L1 (Linear One) Stand-Mount Speaker Pair

COMING SPRING 2026! The AVA L1 (Linear One) is a high-performance loudspeaker designed for the discerning music lover seeking state-of-the-art performance in a compact and affordable package. The L1 is able to set new standards of performance for a product of this class through meticulous engineering, careful cost/benefit analyses, and extended listening trials. Some of the technical features you'll find in the L1 include: Advanced, low-diffraction baffle. The large, rounded corners found on the L1 cabinet provide a smooth transition between the baffle and sides. This dramatically reduces diffraction-related wave perturbations and results in smoother on and off-axis system response. A high-linearity soft-dome HF driver in a custom waveguide. The combination of the low-diffraction baffle and the directivity control provided by the HF driver's waveguide eliminates most of the diffractive re-radiation of high frequency energy present in conventional systems. The waveguide simultaneously improves the diver's inherent linearity. You'll hear the result as sweeter, more transparent highs, significantly improved imaging, and an elimination of the lower treble roughness that has come to be taken for granted in conventional designs. A high-linearity 170mm (6.7") mid/bass driver with extra-long excursion. The L1's mid/bass driver has a maximum output comparable to many drivers with a much greater diameter but with the midrange performance of a smaller driver. Midrange performance is further enhanced by the mineral loaded polymer matrix cone and optimized rubber surround. High slope, in-phase crossovers. The L1 uses crossovers that are phase-coherent through the crossover region, minimizing changes in frequency response with vertical displacement. Combined with the simple two-driver, two-way topology, this produces the smoothest possible reverberant response and uncolored reproduction in any listening environment. Additionally, the high crossover slopes reduce intermodulation distortion compared to less steep networks. You will hear this as cleaner transients and more transparent sound.
