At the January 2008 CES, Accent Speaker Technology introduced the
Nola Baby Grand Reference loudspeaker. Seven years of research
have gone into this product, as it uses the same technology found in
our flagship $145,000 Nola Grand Reference. The Baby Grand is a
smaller two-tower system utilizing the exact same transducers as are
found in the Grand Reference in order to provide the same quality. A
pair of Baby Grand towers employs four 9-inch magnesium woofers, eight
4½-inch open baffle dipole midranges with Alnico magnets, and
eight 4-inch true ribbon tweeters with neodymium magnets. The drivers
are arrayed in a unique mirror-imaged, short line source, open baffle
array. Enclosure coloration throughout the middle and high frequencies
is non-existent. This unique design produces life-sized images while
retaining focus and sounds "live" instead of the typical mechanical
sound of most loudspeakers.The 3½-way passive Xtreme Crossover is mounted in an external unit to further free the loudspeaker from coloration due to crossover component vibration. The Xtreme Crossover utilizes state of the art passive components as are used in the Nola Grand Reference. The Baby Grand comes with a ball-bearing speaker isolation base to free it from the sound of coloration due to floor vibrations. The Xtreme Crossover is bi-wired to the amplifier and is connected to the speaker via the supplied Nordost Valhalla mono-filament jumpers.
