Acustik-Lab Bolero Special SWB-WN (Swiss High Precision Audio System)
ULTRA RARE!
The enclosure is limited only to this finishing.
The stand-mount, 2-way, 2-speaker,front bass reflex type speaker system of bolero series.
The 12.5cm corn type squawker is carried in the 12.5cm corn type Woofer and the inside region low-pass.
These units have adopted the double voice coil system, and the bobbin made from nomex excellent in heat resistance is adopted as the voice coil bobbin. Moreover, to a diaphragm, it is lightweight and rigidity is using neo flex time with a moderate high internal loss. One of the coil produces bass below 200Hz the other goes to 2200 Hz when it crosses over to the tweeter. Probably one of the best 5 inch driver ever made by Focal - Focal 5N412DBL. Thanks to this driver these speakers sound like twice bigger size.
The 3.0cm reverse dome shape tweeter is carried in the high region.
The diaphragm of this unit is a product made from a titanium alloy, and has canceled the sound quality problem of the titanium alloy which generally tends to become sharp. This is Focal TC120 driver.
A network made by ETM is adopting the part selected carefully while attaining simplification of the circuit, and is reducing internal resistance. The silver internal wiring with gold plated spades.

In beatiful and pristine condition and very opulent indeed. The mid-low driver taken out just to show you how luxury they are made. They were tried with Jadis valve amps and transistor Siltech Sphinx mono’s as well. Truly great speakers.
These could be a good opportunity for someone in the know. I have very proper double boxes with foam chunks for them so postage possible.
Thank for looking.
