditions?


A 99 dB efficient driver that has real-world extension to 25 Hz either has a combination of parameters almost never seen together, OR help from EQ, OR a little of both. I'll not ask you to reveal your secret sauce(s).

Informed guess tells the speaker is EQ'd by its dedicated DSP module in the amp, that's why the response is that flat and extending that low. It is basically an active DSP system. A legit approach but their marketing is sketchy.

The pure speaker will not measure like that, rather it will be in good company with other drivers of its kind.

I have no doubt the system will sound exceptional and I'm sold to 12" and 15" coaxials anyway

Let's just say the designs are interesting

What about old ESS AMT-1?)

The DH M1 Delta cabinets are built with mirror finish black plexi, 10 times the cost of wood. May I ask why someone would post a doctored image that has no relevance to what DH makes? This type of sarcasm is not helpful and only breeds cynicism that benefits no one. Btw the M1 Delta has specs and performance beyond any loudspeaker available, bar none. Hearing is believing.

Given all the effort that goes into those cabinets, can you explain why the M1 sub and bass/mid drivers are mounted like it were the first prototype?
No recess, no bezel, nothing. PA drivers are designed for back-mounting and when you front-mount them, one has to take measures to make it look good, aesthetically. At a €400'000 price point you customers have a right for perfect looks, don't they?

Design statement (to be different, trend setting, fashionable, etc). Obviously not for any good audio reason.
In this price range, audio takes a back seat (possibly even a 'rumble seat') to fashion, boldness & Brand Effect.

The Devon Turnbull effect.... which, of course comes straight from Olson, Hilliard, et al.

Having invoked his name (sort of like Beetlejuice): The redoubtable Mr. Turnbull at a European Triode Festival in 2021 (postponed from 2020, if memory serves... for some reason )

What I absolutely love about 2025 is that all that gear in front of Turnbull can be replaced with a WiiM UltraAmp and a phone.

Very little showmanship in that, though.

Very little of anything, in that...

With all due respect to Vincent Price. Any helminths are implied.
I offer my deepest apologies to Daniel, Hertz, Anton, and all lovers of acrylic, plywood, and carpet. I'm posting the old picture below only to conclude the discussion of life[and mind and science etc]-threatening diseases in this thread:

True enough, although the output of those large-ish items on either side of him (his stock in trade; i.e., RCA/WE/Altec/JBL knockoffs) would be difficult to simulate (qualitatively and quantitatively) with an iPhone, I reckon.

Well, for the advertised price around 40k - I'd go Tannoy, and get some more goodies on the side. Tried and true. And it is yet another Mark Levinson venture I can do without.

Indeed. And get better looking cabinets with time-tested and proven engineering behind them. ML has been a high-end shill for years, i.e., since he started rebranding AR LST speakers (Cello) and cheap Chinese integrateds (Red Rose Music).
