Drivers
My wish list for these drivers was extensive and
considerable listening as well as engineering has gone into their design and
refinement. Most of these drivers are manufactured to our specification by
the fine folks at Eminence and are made right here in the USA. We also
source drivers from the Radian corporation of California for use in our
upscale "Sterling” grade coaxials. You can rest assured that every Silver
Iris Audiophile driver is constructed to the highest of standards and were
designed to give you a lifetime of listening enjoyment.
We have initially focused on open baffle specific
drivers and are currently offering drivers in two grade levels (PSI and SSI)
as well as two different sizes (10” and 15”). We have full range
coaxial designs and are the originators of the Silver Iris open baffle bass
augmentation driver better known simply as "The Augie".
“It seems to me that many listeners confuse
bass weight with bass extension and opt for a subwoofer when bass weight is
lacking. The problem typically lies in the upper bass, the octave from 120Hz
to 240Hz where much of an orchestra's foundation and acoustic power resides.
This is the octave that box woofers have a hard time coping with, basically
managing to sound boxy through this range. In contrast, the Augie managed to
shine here, elucidating instrumental fundamentals with consummate clarity
and 3D realism."

Look for additional drivers to be released in the
future as we strive to continue to grow and expand the Silver Iris line of
drivers. Commercial as well as DIY inquiries are most welcome.
