Rhapsody
Rhapsody means a piece
of music of unusual form. We at Theophany are very proud of the Rhapsody and
its unique form. The design and development of the Rhapsody took over a year as
we worked to build a truly remarkable three dimensional product with no
parallel surfaces.
There are several
principles behind the design that are critical in true High Fidelity speaker
construction.
A conical shape is by
its very nature isolating with regard to cabinet vibrations. Because any
vibration naturally dissipates no harmonic resonance is able to develop in the
body of the cabinet. This means music is more real and engaging.
The shape also means
air resonance is defeated. The conical internal shape isolates and almost
prevents air resonance in the chamber. This means the output is very neutral
and bass is very tight and accurate.
The other benefit of
having the tapered form is that every driver is very close to the edge of the
cabinet. This means that a front edge standing wave is almost non-existent. The
benefit of this is three fold. Tighter cleaner bass response, more detailed and
accurate mid-range performance and better imaging such that the sound stage is
very expansive and three dimensional.
The Rhapsodies have
been designed with HiFi in mind however this in no way restricts their use. The
Rhapsodies paired with the Psuche Lalia, Psuche Kathar’s and Psuche Kratos make
one of the best home theatres on the market today.
The Rhapsodies utilise
two of our new fibre glass cone low frequency 6” woofers. Two of our compound
paper 5” midrange woofers and our silk dome tweeter. Extending from 28hz to
over 40khz they are a truly exciting, dynamic and impressive speaker.
