Overview :
Truth in Listening:
Utilizing our patented SBESL™ (Self-Biased Electrostatic) technology, Sopranino is a groundbreaking product. As add-on super tweeter Sopranino brings the magic of electrostatic performance to essentially any full-range loudspeaker system, capturing air, texture, focus, and inner detail that you otherwise would not have known were there. Its ability to retrieve ambience and to reproduce music with a true listen-through quality simply must be heard to be believed.Unlike the conventional approach to electrostatic design, which requires the inconvenience of external bias voltage (and connection to an AC wall socket), Sopranino derives its polarizing voltage in a proprietary manner from the signal itself. This results in ease of use, and more easily brings electrostatic technology, long considered the holy grail for its transparency and resolution, to virtually any high-end system.
Sopranino extends high frequency response to over 40kHz and operates via totally passive connection, with selectable 8k, 10k, or 12kHz crossover points, all of which further contributes to its ease of implementation. Sopranino’s diaphragm is an ultra-thin polyester film membrane which operates by static attraction (as opposed to voice coils and magnets), with a fraction of the mass of conventional drivers. Its near nothing moving mass not only contributes to its frequency extension, but also results in lightning quick transient response for realistic reproduction of a drum’s rim shots, the snap of a plucked guitar string, or a piano’s hammering action–with all of the immediacy of being there.
Sopranino’s patented SBESL™ technology also forms the technical cornerstone for the Mythology M1 Hybrid Electrostatic Mini-Monitor and Dharma D1000 Hybrid Electrostatic Headphone. All three of these products are receiving accolades from every corner of the high-end audio community–for cutting edge electrostatic technology and excellent sound quality.
Remarkably, Sopranino appeals just as much to your eyes as your ears

BLACK FRIDAY SALE:
ENIGMAcoustics Sopranino great looking Reference Supper Tweeters by far the best Supper Tweeters we have ever heard; In wooden double boxes:
We encourage "LOCAL clients" to audition them in their systems (we are not offering in home trials to anyone not local).
Currently selling for $3,500 now only $1,695 each pair as new in the beautiful wooden factory box and comes with the outer factory boxes.
Half Pair (one piece) $695.
These came from a Huge Audio Estate, one of Weinhart Design's favorite customers and they were so effective the client "believe it or not" choose to use and purchased seven pairs for his reference Audio & Theater system.
Even thought the sound they make is very hard to hear (mostly above human hearing) the difference they make to your perceived improvements to the smoothness, decay, increased clarity and bigger sound stage is a "clear ear opener".
A Top recommendation by all of us at Weinhart Design and virtually all reviews and virtually everyone who is heard them...
