As we plan for the formal release of the 200 SE, I thought I would post a few pictures of the new high performance 4" woofer. The heart of our products has always been the drivers, and the new 200 SE is no exception.
These new 4" woofers use much of the same advancements found in the incredible 5 1/4" woofer used in the Sierra-1. These include high compliance combined with low inductance, increased excursion and a low resonance frequency. The results are greatly improved dynamics and deeper bass extension, without sacrificing efficiency while keeping cabinet volume the same.
The cast aluminum frame is deeper to allow for greater excursion, the magnet assembly is considerably larger to create a stronger magnetic field which provides better damping of the cone and more accurate transient reproduction.
The now "classic" HTM-200 used a custom built audiophile grade 4" woofer -- the new HTM-200 SE woofer is a tremendous upgrade and I seriously doubt you will find a higher performing 4" woofer anywhere. For a 4” woofer, it is simply THAT good
Attached are pics of the new woofer and the new woofer compared to the HTM-200 classic woofer.
Enjoy!!
