About the 1

The Fab Audio Model 1 is a high-efficiency, retro-styled loudspeaker system from Fab Audio, featuring a 2.5-way, 3-driver configuration. It includes a 10-inch midbass driver, a 1.25-inch tweeter, and a rear-firing woofer. The speakers are known for their large soundstage and detailed sound, though some reviews note a forward treble and a midbass that can be lacking, with sensitivity to room placement. The tweeters have their own dedicated tube amplifier with an external volume control located at the rear. The crossover is internal and adjustable by inserting specific capacitors, with a stock crossover frequency at 8500 Hz and a 12 dB/octave slope. The tweeters automatically turn on and off based on signal presence. The speakers require careful positioning and angling of the super tweeters for optimal performance. They are considered to have a vintage speaker sound character and are highly regarded for focus and separation in the soundstage.
