The moment a musical note is struck, sound waves embark on a journey, ricocheting off walls, furniture, and even the listener—each adding their own subtle echo, a resonant footnote, to the original score. The room, it seems, insists on joining the orchestra.
Traditionally, the quest for acoustic clarity has entailed taming those unruly waves by layering the room with expensive acoustic materials. But what if we could silence the room by simply speaking to it differently?

Holography/Soundstage
It’s an acoustic transformation that shifts the listener from the mere consumption of audio to an immersive experience, akin to being physically present at a live performance. This isn’t just sound reproduction; it’s sound re-imagination.
This phenomenon isn’t a mere trick of technology. It’s the culmination of meticulous engineering, a deep understanding of acoustics, and perhaps, a bit of auditory alchemy. The speakers become invisible, and what remains is an immersive sound experience that envelops you. You’re no longer a passive listener; you’re at the center of a musical narrative, as if the musicians are arrayed around you.

The 3.5-way not only looked amazing, thanks to work by a respected Korean product designer, but also sounded great, even within the confines of a hotel conference room. I was particularly struck by the off-axis response. Overall, one of the best-sounding rooms at the show.

These speakers are going to completely change the game.

I left the room impressed with what I heard musically and from Balciunas, bent on writing this article because I had the burning feeling that I needed to point out this speaker to the world so others will know about it, too. In fact, it was my favourite product of Audio Video Show 2022.

Playing Thriller and cranking the volume a good bit these speakers remained calm and collected but still dynamically pleasing! They also look very, very nice! Imaging in the hot seat was excellent and "large-scale". One of my favourite sounding speakers of the day so far.

The first listening session we did showed that the Silent Pound Challenger has special sonic elements that are rare in modern speakers and will surely have a brilliant career in the market.

Suffice to say that on full-bandwidth control of directivity, Silent Pound's Challenger is a very rare example of a speaker which gets it. Even if you never get to hear it, just thinking about how it works should challenge conventional audiophile thinking.

During our listening session, room seemed to multiply in size, as these speakers delivered sound that exceeded the physical boundaries of the space. In addition, they provided refinement and tonal quality—fully deserving of the award of the year.
