ASCILAB A6B Passive version.
AsciLAB are a newly formed loudspeaker manufacturer based in South Korea.
The first first examples of their C6B and F6B/S have arrived!
From the very outset the company decided to purchase their own Klippel NFS ( Klippel Near Field Scanner) which are hardly inexpensive!.
Their designs are entirely measurement led and the Klippel makes designing and prototyping not only quicker bur much more accurate, exemplary measurements means truly transparent sound.
AsciILAB (Acoustical science Laboratories) loudspeakers are based on actual science, research and measurement rather then marketing.
Best of all they aren't aimed at the 'oligarch' market, when a customer asks, what is the finest affordable loudspeaker' I can now answer AsciLAB.
The first delivery has arrived and they have exceeded my expectations.

We now have the C6B and F6B in both Matt White and Matt Black.
I have listened to both today and they are simply phenomenal, I knew from their measurements they would be transparent, but I didn't expect the punch and bass extension from two way loudspeakers albeit with passive radiators.
They are a joy to listen to, build quality is exceptional, the enclosures could easily be 'milled from solid aluminium' rather than their actual high pressure formed MDF.
I wouldn't have believed an £800 loudspeaker could sound this good, they have a clarity that I have only previously experienced from much, much more expensive contemporary active designs.
I can only imagine how the larger forthcoming AsciLAB deigns must sound, but I won't have to wait long to find out!

AsciLAB the future of loudspeaker design.
AsciLAB 'standard' colours are matt black and matt white, metallic and 'modern' grey to special order, waveguides are available in a variety of colours again to special order.
Grills available in black and white, above F6B in Matt Black.
AsciLAB F6B/F6BS, ('S' is the sealed enclosure version) 6" fibre cone woofer,1" aluminium dome tweeter, 5x8" passive radiator.
Their sound is simply phenomenal, clarity, punch and extension from a compact 2.5 way design.
AsciLAB standard colours are Matt White and Matt Black, 'Metallic and 'Modern' grey to speial order, waveguides are available in a variety of colours ( see above) again to special order. Pictured above AsciLAB's C6B left aluminium-ceramic woofer and aluminium-ceramic tweeter and F6B right, 6" fibre cone woofer, 1" aluminium dome tweeter, 5x8" passive radiator.
Having now been able to listen to both these designs at length, I can confirm that they are both simply superb loudspeakers, they have everything, outperforming much more expensive designs even loudspeakers which I had previously considered my 'reference'.
Upcoming the all Purifi A6B see photograph on left.
Which consists of a 6.5" Purifi Aluminium woofer, the new SB Acoustics 1.3" dome tweeter housed in a custom waveguide and two 6.5" Purifi passive radiators .
It will be the ultimate implementation of Purifi's driver designs.
Preliminary measurements are, as one would expect from AsciLAB state of the art.

The material for the loudspeaker's enclosure is extreme high pressure formed MDF which is two to three times more effective atvibration absorption than traditional MDF/HDF.
Every decision has been measurement led, to produce the finest measuring loudspeakers currently available.
