Foreword
For several generations inventors and audio enthusiasts have been
experimenting with ways to reproduce sound, or more specifically,
music. The audio industry has progressed from a mesmerizing
discovery, to an accepted form of communication, and now to a
necessity in many homes. Whether we are watching movies or re-
living an exceptional performance, sound and music reproduction has
taken an integral place in our lives.
Unfortunately, in the years since its genesis, loudspeaker design has
often pursued a meandering path. The individuality of a loudspeaker
frequently establishes itself in the form of gimmicks, flavors, and/or
cookbook-style patterns: thus, straying from the goal of “total fidelity
to the source. The heart and soul of the original music has taken a
back seat to intellectual and philosophical interpretation...How much
musical excitement is there in a discussion of “air vs. harmonic
extension”?
Music is intended to be disarmingly joyous

Escalante
Design
We set out to create a technology which would adeptly accommodate
all the styles, moods, and listening levels of today’s audio/video
demands. Additionally, we have made it part of our philosophical
mission to implement earth friendly materials into the manufacturing
of our loudspeakers.
The technology embodied in your Escalante speaker system represents
both an increase in speed and a reduction in intermodulation
distortion. (U.S. Patent: 6,816,598)
This increased speed and lower distortion introduces a whole new level
of
texture
and
dimensionality
, not etched sterility.
Accordingly, our hope is to bring out the essence of the music:
harmonics, timbres, and dynamics that bloom in complete individual
and ensemble character; and resolution, which brings both musical
presence and warmth, not analytical detachment. It is our desire to
help you discover the qualities that will urge you to listen again and
again…this is what sets Escalante Design apart…
...
Believability is what we do.
