Loudspeakers Introduction

Imagine entering your listening environment and being transported through a portal to a transcendental experience. You feel a whole new level of involvement and connection with the music… not the usual reproduced music you’re used to, but experiencing the intent and emotion of the artist, time and again. You go away and get lost in the music… rather than the gear.

After years of designing and working with many speaker designs from a great number of manufacturers, we have developed our own line of speakers. Experience has shown that high efficiency speaker systems are capable of the very best, most life-like and natural sound. We’ve spent decades developing the best cabinet design features and have combined them with what we believe to be the best high efficiency drivers available. In addition, all of the drivers we use are built like the classics - paper cones, folded cloth surrounds and massive magnet structure ensure that these speakers will sound as good 40 or 50 years from now as they do today!

On the subject of our cabinetry, our chief cabinet artisan, David Florio has brought an immense wealth of experience and skill to Exemplar.  David brings more than 40 years of experience to our designs.

The result is a line of speakers unlike anything you’ve heard before. Combined with our electronics and cables, we can provide complete systems guaranteed to outperform those that cost many times more.

Model XL- IV

After decades of working with many speakers designs from a great number of manufacturers, Exemplar Audio has developed our own flagship speaker system – the XL-IV. Our experience has shown that high efficiency speaker systems are capable of the very best, most natural reproduction possible. As a result we have gone back to our roots using the latest generation of the legendary Altec 604 drivers.  We’ve been working with Altec drivers and speakers systems for over 35 years and the XL-IVs provide the best sound we’ve experienced.

The 604’s we use are constructed in similar fashion to previous generations of Altec drivers, with massive magnetic structures and paper cones with folded cloth surrounds. Unlike many of the current drivers used today with rubber or foam surrounds, these drivers will sound the same 40 or 50 years from now as they do new.

Using our own proprietary technologies, we have been able to move the performance of the legendary 604 into a much higher realm. Specialized cabinetry techniques, including massive 1.5 inch cabinet walls, internal bracing, and extreme care and supervision of the “lay-up” process are but a few of the areas where our attention to detail has truly paid off.
