(1978 - 1984)
High-end
audio in small sizes - a dream, isn't it ?
Not really high-end but, in 1978, really advanced bookshelf (literally
this time) loudspeaker design.
High
power handling, diecast alumium enclosures, rubber coating damping,
aluminium voice coils, polyamide adhesives, polyester insulation,
aluminium film caps (SB-F1 and SB-F2), high rigidity woofers, anti-resonant
center cap (SB-F1), 10,000 Gauss magnetic flux, linear phase driver
placement, linear phase (very linear for the SB-F1), copper-clad
aluminium voice coil 2 or 3-piece horn tweeters, polyurethane free
edge woofers - and good looks, too.
Basically
using the same driver technology tricks as in the well remembered
SB-7000A.
Upgraded in the mid 1980s as SB-F1mkII and SB-F2mkII.
I
really wonder how these would compare today next to present offerings
competing in "small size - big sound".
