THE MONTANA XP

THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

Known as the "light heavyweight champ" The
Montana XP is made of the very best materials
available. The cabinet materials, the drivers, the
cross-over components, the wiring and the
dampening materials are selected for their sonic
merits and construction quality. Nothing but the
best could be tolerated for this limited edition, unique
loudspeaker.

THE CABINET

Elegant, slim, solid as a rock.

The cabinet is shaped like an asymmetrical hexagon, and the internal
mid-range and mid-bass cabinets are triangular in shape. There are
several advantages to this construction method: 1) no parallel surfaces
within the cabinet which eliminates standing waves that would
otherwise create distortion, and 2) no multiple board within the cabinet
will have the same resonance frequency, effectively eliminating
amplified resonance vibrations from the cabi net.

To even further eliminate unwanted
distorting vibrations from the cabinet, i t
has been reinforced with nothing less
than seven internal peri-metrical braces.
This produces a clean more detailed
sound.

THE WOOFERS

Well-defined and fast.

The XP utilizes two custom made 10" Vifa
M26-WR-Montana-08 woofers per
cabinet. This driver is made with a new
long stroke, ultra low reflection
magnesium basket, with six carrying
arms. It has an extremely stiff conical
paper cone attached to the basket with a
very low damping, specially formulated,
rubber surround. All of the above
guarantees that you will enjoy a deep,
well defined, fast and vigorous bass from
the XP.

THE MONTANA XP

THE MID-BASS DRIVERS

Perfect tonality and in total control.

A special 7" mid -b ass d r iver has been created for the XP - the Vifa
M18WH-Montana-08. The M18 features the same long stroke, low
reflection basket type as the woofers. It is built with an ultra low
distortion vented motor system that is perfectly matched to the 1 inch
voice coil driving the light, doped paper cone.

The M18 has a concave dust cap that eliminates any unwanted low­midrange glare and a linear/low loss suspension for dynamics and
speed. These drivers are responsible for the very tight punch in
electrical music as w ell as the perfect wooden over-tones recreated
when enjoying acoustical music from the XP .

THE MID-RANGE DRIVERS:

Clear as crystal, strong as steel.

The 4" ScanSpeak 13M8-Montana mid-range drivers have remarkably
low distortion figure and transient capability from using Kevlar cones.
This driver has a newly dev eloped magnet motor system with extreme
magnetic flux in the air gap. It utilizes ScanSpeak’s patented
symmetrical drive, along with a symmetrical lathed, vented pole piece,
mounted to an unusually heavy die cast magnesium basket. On top of
the extremely light aluminum voice coil f orm er and w ire, we had
ScanSpeak mount their 38mm fabric dome to ensure the most logical
transformation of the movements from the voice coil to the dome and
cone. The 13M has a long-throw excursion capability that will ensure
clarity, balance and detail of outstanding qualities.

THE TWEETER

High efficiency and outstanding transient capabilities.

The XP tweeter is the same custom made Scanspeak/Montata Revelator
used in our flagship loudspeaker the Montata WAS. The specially hand
made 1 inch dome features a newly developed magnet system with SD
copper caps and rings that eliminates electrical phase shift. Special ly
designed chambers minimize the air noise and compression allowing for
a faster more detailed sound.

You will hear nothing but the most accurate, detailed musical highs
from the XP because of this unique combination of engineering, material
selection and care used when making this tweeter.
