Easy on ampliers Because the conductor is essentially a long, thin wire, it presents a purely resis-
tive load to the amplier. This is comparable to the simple test loads that ampli-
er companies use when measuring their ampliers to show how terric they
are. As such, you can be assured that your ampliers will sound and work their
best.
Line source behavior Almost all loudspeakers radiate sound into the room as imperfect “point
sources.” This means that most of the energy they put into the room expands as
an ever-enlarging sphere, as though emerging from a single point in space. This
results in a multitude of reections from the ceiling and oor that can degrade
sound quality.
By contrast, the Sage L75 speakers radiate sound as a “line source.” The sound
moves into the room as an expanding cylinder, rather than as an expanding
sphere — as though from a vertical line suspended in space.
Line source speakers provide two signicant advantages:
• ceiling and oor reections are minimized, resulting in greatly re-
duced interference, letting you hear more of the speaker and less
of the room;
• the sound pressure level (SPL) throughout the room is much
more evenly distributed, making it much easier to set the “right”
volume, no matter where the audience is seated.
To achieve this highly desirable line source behavior, it is essential to have a tall
and slim driver. (Simply stacking multiple “cone & dome” high frequency drivers
does not create a proper line source. Instead, it creates a series of point sources
which end up interfering with each other.) With Wisdom Audio’s planar mag-
