About the Transcendent

The Avalon Acoustics Transcendent is a two-way, three-driver loudspeaker system with a unique faceted diamond-shaped cabinet designed to minimize standing waves and enhance sound clarity. It features a 25.4mm concave ceramic dome tweeter with a neodymium motor and two 178mm Nomex/Kevlar composite cone woofers working in parallel. The speaker is vented through a floor vent (not a tuned port), allowing the cabinet to breathe without creating port noise. It has a frequency response from 26Hz to 25kHz, nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and sensitivity of 88dB. Recommended amplifier power ranges from 50 to 500 watts. The cabinet dimensions are 250mm wide, 1050mm high, and 370mm deep, weighing 44kg each. The Transcendent is noted for its quick, open, and dynamic sound with precise treble and controlled bass, suitable for high-end audio setups. It is available in standard wood finishes such as curly maple, quilted cherry, and figured walnut. The speakers require careful installation but are considered more forgiving than other Avalon models. The price is approximately for trade-in units, with new pairs historically
