Salk Sound has unveiled a new floorstanding loudspeaker, the Pharos HET.

 

The obelisk-like Pharos stands 44 inches tall and sports a 12" JBL woofer mated with a 6.5" PHL midbass and Aurum Cantus G2 ribbon tweeter. The Pharos is rear ported with two 3" flared ports, and has a measured frequency response of 44-25,000Hz. The HET stands for high efficiency tower, and the Pharos boast an impressive 95dB efficiency rating, and present an 8 ohm load, making them a good choice for tube amplifiers. The tapered construction of the Pharos allows for the necessary enclosure volume, while presenting a loudspeaker that doesn't overwhelm the space it occupies.

 

Pricing on the Pharos HET is $7995/pair, and like the rest of Jim Salk's offerings, are available in just about any finish you can imagine.
