CS3

The award winning CS3 re-calibrates the standard of expectation in its $3000/pr price category.

It shares the same precision 12 inch coaxial drive assembly with the CS2.3 and offers unparalleled insight into the recording venue in the best tradition of Emerald Physics' DSP controlled, open-baffle design technology. The high efficiency, point-source transducer with time-aligned compression tweeter creates a vivid and realistically dynamic sonic picture of the music, with world-class imaging and soundstage reproduction. Affordable Audio's Lorin Elias had this say about the CS3:

"They image better than anything I have heard (including floorstanders that retail for $40K), they are relatively easy to drive (95 dB), flexible about placement, and they make most any other speaker sound "lifeless" in comparison." LINK TO REVIEW

The CS3's small size, easy room integration and single amp drive greatly simplify installation. A pre-programmed, digital signal processor is included.

REVIEWS

Emerald Physics CS3 Loudspeaker System ($2,995.00/pair): After only a couple weeks into our relationship, I was smitten by these rather unusual visitors from the future. The CS3 is the apartment-friendly baby of the Underwood Hi Fi managed/owned EP line, and consists of two flat panel speakers employing very high efficiency, large, concentric drivers, whose power handling stats fall just shy of Metallica’s touring rig. The system is designed to be used with a sub – kind of a must, as the main speaks hit bottom at about 70Hz or so. So now we’re talking ultra-high efficiency, super high power handling, large concentric drivers paired with a separate sub??!! Sounds like a mismatch in the making, right? And it would be—if you, my friend, were controlling how it all blends. Thing is, you aren’t. See, the crossover is external and completely digital and this processor also improves tremendously upon the system’s measured in-room performance, allowing for astonishingly flat in-room frequency response and ease of placement that would make a table radio jealous. But it all wouldn’t matter if… this system didn’t deliver punishing dynamics, the best imaging I may ever have heard from a pair of loudspeakers (it’s really uncanny at times!) and lightning quick pace. Yep—the computer-aided perfection extends to the tonality as well, making this system among the most amazing speaker systems I have yet to hear. Oh—I should probably add—at any price.
