highfidelity.pl, poland's leading high-end audio publication, awards the lumen white "kyara" reference monitors their "statement 2017" award, a unique award created especially for the "kyara" monitors due to what "highfidelity" considers a rewrite of loudspeaker performance envelope in such a groundbreaking way, that they considered a new, superior category of award was due to recognize the achievement. before being awarded their "statement" award, the "kyara" reference monitors were the first product ever in the long history of highfidelity to receive their coveted "gold fingerprint" and "big red button" rewards at the same time in 2017.

poland's leading high-end audio magazine highfidelity.pl, esteemed worldwide, selects the lumen white "kyara" reference monitors for its "best products of 2017" listing. in fact, the "kyara" is the first product ever in the long history of the publication to receive their coveted "gold fingerprint" and "big red button" rewards at the same time. from their "best of 2017" editorial:

"lumen white speakers come from a small manufacture whose defining characteristic are unusual housings. known in top high-end circles and highly regarded in Japan, they offer outstanding sound. by using drivers with a ceramic membrane, they are a model of high resolution and precision. the kyara is the latest and at the same time the smallest model which fits smaller rooms. the speakers are able to make music from even poor recordings interesting and to literally enchant listeners with better ones. we do not listen to them as "speakers" but a wide-open window in front of us, with another world on the other side - one of recorded music with its pros and cons, but mostly with its beauty. warning: these speakers require the best possible audio path and do not tolerate imperfections! they are the first audio product in "high fidelity" history to have been awarded the big red button reserved for the best music recordings - it is because the speakers are both an audio product and a musical instrument"

japan`s "analog" high end magazine has reviewed our "kyara" reference monitors concluding that they are "captivating "ear-openers" ... and make other speakers sound dull in comparison". for further details of the review, kindly visit our "review" section.

"While I don`t want to warm up the old analog-versus-digital discussion here again, there is no denying the fact that never before have I heard this fantastic recording reproduced even close to the emotionally gripping, musically fluid and dynamically supercharged way in which the "Mystere" presented it - whatever the digital source, - format and cost involved in those other auditions."

the absolute sound on t.h.e. show at newport 2016 jonathan valin`s best of show:
lumen white intro'd its $70k "white light 15th anniversary" three-way with ceramic drivers driven by ayon xs monos, and the sound was so good I gave it a double exclamation point in my notes. with an extremely wide soundstage with virtually no box coloration (thanks to an "instrument-grade" wood enclosure), it sounded open and natural and fast on an dianne reeves vocal from a wynton marsalis cd (and on marsalis' trumpet).

premieres
the "white light anniversary" reference monitor loudspeakers at the munich high-end
show 2015 celebrating 15 years of innovation in high end audio design.

introduced in 2000, lumen white`s original "white light" reference monitors became instant legends, rated "best in class" (audio art, taiwan), "one of the best audio components of all times" (stereo sound, japan), an "ultimate, absolute reference in every category" (fedelt� del suono, italy), and as offering "sonic realism which may prove impossible to surpass" (h�rerlebnis, germany).

the "white light" reference monitors featured the world`s first all-ceramic driver array, radically advanced pressure- and flow-dynamics optimized, air-damped, instrumentgrade tone-wood cabinets, purist crossover design and further advancements of the art.

5 years in the making, the latest iteration of flow- and pressure-dynamics modelling, a completely new, custom designed driver array and continuous advancements of our signatory loudspeaker technologies have prepared the stage for lumen white to introduce a new generation of our reference monitor speaker designs, the new technology plattform to be premiered in a special "anniversary" model of the iconic "white light" monitors format.

the "white light anniversary" reference monitors premiered in a mythical white macassar finish at the high end 2015 show in munich, together with the latest generation of lumen white`s acclaimed, limited edition "mystere" air bearing turntable system.

cabinet constructed from a new generation of custom made, variable density, multiple tonewoods-derived, instrument-grade plywood. acoustically preferable to synthetic, metal and most solid wood enclosures due to its amorphous energy dissipation behaviour, superior balanced resonance-spectrum and natural psychoacoustic sonic signature.

available in numerous premium veneers and custom lacquer finishes.

latest generation, custom designed, advanced ceramic and ceradome driver array : one 1" ceramic or diamond tweeter, one 5" ceramic mid-range driver, three 7.5" ceradome woofers, physically time-aligned.

all drivers featuring 3d, ideal-acoustic-center dome-geometry, optimized for negligible impulsedelay and energy-storage effects. class-leading, sonically and psycho-accoustically "vanishing" spectrum profile preferable over alternative metal, plastic, polymer-fiber and other high-tech membrane technologies.

novel, next-generation "overhung" motor topology, outperforming prior art, over- and underhung designs, in high linear excursion at significantly reduced distortion when compared to previous ultra-low distortion driver generations and competing high-end transducer designs.

new, advanced, extended cone excursion spider- and surround technologies eliminate the compression artifacts found at the excursion perimeters in alternative designs.

crossover: proprietary, purist, minimal phase design with best resource allocation custom tailoring of both drivers and x-over to the target performance envelope. switchable impedance correction for tube- and solid state amplification.

quotes from the review, which is available for download in our "review"

"for the time i began auditioning the speakers until their imminent return
to the importer, i just couldn't get over the magic created by the ...
lumen white.

the instance I began auditioning the lumen white, it became an experience
few speakers could match..... until the day it was returned to charlie
harrison, the "artisans" turned my every listening session into a festival
of sorts, an eye-opening, three-dimensional and irresistible one.

re-imaging live instruments on stage to the extent accomplished by the
"artisan" was a feat far and few in between, one that nearly made the
listening experience a visual one.

.. lumen white reveals the wide sonic divide between its "artisan" and the
rest of the world.

...among the best in today's market......the technology embedded in the
"artisan" is so unique and visionary that it will continue to be highly
relevant even in five years."

"finally, the best sound i heard in vegas was at t.h.e. show in suite 1006, in the acoustic dreams suite. for some reason (actually for many reasons) this system just clicked. it was not the most precise system i heard in terms of pinpoint focus and ultimate resolving power, although it was certainly very good in those respects. yet, on a sheer emotional level it was able to convey the heart and soul of the music appreciably better than any other system i heard. heck, i could have stayed for hours listening to the blue pearl jem turntable spin vinyl-so seductive and captivating was it's sound.

it was crystal clear to me that all of the fabulous components in this system were carefully measured ingredients in an incredibly synergistic electro-mechanical amalgam. this system had it all, not only because it was aurally glorious, but because it was breathtakingly drop-dead gorgeous to boot! from the curvacious, ebony, lumen white "silver flame" speakers, to the massive, chrome-plated ayon 52b tube monoblocks, to the blue pearl audio jem turntable with its sleek graham phantom arm and lyra titan cartridge, the system just oozed glamour! also onboard were the messenger reference tube preamplifier, and an acoustic dreams 3-shelf isolation rack, series 1.0. if iever hit the lottery, this system could become my final destination."


 


"dave and carol clark of u.s. highend webzine "positive feedback" (www.positive-feedback.com) in their show reports regarding the lumen white equipped rooms:
