ENERGY
Energy Speaker Systems has a history of research and development in acoustics, speaker engineering and manufacturing for over 30 years. As one of the very fortunate members of the original NRC (National Research Council), the founders of Energy Speakers were involved with some of the earliest research on psychoacoustics, which lead to incredible breakthroughs in speaker design. Understanding how people hear and listen lead to three simple, yet vital factors that are the basis for Energy Speakers design and construction.
These
factors are Flat On-Axis Frequency
Response with Wide Bandwidth, Wide and
Constant Dispersion and Low Distortion &
Resonance.
This basic Energy philosophy hasn't
changed in over 30 years, yet our
extensive research methodology and the
available technology and materials have
steadily improved, enabling Energy to
continue to manufacture speaker systems
that achieve outstanding performance
through consistent improvements to all
of these three critical parameters.

JL
AUDIO HOME
JL Audio has long been known for their
superior quality and development in
mobile audio speakers and other
mobile audio products. Now, they
have brought that same passion and
quality to the home audio market
with their introduction of the
Gotham and Fathom lines of powered
subwoofers.
A luxurious, hand-rubbed gloss-black
finish is complimented by machined
aluminum and stainless steel accents
for a look and feel that fits
perfectly with the finest home
furnishings. More importantly, the
beautiful cabinet houses JL Audio's
highest technology subwoofer
driver(s). The front mounted
controls make them a dream to set up
and adjust. And, using the exclusive
Automatic Room Optimization (A.R.O.)
system, each subwoofer can be placed
in a variety of locations in the
room that may have been less than
optimum without A.R.O. This assures
that the response is always smooth,
even in challenging rooms.
Designing and building superior
subwoofer drivers lies at the core
of JL's passion for audio, and the
JL Audio home line of speakers
offers an uncompromised level of
sound and beauty that audiophiles

TOTEM
ACOUSTICS
Vince Bruzzese in Montreal, Canada
founded Totem Acoustic in 1987. The new
company's original mission was to
develop a totally new transducer, a
loudspeaker capable of reproducing a
truly musical and involving performance.
The goal was to
provide something not currently
available on the market--an affordable
"soul mover" for the music lover. The
"Totem Acoustic" name was chosen as an
ongoing symbolic representation of this
mission and vision. The Totem
represents, to the native North American
people, an entity that chooses an
individual and then guides that person
during his or her life. Totem Acoustic
is a bridge to higher musical awareness.
A speaker should exhibit liveliness and
spaciousness of sound, with all the
qualities that make live music truly
soul moving. Dynamics, transients,
decay, harmonics, timbre, and rhythm
must be realistically portrayed. Few
speakers address all of these
parameters.

JL
AUDIO
JL Audio's
world-renowned
speakers
are
the
result
of
obsessive
engineering
for
car
audio
by
people
who
truly
understand
car
audio.
In

JL also introduced
its
first
line
of
car
amplifiers,
featuring
exciting
new
technologies
and
very
complete
feature
sets.
Although
founded
in
1975,
JL Audio
came
to
U.S.
prominence
in
the
early
1990's
after
dominant
performances
by

competition.
For
the
past
11
years,
the

subwoofers
have
been
used
by
more
IASCA
Finals
champions
and
competitors
than
any
other,
amassing
50
First
Place
trophies
in
the
history
of
the
event.
Behind
the
competition
success
is
a
group
of
people
with
an
intense
devotion
to
car
audio
technology.
The
company's
co-founder
and
CEO,
Lucio Proni,
is
also
the
head
loudspeaker
development
engineer.
Mr.
Proni
and
his
engineering
staff
follow
through
on
a
very
palpable
and
no-nonsense
commitment
to
designing
and
building
products
that
work
phenomenally
well
in
the
tough
automotive
environment.
This
commitment
is
even
evident
in
the
company's
slogan:
"Ahead
of
the
Curve™."
When
it
comes
to
innovative
and
effective
audio
technology
for
your
automobile,

is
a
good
place
to
start
looking,
