What the heck is this! We thought. No, knowing everything in audioworld is barely possible, trying everything is impossible.... but sometimes you get lucky. Strength! dYNAMiEk! Souplesse. Very organic speakers. Provided, right amp and source. Don't pay attention, don't pass out, you'll be on your snout. Hard on your ears? Then the match is not good. Try as you may! Be sure to read on online, we did.

The Seawave Acoustics AM23 is a loudspeaker that combines craftsmanship and advanced technology. The enclosure is manufactured from a single casting of AC4C aluminum alloy, providing a sturdy and resonance-free structure.
A notable feature is the beryllium supertweeter, which can reproduce frequencies up to 35 kHz. Beryllium is known for its light weight and high rigidity, which contributes to accurate and detailed high-tone reproduction.
The AM23 uses Non-Soldering Technology (NST), in which all electrical connections are made without solder. This reduces signal loss and contributes to pure sound reproduction.
With these features, the Seawave Acoustics AM23 offers a listening experience that is both sophisticated and immersive.

Seawave Acoustics was founded in 2004 in South Korea. The company focuses on the production of acoustic components, with an emphasis on horn loudspeakers. Materials used in their products include birch plywood, bronze and copper alloys. Seawave Acoustics employs traditional techniques, such as hand-applied lacquers and copper joints, combined with CNC precision machining. The manufacturer says it employs lengthy development processes for each model, including researching the resonance properties of materials. Designs are influenced by classical acoustic design and by application of measurements focused on temporal behavior of loudspeakers. Some models feature complex mechanical structures to reduce internal vibrations. The company produces in small batches and within its own facilities. Seawave Acoustics also develops its own components such as compression drivers used in multiple models.
