Green Mountain Audio's Pico Grande is the largest of the company's new Pico Series of slim towers. A key element to the design is time-coherency, with all of the four driver's output reaching the listener's ear at the same time. The small footprint of this three-way loudspeaker belies the large sound it produces. A 1-inch fabric dome tweeter with its own rear chamber, 5.25" ultra-low mass midrange made of graphite and wood fiber, and a pair of 6.5-inch low-mass Nomex-fiber woofers within their separate chamber describe just some of the designer's intentions. Green Mountain Audio has engineered their Pico Grande to adhere to a tight 47Hz to 20kHz frequency response with a mere +/- 0.75dB deviation. Sensitivity is 89dB/W/m at 5 Ohms with only a +/-1 Ohm variation across the frequency spectrum. As for phase, a shift of only +/- 3 degrees acoustically from 220Hz to 8kHz has been measured and does not shift with varying volume levels.

Edge Electronics' ACF-1 line filter helps to solve one of the biggest problems in some audio/video systems. Specifically, it conquers the presence of unwanted radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) in your home's electric supply. Since most audio equipment is power by a toroidal transformer of some kind, it is very important that the AC line be free of any DC. According to Edge Electronics, "0.1 volts of DC present on the AC line will have adverse effects on the power transformer. We have tested a 1000 VA transformer by introducing 0.1 volt DC to the AC line... and idle current rose to .95 Amps! That is 12 watts versus 114 watts at idle which translates into an almost 10 fold increase in power consumption." In addition, physical noise went from -86dB to -65dB. The ACF-1 line filter addressed these issues.
