Sono Vera B300

[EXIF68]

Hello Folks,

Does anyone know this speaker:

B300 Loudspeaker – Sono Vera

sono-vera.com

There are also some measurements on this site and so far as i can interpret them, this could be a marvelous speaker system.

Here is a review of this speaker:

Greetings,

I'll take the Sourcepoint 888 any day over those if I wanted a semi-retro style speaker with a lot of SPL capability and bass.

Though isobaric 10" is interesting, though I'm worried about the beaming of the wideband mid/tweeter.

Six minutes in and already talking BS about isobaric bass.

Frequency response looks nice and flat with off-axis controlled well, but unsurprisingly the 3” wide band beams quite considerably so the speaker likely will sound a bit dull “in-room”.

Quite expensive but look well made. Aesthetically they’re not doing it for me.

Yep. A 10" woofer and a 3" cone do not look promising. The KH310 uses a 3" dome (!) just for the midrange (below 3 kHz). I would expect this 3" cone to beam like hell.

For this amount of money one can get much better speakers.

EDIT: Yep, the midrange beams a lot - just seen the frequency response:

it does, albeit cleanly if this graph isn’t overly smoothed.

Soooo many choices, right.

I'm sure it's smoothed. It also stops at 200 Hz - I wonder why.

Gating, I'm sure

I have a theory.

I think they have been designed by someone whose names rhymes with Fanny Itchy.
