Göbel Epoque Fine
Göbel’s aluminium enclosures are not merely elegant pieces of audio sculpture, they feature a distinc-tive take on the �at panel drive unit. They call it a bending wave transducer which int eh case of the new Epoque Fine �oorstander also includes an impulse compensating passive radiator, which I take to be the device on the back of the panel. This carbon �bre driver has a bandwidth of 150Hz to 30kHz and 180 degree dispersion.
What the pictures don’t reveal is that it’s is a full dipole with not only front and rear output from the panel but three 7inch bass drivers on both sides. The Epoque Fine is a 220lb speaker but Göbel was demonstrating the Epoque Reference which has the another six driver bass section above the panel and almost doubles that weight. Yet it’s a system which sounded remarkably open, natural and even dynamic with a string quartet piece.
