Linn Ninka with Hiquphon OW2 Tweeter - Exakt Filters

 

For some time, Hiquphon's rather fine OW2-92 tweeter has been favoured as an upgrade or replacement unit for those speakers for which the original tweeters are no longer available. Speaker such as Katan, Ninka and Keilidh have often been equipped with OW2-92.

Whilst these drivers are a good match in a passive system with its large phase errors and crossover approximations, in an Exakt system, a more precise match is required.

Therefore SpeakerFilters is very pleased to announce the latest in a range of Exakt filters designed specifically for the OW2-92 tweeter in classic speakers - the evergreen Ninka floorstander.

Customer S, Australia. 

"With them (OW2 in Linn Ninka) in place and your filters running they are like new speakers, the timbre of instruments and the human voice is much richer, and decay, detail and soundstage improved."

These filters are available now for £195 a pair.

Get in touch!  design@speakerfilters.com

Every SpeakerFilters set of filters comes with a no cost 2 week trial period.

Mission 783 Aerogel Floorstanders 1999 to 2004 Exakt Filters

SpeakerFilters are pleased to announce a new addition to the range of available filters.

Coming from Cambridge company Mission, the 783 floorstander is a sophisticated 3-way design. Internally the walls of the extremely heavy cabinet feature complex machining to break up standing waves and a side firing bass driver (which rolls of at a low 110Hz) brings the benefit of a larger driver to a slim cabinet.

We're very pleased to add this speaker to the SpeakerFilters portfolio.  Bringing the opportunity to apply Linn Exakt advantages to those who want to get the best out of their Mission 783 speakers.  The filters are available to 783 users "off the shelf" right now.

Linn Keltik with Hiquphon OW1 Tweeter Exakt Filters

SpeakerFilters are pleased to announce a new addition to the range of available Exakt filters.

The Linn Keltik was the company's top of the range speaker in the 1990s and early 2000s - specifically designed to run active and a very capable flagship speaker. Occasionally drivers fail or are damaged  - with Linn unable to supply the 015 nor 038 speakers any longer, many users have fitted the Hiquphon OW1 tweeter as a replacement. This means that the Exakt filters from Linn are no longer suitable with this modification.

So we're very pleased to add this popular modification of the Keltik to the SpeakerFilters portfolio.  Bringing the opportunity to apply Linn Exakt advantages more accurately for those who have replaced their tweeters.

These filters are available now at £125 a pair.

Naim SL2 Exakt Filters

SpeakerFilters are pleased to announce a new addition to the range of available filters.

A legendary loudspeaker from Salisbury company Naim, the SL2 has a number of interesting design features, including separate but inter-linked boxes for each driver, a part sloped, part curved baffle, internal porting and an external passive crossover. This external crossover means that there are no physical changes required to use the SL2 in a Linn Exakt active system, making this a straightforward option.

So we're very pleased to add this rather special classic speaker to the SpeakerFilters portfolio.  Bringing the opportunity to apply Linn Exakt advantages to those who want to get the best out of their Naim speakers.  The filters were developed using a Linn Exakt front end and classic Naim NAP250 power amplifiers - a great balance of the best from both companies.  They're available to SL2 users "off the shelf" right now in three flavours which are provided to every customer:

- Standard based on the original SNAXO crossover
- With an additional 0.8dB attenuation for the tweeter
- With an additional 0.8dB attenuation for the tweeter and a 2dB bass lift below 100Hz

Feedback from SpeakerFilters customer CG of Birmingham:

"So how do they sound now? Well I wasn't ready for or, expecting the magnitude of the improvement. All the strengths of musicality & PRaT are there in spades but now hi-hats really shimmered, recording venue acoustics were tangible, bass lines are so solid, the space around instruments & performers improved, the decay on notes seemed to hang in the air. Boundary speakers are not renowned for their imaging but this has tightened up so that you can place individual performers, or even where the cymbals in the drum kit, are. The mid range has a much smoother integration. The slight mid/high frequency brightness had been tamed & the somewhat bass light presentation was gone leaving me wondering if I would still need my sub. (I have still got it in the system but I've dialled it down about 30%).
The end result is so impressive, I've done no work today, I've been sat here listening to track after track. A big thank you to SpeakerFilters - another awesome job."

Feedback from sound technician S from Birmingham:

"I’m highly impressed, it’s not that often that a system makes a significant positive impression on me, but that was lovely. As a sound technician, I’m often drawn to, and fixated on flaws, but there were none of note!"

Now this standmount can be aftermarket modified to work extremely well with Linn's Exakt system using filters from SpeakerFilters. The modifications required are straightforward and can be provided by SpeakerFilters or Manchester Audio dealer brianandtrevors, who also have the speakers available for demo in their comfortable listening rooms.

We're very pleased to add this exceptional speaker to the SpeakerFilters portfolio.


For those of you without Exakt, but with a Linn DS or DSM streamer, the work completed by SpeakerFilters allows you to enjoy the benefits of SPACE Optimisation with the LS5/9 in its original passive form.
 

Feedback from House of Linn:

"After converting the LS5/9 to Exakt they sound great, plenty of the Linn Exakt precision whilst retaining some of that BBC voicing.  If you love your existing speakers but would like to get more out of them SpeakerFilters is indeed an interesting proposition"
