Throughout history, a few ingenious men have had insights into the nature of things that were inherently perfect. Insights like the law of gravitation or the theory of relativity. Lincoln Walsh had just such an insight. By cutting through the complexity and compromise of existing acoustic design theory, he touched upon the basic truths of sound reproduction and discovered how to create the perfect loudspeaker. In 1969, Lincoln Walsh was issued U.S. Patent No. 3424873 on his new concept--a concept so radically different that it's still the only speaker design currently available that can't be found in any known acoustic textbook. After more than two years of extensive research and testing, we at Infinity have translated and extended the Walsh "perfect loud speaker" concept into the world's most perfect high frequency reproducer. We call it the wave transmission line tweeter, and we believe it heralds the beginning of a whole new era in sound reproduction. By utilizing the Walsh design principle, a speaker can now be produced that finally achieves what acoustic engineers have for years considered the unattainable ideal--a perfectly coherent sound source. Acting like a pulsating cylinder, the Infinity wave transmission line tweeter is, like a laser beam, both spatially and temporally coherent--a fact no other speaker design can honestly claim. It is completely transient perfect--a fact no other speaker design can honestly claim. With frequency response that goes beyond 38 KHz, horizontal dispersion of 360° and vertical dispersion of 60°, the room coverage of all high frequency information is virtually perfect--a fact no speaker design can honestly claim. What does the Infinity wave transmission line tweeter sound like? No advertising adjectives, no sonic superlatives will do. You must personally experience it before its startling impact on the art of sound reproduction can be truly appreciated. Once you do, we think you'll agree that the Walsh "pulsating cylinder" is the wave of the future. The new Infinity Monitor (pictured) and the more recently introduced 2000 AXT both feature the new Infinity wave transmission line tweeter. Through our existing family of fine dealers, these two new speakers at $429 and $299 have already established a pre-eminent position in medium to higher priced speakers. The Infinity Monitor's classic design is already blatantly being copied by our "imitators." But you don't have to settle for any imitations, you can have the original! These are definitely not "rock" Monitors, nor "classical" 2000 AXT's! They are versatile new speakers, outstandingly accurate, and perform equally well regardless of program material or source. Ask your Infinity dealer for a dynamic demonstration of these innovative speakers, or contact us for more complete data on the Monitor, the 2000 AXT and the other fine products from Infinity. *Manufactured by Infinity under license of Ohm Acoustics Corporation.
