The Niagara Speaker
Waterfall Audio is the maker and
designer of this beautiful speaker.
A French manufacturer company has
built a glass encased speaker system.
The Niagara is a visual wonder. The
components are all exposed and the
carefully positioned wiring. It is as if
the speakers are floating. Each
speaker takes on the background in
which it sits in front of therefore you
hardly even notice them, but when
you do notice it's in awe.
The Waterfall Audio company builds the speakers upon special order. The speaker can be custom and each mid-range driver is wrapped in Nappa Leather and you can choose different colored leather.
The speaker case is a 15 mm thick tempered glass with a remarkable shine and when light hits them they come to life.
The Mid-Range Driver are 2 x 7 180 mm Atohm LD 165 EX.
The Mids have a outstanding crisp bass and mid tone. The voices and percussion sounds live.
The top tweeter has it's own little glass house with a horn shape.
The tweeter is 0.8 in 20 mm Silk Dome.
A very clean high tone comes from this speaker pulling the sounds together.
The back of the tweeter houses the connections for Audio Equipment. I am not sure this is where I would have put them, perhaps at the bottom base. This will probably have you thinking about what kind of wire you want to use for these glass enclosures.
The bottom of the speaker houses a sub woofer. The sub is a 1 x 8 210 mm Passive Ultra Low Frequency Driver the Atohm UFR 210.
The bass from this speaker is deep and tight. The sub fills the room with feeling and demands your attention.
The Niagara is a great high end speaker system.
Efficiency is 89db, Frequency Response is 36HZ - 28kHZ, Peak Power 500W, Dimensions 300x1200x320mm or 11.8" x 47.25" x12.6" (L x H x D), Weight 84 lbs
While standing there listening to this wonderful sound it takes every bit of energy to leave your spot and walk up to this glass enclosure to see the music literally moving inside the case.....really cool!
