Wisdom Audio Sage Series Architectual Planar Hybrid Speakers First Look

[admin]

Wisdom Audio describes themselves as "the leader in planar magnetic technologies for architectural speaker solutions." Wisdom Audio has 11 different speaker offerings nearly all of which incorporate planar magnetic and traditional transducer types. They specialize in in- and on-wall speakers but do have a few freestanding options. Because of their unique design, they require integration with their proprietary active crossover which has, surprisingly, Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction built in. Wisdom Audio has taken what is obviously an audiophile product and married it with technology that will make it sound its best. While others are pushing special rocks and cones, Wisdom is adding room correction and dedicated amps. We can see the wisdom in that.

Couldn't they use a name that doesn't sound like WILSON Audio?

Isn't there a law against that?

Reminds me of the White Van speakers like Paradyme (instead of Paradigm), Acoustics (instead of Acoustic Research), etc.

They aren't electrostatic speakers either, they are a type of ribbon. An electrostatic loudspeaker uses no magnets at all. They are basically huge capacitors, and the membrane moved uniformly by modulating a huge, (several thousand) volt charge on the membrane.
