Geddes Loudspeakers

The Geddes line of loudspeakers is the product of years of intensive research into loudspeakers, room acoustics, and psychoacoustics.  This research has led to a rather unique approach to an optimum sound playback system for a small room. The speakers shown here represent the current state-of-the-art in loudspeaker design using the highly acclaimed waveguides that have been developed by Dr. Geddes over more than thirty years.  A white paper is available that highlights Dr. Geddes approach to systems design. This approach is based on his years of research into the problems of audio playback in small rooms and this paper defines the design principles that go into each of Geddes products.  Dr. Geddes has added a comprehensive paper on directivity.  The need for this paper was highlighted by the number of questions that are received about directivity - What is it? What is good or bad directivity? There is also a paper on "What is a Waveguide". Several reviews of Geddes Loudspeakers are available. These reviews testify to the correctness of Dr. Geddes's unique approach.  It should be noted that these aren't select reviews, taken from a variety of various reviews, these are all of the reviews that have been received. None have been left out. There is a new pricing schedule and the rational for it can be read here.

The Geddes product line currently consists of five models, three are also available in kit form.  This product line is: The Abbey 12a The Nathan 10a The Harper8a The 12" Sub  Polar data program        Requires MS Internet Explorer  (LFs simulated on all but Geddes designs - which use near-field data - so others may not be accurate < 200 Hz.)

Which model to buy? The Summa Cum Laude offered maximum performance but at a considerably higher cost, volume and weight (currently unavailable); the Abbey is less expensive, smaller and much lighter, but gives up very little performance; the Nathan is a substantial performer in a very reasonable size, weight, and cost, and finally the Harper is small, lightweight, and inexpensive and yet maintains much of the superior quality of its heftier siblings.
