This is the first system imported for sale. These speakers were used at the 2007 Las Vegas CES Show and are in perfect condition. They come with full factory warranty. If you have any questions please ask. Speakers are shown without grill in picture, but includes the grills.

Swan introduced two new Tower array designs for 2009 and even the two new models being introduced do not include the amp/electronic cross-over, as part of the design.

Continuing the legend, the King is back

Swans 2.2F obtained two prizes on the international stage for it’s innovation linear ribbon speaker structure, Hi-End appearance, and perfect reproduction of a detailed sound field.
The 2.3F is our newest revision of the Swans 2.2F. Swans 2.3Fs are an ultimate ribbon speaker system, with its design focused on sound quality and sound stage reproduction. Swans 2.3 front/back linear sound source system creates a large and powerful sound stage. Its huge dynamic range with power from 1w to 1500w can easily convey the detail and warmth of large concerts. Suitable for the customers with a listening room over 400 sq. ft. that want the best sound available for both hi-end music and the sound effects of today’s movies. High-resolution Isodynamic ribbon tweeters, low loss linear transmission sound source, and two independent 15” subwoofers. See the woofer at: http://www.swanspeaker.com/product/htm/view.asp?id=414

Swans 2.3F is suitable for large villa’s, professional recording studios, screening theaters, or broadcast systems.

Modern Hi-End design

HiVi’s original isodynamic ribbon designs are well known throughout the world. The 2.3F takes full advantage of the strength of Swans ribbon technology bringing sound quality to a new level.

Swans 2.3F uses 20 x 28mm dome tweeter and 20 x RT1.3 on the front baffle . it also uses 12 of each mounted to the rear of the baffle. The drivers are arranged in a Front/Back linear sound source system. The mid-range is delivered by HiVi's professional 6” full range Mid/bass driver. The Swans 2.3 Sub adopts a large professional 15” woofer.

The input power range of Swans 2.3F is 10W-800W, power is distributed to a multi-cell linear matrix structure. This special structure makes every driver work in an optimal low distortion situation. Measuring almost 2 meters in height and finished in the highest quality natural wood veneer, the Swans 2.3F+ are as stunning visually as they are acoustically.

Excellent drivers succeed in making a great speaker system

The unique and patented magnetic belt structure of the RT1.3 is complimented by our ultra thin integrated Kapton / Aluminum membrane with the conductive electric surface occupying 90% of the membranes surface. Each membrane is precisely installed over the center of 5 rows of neodymium Boron Iron magnetic bars that actuate the driving force. The RT1.3’s membrane vibrates in the same manner as traditional dome tweeter to produce sound but because 90% of the actuating surface is also serves as the systems driving force it is able to produce sound in a way that a dome tweeter using a voice coil never could. It can easily produce the slightest of sounds and highest of frequencies effortlessly. The transient characteristics of our isodynamic ribbon designs go far beyond the traditional dome tweeter.

HiVi 28mm tweeter uses natural fabric dome diaphragm from Germany, frequency response is smooth, tamber is sweet and clear. The driving structure is composed using shielded high performance neodymium Iron Boron magnets. The drivers use a liquid cooling system with a special magnetic liquid to reduce the non-linear distortion of the driver unit at high-power.

HiVi professional 6.5” mid-range and 15” woofer make sure the speaker system can reach the limits of low frequency effect.

Swans 2.3F broke through traditional design ideas, both the front and back panel install a line of high and mid frequency drivers. It is a Bi-pole multi-direction radiation speaker system.

Swans 2.3F high sensitivity design allows the system to be driven by 100w-800w high fidelity amplifiers.

Sound so real you will think you are there.

Sound takes shape. Sound enters your ears and takes you gently away to paradise. Calm melodies pace back and forth unconstrained around the room. Emotions flow free in the music. Sorrowful ballads, dark and fragrant fluctuate and shake your heart.

Pure and natural, a soothing wind blows through trees and gently shaking leaves. Slowly you drift into tranquility. The sounds of modern life slip away from memory as your mind returns to its natural state. At the heart of the metropolis, a pool of serenity in the concrete desert. Drink and fill your soul with the music.

FREIGHT
We want the item you buy to arrive in excellent condition. It takes time to carefully pack and ship, so unless you want to pick it up don’t complain that we’re charging  a little bit extra for our time and trouble. THESE SPEAKERS SHIP IN 5 HUGE WOODEN CRATES. Two of which have wheels. Freight costs is about $2000 or more depending upon shipping method, delivery time and destination.

Each speaker shipping crate is approximately 8'x5'x3' and weighs close to 1000lbs loaded. There are two of these. Add to that two 4'x4'x4' woofer crates at about 500lbs each, and the amp crate at 236lbs. And you begin to realize the enormity of the project. Plus it takes at least 2 men about 4 hours to pack the speakers for transport. Plus my time to arrange for the speaker system to be shipped. It cost me $2000 to ship the speakers from Las Vegas to our store in Santa Rosa, hense the estimate. I recommend the buyer to pick the speakers up at the store in a 24' truck with a lift gate.

I encourage the buyer to arrange thier own shipping to ensure that we are not over charging for shipping. Please be aware if you do this you must also arranage for packing the speakers in our store as we will not be responsible for other companies work!
