In a word, the design philosophy behind Fluid Audio monitors is optimization – as some like to say “solving problems”. As an Engineer, you are always constrained somewhat by a price point you are trying to hit. Our idea is to take each part of the monitor, and see how good we can make it for a given price level. Where we think we’ve succeeded in optimization is in the amplifier, port tube and tweeter wave guide – but most dramatically in the voicing (or sound quality).
