Sony's
masterpiece of engineering of the 1980s - available in Japan only.
Along the (much) bigger SS-G777ES,
and despite a very attractive price, the G333ES
seemingly sold very little. Why oh why? Because "Sony"
is written on them and as we all know, that can't be good.
However,
gather around and listen:
the SS-G333ES' bass and mid drivers
useSony's own High Stiffness Polyolefin
which is stiffer and lighter than almost everything. Also it is
resistant to heat and water. And the tweeter is made of 99,9% pure
crystals of Alumina - way lighter and
faster than titanium. And if you click the "more" button
below, you'll find the rest of the engineering details taken from
Sony's own DIGIC corporate magazine.
But
this I'll emphasize here : since 100% non-resonant enclosures are
science-fiction only, why not tune the residual resonances to something
useful? Well, the enclosure and baffle of the G333ES are tuned to
resonate at 365Hz (rear), 457Hz (sides) and 550Hz (top). And those
frequencies are the equivalent of the following musical notes: DO,
FA and LA (C, F and A for you anglo-saxon people).
How's
that for engineering extra-ordinaire ?
