Countless hours of measuring and Critical listening have gone into making the finest loudspeaker available. An impedance curve and electrical phase character like an electrostatic speaker, the final blend of art and technology have made The Princess V an uncompromising work of art.



Enclosure
The multifaceted enclosure is handcrafted in our own facilities by Danish artisans in a 1” HDF sandwich material covered by 1” solid wood.
The design was made to optimise the off-axis response and to avoid diffraction. In order to minimize acoustical waves, there are no parallel front, back, top or bottom panels. The slant of the front panel corrects the phase and timing between tweeter and woofer.


Transducers
The Scan-Speak tweeter is a non-Ferro fluid 1” hand coated silk dome with a SD-2 motor, low compression design, and non-resonant chamber. The tweeter performs effortlessly in sonic behaviours.

The 5” Audiotechnology midrange is hand built and specially designed for optimal effect in this enclosure. The driver features a cone that has been uniquely shaped for this moving system and a vented magnet system that includes Symmetric Drive to optimise the linear directivity.


Networks
The speaker includes an acoustical second order crossover. Every component has been chosen for its sonic and musical behaviour, with no consideration for cost. The crossover is hardwired with silver solder. The internal wire is an especially elliptical tube silver wire from Stereovox.


The name?
The Princess V boasts an extremely linear frequency response, on-axis as well as of-axis. This makes it a very accurate loudspeaker in a “Real World” environment, becoming “InCognito” in almost every room. The Princess V has a performance like a real Princess V.



The RRP in the UK is £9500 we are selling these with full warranty at £6500

Nice one, John. I've heard the Princesses before, and they are *very* special speakers. Musically, they are worth every penny! Furthermore, the quality of construction is second to none...

Would you remind potential buyers of just how much these (seemingly innocuous) 'slim floorstanders' weigh? ;)

Marco.

Not to denigrate these fabulous speakers in any way, shape or form but looking at the baffles of the Princess V I see striking similarities to the baffle on a Mission 773. I am presuming Mission developed their baffle design to achieve the same goal which demonstrates just how ahead of the curve they were. Of course in every other respect there is a vast gulf between the two designs ;)
