The eFicon and eXemplar Audio Room

John Tucker is the designer of both eFicon loudspeakers and eXemplar Audio components. He brought with him the eFicon F300 loudspeakers with Heil Air Motion tweeters (AMTs) ($16,900/pair), as well as his new top-of-the-line component series.

The turntable was the Artemis Labs SA-1 turntable ($7800) with Schroder Reference SQ tonearm ($5600).

All of the new eXemplar Audio components are chassis within a chassis design with the black material between the inner and outer case being completely non-resonant. The fully balanced WMTS-XP2 preamplifier ($15,000) and matching WMTS-XPH-1 MM phono preamplifier ($6500) are shown here. The phonostage also comes in an MC version - the WMTS-XPH-2 - for the same price.


 

John Tucker also designs the loudspeakers and components for Living Sounds Audio. Here is the Statement tube hybrid integrated amplifier ($10,999). I believe it is a prototype as the production unit has wood trim pieces above and below the glass panel.

The rack and isolation devices were from Stillpoints.
