Excellence 3 AMT
Excellence 3 AMT is a smaller loudspeaker in the Excellence AMT line. Featuring one 5″ SEAS Excel midrange and one AUDES woofer together with an AMT tweeter it was designed for smaller rooms. Nevertheless its sound still retains the majority of key features found in EXCELLENCE 5 AMT, such as a quick response and a precise soundstage. The lower frequencies are handled by one side-firing 8″ woofer in a ported enclosure.
The compact enclosure is built very much similar to the one of Excellence 5 AMT, with non-resonant 50-mm-thick walls and a complex internal bracing system. To prevent any standing waves inside the cabinet a great effort was put to minimise the number of parallel surfaces.
AMT Tweeter Adjustment
Due to specific properties of AMT it might need some adjustment at times. In some rooms, depending on the positioning of the loudspeakers and the listener, it might sound too bright or, on the contrary, too dull. In order to accommodate for these potential issues the control over the AMT response is provided. The adjustment knob is located on the rear wall of the speaker. It is used to carefully tune the level of AMT. Such adjustment introduces practically no changes to the phase response of the loudspeaker, thus leaving the soundstage intact.
