Hand-carved Speakers From Hawaii Making Waves

Parmenter Sound has takes on connoisseur loudspeaker brand JWM Acoustics in NZ.

 

High-end Auckland hi-fi importers Parmenter Sound has picked up the acclaimed JWM Acoustics loudspeaker brand for exclusive NZ distribution.

The Oahu, Hawaii-based company has recently been feted for its latest creation, the Alyson AML, with its custom/hand-built drivers, speaker cabinets featuring exotic wood species, and of course, sound that is supposedly sublime.

The Alyson AML doubles as a speaker for use by sound engineers and discerning music lovers. In fact, it started out as a monitor, but has been redesigned to make it more visually appealing to home listeners as well.

Designer Joshua Miles has 30 yearsโ€™ experience creating loudspeakers for bands, home audio and pro use, and the Alyson is seen as something of a culmination of that journey. Itโ€™s a two-way design with a modified 1-inch Scanspeak tweeter and two 7.5-inch Scanspeak midrange/bass drivers, which are carefully hand-tuned to suit the cabinet.

The tweeter is set close to the inner edge to create an improved soundstage. The speakers are being commended for their transient response, which produces a life-like and compelling listening experience. One reviewer wrote that the Alyson AML โ€œis certainly the most musically satisfying speaker system I have ever heard.โ€

Price to be confirmed.
