We have bought a closeout on the Acoustic Technologies Classic speaker. This $2450.00 a pair of speakers was a 2-year design project. The company designer finished the speaker & the passed away suddenly. We have bought the inventory from the family.
 
The Classic speakers are optimized in both the frequency and time domains. Using a single wide band driver properly sized to allow for all sufficient musical cues, he introduced a new technology to coherently present lower frequency information produced by the driver. This new technology uses a proprietary cabinet design to acoustically amplify the lower frequencies produced by the driver much in the manner that musical instruments do. They use solid silver internal wiring with Cardas CCGGL gold plated binding posts.

We have replacement drivers and the speaker come with a 2 year driver warranty

These speakers are great with small power tube amps like out VT-70 as well as 300B amps and other smaller high quality tube & solid state amplifiers.


 Realistic 3D sound staging / No “sweet spot” / Small profile /Low power consumption


My first customer wrote:
"I have had a chance to listen to the Acoustic Technologies Classic Speakers. I am using them with a Sugden A21 Integrated amplifier (25W Class A). They are fabulous speakers. Clearly if you want to feel the music more than hear the music then these are not be right speakers for you. However, for those that want to hear music, Even more so, hear into the music. Then, these speakers are for you. They have an absolutely wonderful midrange. I think better than my LS3/5a’s that are known for midrange.  So Classical, Jazz, Bluegrass, and Vocals are all just awesome through these speakers. They really need either a tube amp or a class A solid state to sound best.  Clearly they are worth the list asking price and at Underwood’s price I can’t understand why you still have any left. Once again Underwood has come through for me with another wonderful product at a great price. 

And I am still breaking them in and don’t have 100 hours on them yet. So things should only get better!"

John Atkinson - stereophile.com (RMAF 2009 Show Report)

    "When I walked into the room of Chicago-based Acoustic Technologies LLC, I thought I was listening to speakers that only had tweeters, because the only visible drive-unity was a single 3" unit. Yet the sound, a recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Schererazade, was definitely full-range, and the soundstaging, as you might expect from such a small radiating diameter and a narrow cabinet baffle, was well-delineated. 

    The 3" unit, which has a titanium cone, was being used in the Acoustic Technologies Classic-Series loudspeaker to cover the entire audio band. Yes, the speaker was running out of headroom at climaxes with a lot of bass energy—maximum amplifier power is specified as 30Wpc—but there was a refreshing transparency to the overall presentation. System was an Ayon CD2 CD player, Pass Labs X-1 preamp, and a PS Audio power amp."


Rick Becker - enjoythemusic.com (CES & THE Show 2009 Report)

    "The room was empty except for the music.  As sometimes happens, this off-the-beaten-path adventure turned up a real gem.  The music emanated from a pair of single driver floorstanders about 6-inches wide and 43-inches tall.  The driver itself was only 3 inch in diameter, but it was obvious it was very special. [...] A special cabinet design amplifies the bass and recreates sound like a musical instrument.  The breakthrough here was the ability of these loudspeakers to create 3-dimensional sound throughout the room without having to sit in a "sweet spot." [...] This Real World loudspeaker really excites me; I get goose bumps just listening to my video notes."

Gary Lea - Constantine Soo's Dagogo - A Unique Audiophile Experience (RMAF 2009 Show Report)


    "The Acoustic Technologies room was quite entertaining. This speaker is a very narrow floor-standing with a single, 3" driver. I first heard this speaker at the AKFEST in May and was mightily impressed not only with the amount of sound and frequency range that was attainable from a single 3” driver, but the musicality and the sound staging. The Acoustic Technologies makes a pretty convincing argument for single-driver speakers. They also do a pretty interesting demonstration to show that the speaker delivers a full sound without a particular sweet spot. Attractively priced [...], this elegant looking floor standing column would fit in with any décor."

Laurence Borden - The Stereo Times - The Complete Audiophile Magazine (RMAF 2009 Show Report)


    "As at CES, In enjoyed the Acoustic Technologies speaker.  This is a small footprint single-driver floor stander.  [...] [D]riven by a Pass F3 amp, the speaker has remarkable dispersion, such that it sounds good irrespective of where one is standing or sitting in the room.  In my opinion, this speaker represents a fantastic product for those intrigued by single-driver speakers, those with a limited budget, or those interested in a "life style" speaker that offers the antithesis of the "head in a vice" sweet spot of many modern speakers."
