New pipes on the Horizon
Akos Garai
Basically, thanks to my friend, János I am on the path that go towards
sky where Gods live, with no other thing than a pipe, a Voigt one, that
slightly can symbolically be expressed as splendid origin. I am happy to
have built my Voigt with Fostex FE206E drivers.
The bodywork of the pipes was carried out by a cranky wood maker who has
first made one cabinet only, but after weeks I got a pair, of course.
The wood used is first class, dried spruce from Austrian forest. Line
follows tradition of original Lowther-Voigt pipe design modified by
Derek Walton, with little revision in dimensions adjusted to great
FE206E speakers.
Maybe it is too early to say something definite about my Voigt just
after having 21 hours of break-in period, but one is sure: singe ended
triode amplifiers are simply best mated with single driver speaker
design, especially if you want to hear an elegant, well-balanced, clear,
and living sound without extravagance in your listening room. I do hear
that now... Please find attached some pictures of my audio gear,
including the actual Voigt Pipes.

I still recalled the excitement I had when I first auditioned my SET (Wright Sound 3.5 Mono) and single driver speaker (Lowther PM-5A/Edgar horn) system a couple of years back. It may not be the 'last word' in top and bottom-end extensions but its mid-range was more close to music than many systems that I am faimiliar with including some highly phrased electrostatics.
I am glad that we found your way to 'heaven'.
