| Waterfall new glass speakers Victoria EVO & Iguascu EVO |
| Filed under: Speaker |
The french specialist of glass loudspeakers comes back with 2 new models, the Victoria EVO and the Iguascu EVO. These speakers are said to have increased power handling, reduced distortion and low frequency extension. This is, in part, due to the new drivers provided by Atohm, which has supplied a new generation of aluminium drivers with the ADT technology (Acoustic Damping Tube). Both EVO models use the LD150 medium (2x for Victoria EVO) and the SD20 tweeter. However, the secret of the bass improvement is the downward-firing passive radiator: a new 210mm unit (UFR 210) hidden into the plinth of the speaker. Both models are available now and the price has been set at 2200€ for the Iguascu EVO and 2980€ for the Victoria EVO model.
