"I would have thought that the SASANDU would just multiply my experience with the Ara BE tenfold. This is not the case as the SASANDU carries its own sound signature albeit using similar drivers as Ara BE. The whole cabinet design somehow gave a different perspective and listening experience to me in my system. "
EL Hefe Hifi Reviews
WHAT are SATORI TEXTREME® drivers?
SATORI TeXtreme drivers are made of Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragms (TPCD). Thin-ply carbon is a novel type of material that is used in applications that require the absolute highest performance in combination with ultralight weight - allowing the diaphragm to reproduce sounds with extreme clarity.
why use SATORI TEXTREME® drivers?
It boils down to physics. Heavier, thicker cones have more mass, which requires more energy from the voice coil to move. Heavier cones also have more inertia, they cannot start and stop moving quickly.
Exceptional Handling
If you have a car, It is exactly like accelerating and braking. A car with shorter acceleration and braking times are well-regarded in the automotive industry as to have ‘exceptional handling’.
Cars like these are sought after as they accelerate and stop exactly where you want it, without overshooting, sliding, or crashing head-first into a car in front of you, when you least expected it.
That’s why car chassis are now made with lighter, stronger materials, so the engine doesn’t have to work as hard, while keeping passengers safe in an emergency.
Reducing drag and flexing
Textreme is used in the audio loudspeaker industry due to its high specific stiffness, which allows it to retain shape under high loads. The speaker cone is subject to high stress due to their continuous back-and-forth movement in producing sound.
Textreme is lightweight, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the cone, reducing drag and flexing, leading to tighter, cleaner transient response.
How does Textreme compare to Beryllium?
So far we have had experts say Textreme sounds like a warmer version of Beryllium and think Beryllium sounds slightly warmer. This means it is a more budget friendly equivalent to beryllium!
Wouldn’t Textreme sound lean and harsh as it is so stiff?
Stiff materials are needed to re-create audio as accurately to the source as possible. This is why SB Acoustics’ Satori TeXtreme tweeters and midwoofer drivers are well reviewed. Despite the stiff material, sounds appear life-like, with good imaging and body, with virtually no harshness.
Here at Artisan Acoustics, we have a limited run on the Textreme Edition speaker kits in Malaysia and Singapore. We think you will appreciate how they sound, so WhatsApp us to arrange a demo session, and have a listen yourself to decide!
