Millennium-2
The
Millennium-2 is a truly full-range electrostatic loudspeaker. "So What?" you ask. What can
a Millennium-2 do for me that other speakers can't do? This is a reasonable question when you are
about to invest your money. It's our job to give a satisfactory answer. Perhaps, the most effective
approach is to mention what reactions others have had to the Millennium-2. After listening to them,
some have used objectives like: clean, crisp, undistorted, excellent imaging, very life-like, etc.
Perhaps, the best summary was given by a well-known reviewer: "Never in my life have I lived
with a speaker that has brought, and continues to bring, as much pleasure, excitement and
satisfaction. In short, I am madly, passionately in love with their sound".
What would cause listeners to make such glowing remarks? Technically
speaking, the answer is simple. In part, it
is due to the super-low mass
of the membrane coupled with an iso-phasically applied driving force that evenly and uniformly moves
every square inch of the membrane at the same time. Furthermore, there is only one transducing
surface encompassing the entire audio spectrum, preserving the critical temporal relationships of
the original music. More could be said about distributed resonance for enhancing bass response, the
pure-copper charge diffusion ring for a more uniform charge distribution and faster charging, the optional
toroidal
audio transformers for superior acoustic resolution, the wide spectrally-uniform energy dispersion
and many more technical advances that are only found in Sound Lab electrostatic transducers.
We invite you to visit your local Sound Lab dealer and audition the Millennium-2. You will never view music production as before.
