A cutaway diagram of one of Tom's new VAF speakers - the DCX model. They're about five foot tall; have a complicated series of baffles inside and are reasonably efficient, meaning they can be driven to high pressure levels quite easily. At present receiving 100 wpc each. Very impressive sound, esp. on jazz-rock such as Joan Armatrading. Good on classical too... Tight reproduction across the frequency range; impressive bottom end esp. teamed with the VAF subwoofer
