Acelec Model One

The Acelec Model One speakers I'm auditioning are not princesses in pink, or frog green, or made of some chemically distilled poly pudding. Nor are they conventional-beyond-reason MDF boxes covered with stick-on vinyl pretending to be wood. The Model Ones are squat, small, serious-looking, two-way stand mounts. They are 11.2" tall, 7.7" wide, 11.5" deep, and 37.5lb heavy.

My review samples look serious because they are constructed of black, 15mm-thick, internally damped "bituminized aluminum" panels, which, besides being rigid, look full-metal stealth and recording-studio professional. Cees Ruijtenberg of Sonnet Digital Audio-Acelec is a Sonnet Digital Audio brand and Cees is Acelec's chief designer-wrote to me in an email that this well-damped stiffness "avoids ringing and time-smearing with regard to fast, powerful transients." If you don't want black, you can also get silver, and fancier colors available on request.

Years ago, at one of the milestone NYC anniversary parties for Blue Note Records, a piercing voice burst out above the clinking glasses and chattering tongues, loudly declaiming (quoted here with several profanities omitted), \"Blue Note never gave me a dime!\"

Among the many reasons to be grateful for audio shows,' one stands out: They allow me to set reasonable expectations of what components and whole audio systems can or cannot achieve. They have helped me set standards.
