This line wouldn’t have classical looks or use classical technical decisions. It would be extravagant and represent their vision in speaker quality standards for any new range that would come after it and give a leading tone to their speaker design as well as differentiate itself among all others.  Mission accomplished.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pinnacle of all AudioSolutions products, the modern Vantage Series evolved from the original Vantage Classic. The differences are found not only in the outer looks with completely fresh lines and outlines, but also with the choice of manufacturing materials, technique, and the overall evolution of designing such a complicated loudspeaker; evident in this arrangement of many components working in perfect harmony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Vantage is designed to be much more rigid in construction compared to any previous models AudioSolutions has produced.  Siberian Birch Plywood (SBP) is used for the internal labyrinth structure as well as for the sidewalls and curved top. Siberian Birch grows much slower than simple birch, thus making it much denser and tighter. The entire structure is modeled with the best software available for resonance free surfaces.  In fact, the properties of this cabinet using SBP results in structure with properties better than aluminum. Due to many bent surfaces, plywood has some internal stress leftover which damps any resonance with ease. This technique of leaving some stress in the materials was used by AudioSolutions from the very beginning. Step by step this technique was developed into what they manufacture today: an 18-layer sandwich of thin rectangular orientated wood sheets along with some High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) in critical layers glued together with three types of glue differing in hardness when cured.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA bookshelf speaker which can't be used as bookshelf speaker because of a down firing woofer; sounds like nonsense, right? Some might even suggest that having the Vantage B is the same as having the Vantage S because the woofer size is the same. They would be wrong. While the Vantage B uses an 8\" woofer, the Vantage S uses an 8\" SUBwoofer.  Plus, the Vantage B lacks a front firing woofer.  Then why even have the Vantage B when you could use the Vantage S with more drivers?  Simple. The Vantage B is much closer to a point source application and is designed for environments where the listening distance is critically short, but where one still seeks the full-scale full-band performance of the AudioSolutions flagship product. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-section-content open\" id=\"accordion-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned around a 6” wideband midrange driver and supported by a customized beryllium tweeter, accompanied by an 8\" down firing paper cone woofer.
