our GBP £650 speaker MODIFIED IN ENGLAND BY LIM AIK LEONG (beware of fakes)
will EASILY beat (or match) any other with 1 piece of 6 inch speaker + 1 inch tweter
that sells for GBP £300 to GBP £11,000
( except that you SHOULD get better bass from )
( a WELL DESIGNED (that need not be insanely expensive) big cabinet.)
(So, if our competitor cabinet is 3 times our size,)
(the 6 inch drive unit should produce deeper bass,)
(but with a huge loss in power handling,)
(because the SMALL 6 inch drive units have to move a lot)
(to produce DEEP bass,)
(and the 'typical' 6 inch drive unit can only move forward and backward by 3 millimetres,)
(before distorting badly.)
 
 

    Beautiful EXPENSIVE REAL Cherry wood veneer
or Beautiful EXPENSIVE REAL Maple wood veneer (same price)

+ EXPENSIVE PIANO FINISH (looks like old fashion French Polish)

+ 'High End'. 6 inch paper (modified with wool) cone 
    with EXPENSIVE HUGE magnets

+ "High End' 1 inch dome tweeter.

+ 'High End' crossover using EXPENSIVE Plastic Film capacitors (not cheep electrolytic)

+ 'High End' sophisticated 3 rd order 18 decibel per octave crossover,
   which need 3 times more components than 
    cheap 1 st order 6 decibel per octave filters used in many stand mount speakers,
    to save money, whist 'bluffing' the Hi Fi Enthusiast that
    cheap inferior 1st order 6 decibel crossover are good !


POWERFUL SIX INCH SPEAKER
HUGE HUGE EXPENSIVE MAGNET
 


tweeter hole drilled trough pole piece,
+ sophisticated designed rear chamber,
with a 'central cone', to disperse the sound,
and is much more sophisticated than 
an simple aluminium tube, 
used in GBP £1600 ti GBP £11000 speaker !


 
 
 
WARNING - Almost all stand mount speakers with SMALL 6 inch speaker are NOT suitable for HUGE 20 feet room.
If you must use SMALL 6 inch speaker in 20 feet room, please sit 6 feet (or less) from ANY 6 inch stand mount speaker.
Our 6 inch speaker can go louder (without being irritating, because of the our sophisticated crossover,
that does a better job of preventing human voice overloading the tiny 1 inch dome than
the cheap simple 1 capacitor crossover found in many 6 inch speakers, costing from GBP £300 to GBP £11000)
but we recommend a MAXIMUM sitting distance of maybe 7 feet or 8 feet.
If you have HUGE 20 feet room, you will be MUCH BETTER OFF buying our
ebay listing for our 'High End' speaker with
2 pieces of POWERFUL LOUD 8 inch speaker
+ 5 inch coated paper midrange
+ 1 inch dome tweeter
+ 'High End' sophisticated EXPENSIVE crossover with EXPENSIVE HUGE inductors and mostly EXPENSIVE plastic film capacitor
for GBP £750 or GBP £1500 or GBP £2500

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The original Chinese version is only GBP £350 but
that the original GBP £350 version has too much treble for British taste.

At the moment you have to buy the MODIFIED IN ENGLAND BY LIM AIK LEONG
(Beware of fakes) for GBP £650

In the long term the Chinese factory MIGHT (or might not)
and modify the speaker to Lim Aik Leong specification,
to suit British taste,
and we can lower the price to £ ..?....

----------------------------------------------
 

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE (less shipping charges.  Unaltered Equipment returned during one-month home trial)
that
1.  EASILY EASILY BLATANTLY OBVIOUS sounds much better than British famous brand GBP £11,000 speakers reviewed in hifi News in 2007 issue,
for human voices, cymbals, midrange and treble.

However, the British famous brand GBP £11,000 speakers is in a BIG CABINET,
and should produce better deeper bass
than our smallish compact cabinet.

2.  Beat (or match) any GBP £300 to GBP £11,000 speakers
     with one or two pieces of six inch speakers + one inch tweeter
     for human voices, cymbals, midrange and treble.

     FOR THE SIZE OF OUR SMALLISH COMPACT CABINET,
     the bass is good.

     Of course, any half decent speaker designer should be able to
     produce better bass with 2 pieces of six inch speakers in a BIG CABINET.

     If you must have superb bass + human voices, cymbals, midrange and treble,
     our eBay listing for our affordable valve Company ' ultra high end' speakers with
     two pieces of 8 inch woofers + five inch midrange + one inch from tweeter
     will have much better bass than
     two pieces of 6 inch woofers !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS eBay listing is for GBP £650 READY TO USE (no need to mess about) Affordable Valve Company '6 inch Chinatown'
MODIFIED IN ENGLAND BY LIM AIK LEONG (beware of fakes)

WARNING -- We mind (or might not) be able to persuade the Chinese factory to the modifications for us,
                    and drop the price to an absolute bargain of GBP £ ???

-------------------------------------------------------------------
If GBP £650 is too much for you , and you are VERY GOOD at DIY (Do it yourself),
please see our OTHER eBay listings for a Do It yourself version for GBP £370 if
1. You can drill ACCURATE holes in 6.7 millimetres thick aluminium.
    The holes must be ACCURATELY drilled or the metal clad resistors will not fit.

    + POWERFUL soldiering iron (about 50 watts) + hexagonal screwdrivers + pliers,  etc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AFFORDABLE VALVE COMPANY BEAUTY IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP

The most important part of a loudspeakers is

one.  The knowledge of the designers
the COMBINED knowledge of the Chinese designer (living in China) and Lim Aik Leong (living in England) is probably the best in the world.
This sounds arrogant until I explained that ..........
the famous British brand GBP £11,000 loudspeakers shows that the treble from 8000 hertz to 20,000 hertz is about three decibel more than the midrange.
Most loudspeakers designers will agree that this is a terrible result,
and it will make the loudspeakers sound a bit irritating and a bit bright, which might produce 'good imaging/exaggerated imaging.

Two. Almost all the sound comes from the six inch speakers.
(Who cares about diamond dome tweeters, which only produce the SMALL FRACTION of the sound,)
(if the six inch speaker, which produce MOST of the sound, is not perfect.)

Our six inch speaker is' ultra high end' an is amongst the Best six inch speakers in the world.
This sounds unbelievable until I explained that ..........
eight.  The knowledge and experience of the person who designed the six inch paper + ' modified' with wool (I think)
is priceless.
Unfortunately, I cannot prove this easily,
either than to say that
the final frequency response of the MODIFIED IN ENGLAND LIM AIK LEONG VERSION has a superbly flat frequency response,
MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THE FAMOUS BRITISH BRAND GBP £11,000 POUNDS SPEAKERS

The subjective listening test also prove that the six inch paper: +' modified' with wool (I think)
sounds superb superb superb, and even better than the measurements.
(Sometimes, some loudspeakers were flat frequency response sound good, but not super superb super.)
(Frequency response is only part of the story.  You need to consider waterfall curves, overloading of tweeters, midrange or woofer, please ignore the schoolboy fantasy that loudspeakers can handle 10 watts without overloading !)

Be.  Ignoring the designer's knowledge, which is priceless and you cannot put a value on knowledge,
the most expensive part of the  loudspeakers in pounds and pence (or dollars and cents)
are the magnets.
Please look at the HUGE HUGE HUGE EXPENSIVE MAGNET in the photograph of the six inch speakers,
and comparing with the MUCH SMALLER MAGNETS of most of our competitors Loudspeakers

Please look at the HUGE HUGE HUGE EXPENSIVE MAGNET in the photograph of the six inch speakers,
and comparing with the magnet of the famous British company's GBP £11,000 loudspeakers on page ..... in hifi News ....... issue.

c.  In order to make the loudspeakers as rigid is possible,
     the metal frame is made from EXPENSIVE CAST METAL.

The designer of the six inch drive unit must have decided to build and' ultra high end'
drive unit with huge expensive magnets + expensive cast metal frame
to bring the best out of his superb six inch paper +' modified with wool (I think) cone.

     Many manufacturers try to save money by making the metal frame out of 'stamped' sheet metal.

d. There is a whole drilled through the back of the magnet,
to allow the pressure

-------------------------------------------------------
Tweeter

This must be the strangest one inch dome tweeter I have seen.

However, when I think about it,
the designer of the one inch dome tweeter is brilliant,
and I am surprised that
other designers have not copied his tweeter (maybe the design is protected by a worldwide patents)

When the tweeter makes a sound,
you will get a sound from the FRONT of the dome.

You will also get a sound from the REAR of the dome.

If you do not do something,
the sound from the REAR of the dome,
would hit the magnet,
and be reflected towards the dome,
and EASILY pass through the dome,
to the listeners ears.

The listeners will hear
the sound from the FRONT of the dome (which is good)
and, a fraction of a second later,
the sound from the REAR of the dome (which is bad)

----------------------------------------

The tweeter in the famous British brand GBP £11,000 speakers,
let the sound from the REAR of the dome
pass through a tube (which might be filled with sound absorbent).

That is a good solution to the problem
of the sound from the REAR of the dome,
but
I am not paying GBP £11,000 for a tube struck to the back of a tweeter !
