Phil Jones'  loudspeaker company AAD makes the front page twice in one day with another new loudspeaker line, the AAD Vi Series.

 

The AAD Vi Series consists of the Vi630 and Vi860 floorstanding models, the Vi410 bookshelf and the Vi420 center channel. The 3 way, 42 1/2" tall AAD Vi630 features two 6.5" composite cone woofers, a 6.5" kevlar and carbon fiber transmission-loaded midrange and a 1" textile dome tweeter. Monumental at 49" tall, the 3 way AAD Vi860 ups the ante to two 8" composite cone woofers coupled with the same midrange and tweeter, and plumbs down to 24Hz. Both the Vi410 and Vi420 utilize the same 1" tweeter coupled with a 4" composite cone midranges. The Vi Series are efficient (88-91dB) and range the same amplifier-friendly 6-8 ohm load.   

 

The AAD Vi410 is a wallet-friendly $550/pair, and while pricing details aren't available on the rest of the line at press time, you can be sure they won't scare off price-conscious audiophiles. The AAD Vi860 is likely going to be one of the least expensive full range loudspeakers you'll find.
