Detailed impressions to follow in a full blog on KJAMM Mastering when we’re done development tweaks with CIA owner, designer and proud Scot, Derek Alexander Wilson. His new patents and several years of R&D are behind the 40mm modal bending driver. Apparently the original concept came from a German developer in the 70s. Vorsprung durch Scotts Technik one might say 😉 Anyway, it’s crossing over to the 15″ sealed and super-damped woofer at 300Hz with steep linear phase crossovers and phase alignment all in… Read More »Sirkus First to Roadtest Amazing New CIA 15″ Studio Monitors
