Defining a new model for a relatively new company in the market place is always challenging. With Borg Fink Team made their second model a success by being innovative. For their next model, they designed a speaker they would use themselves, something they could have fun in designing! Due to the low height of the design the speaker is tilted on its dedicated stand, this ensures that in a normal listening position the soundstage has the correct height and size. There is still the ability to adjust the angle in case the listener is closer or further away from the speakers. As the stand is so important for the final sound it comes together with the speaker. The stand is made from stainless steel and only has very small surfaces that could radiate resonances and is light enough not to store energy. For adjustment to different amplifiers the woofer damping can be modified and a second switch sets the HF level. The crossover is at a low 2200Hz, the AMT is also connected via a passive delay to adjust the phase in relation with the woofer – something that worked very well in Borg. Components are high quality Mundorf, or custom built as needed. The woofer uses a paper cone, with a rubber surround. With an 8” driver It is not possible to use corrugated cloth as a surround material without too many compromises. To get the resonance frequency down to the level required for the cabinet it would reduce the midrange quality and add colouration. For the cabinet they used all the tricks and whistles they’d learnt over the years. The walls are made from two panels with the latest damping glue between them, the bracing is all carefully optimised with resonators added to avoid standing wave modes without killing the fun out of the box with excessive damping material. The port is made using the same principles developed with Borg, but this time it’s integrated into the rear panel.
