This fall Chane expects to introduce various new high-end loudspeakers in an L series of models. Larger and more deluxe than their A series counterparts, L models raise the performance bar in a styled speaker series in a higher price tier.
What is this thread for? This thread is to compile interest for two of these new models, the L6 center speaker and L7 main floor speakers. Both are medium-large, multiple-driver 3-way designs with superb tech, class-leading quality, and exacting engineering. ( For comparisons, their basic parameters follow below.)
Chane has already enjoyed substantial interest for these models and would like to give prospective users a place to make a tentative reservation. We'd also like to summarize what the L models are under the hood.
How do I get involved? It's simple; if you are genuinely interested in owning the L7 floor speaker or L6 center speaker, simply comment below. To coordinate demand, we'll compile a list of interested readers while we prepare Spring production.

What else? Chane also has a newsletter list. Join it by visiting our front page and simply adding your contact info. We'll add an L series product channel on the main site once we're in production. We only send a newsletter when we have something to announce and you can unsubscribe at any time.
That's it. Below are tables of general specs and features. If you're interested, pop a comment in the thread (and subscribe to the Chane newsletter) and we'll take it from there. Thank you very much for your interest.

How do the A and L series contrast? General comparisons and specifications follow. Note that aside from determining approximate acoustical class, these terms cannot illustrate sound or quality.
What are the fundamental differences? When considering an L model Chane recommends bumping up one speaker class size. As Driver Area and Volume show, the L speaker can run roughly twice the size of an A model, at least when using the comparison above. The larger, more deluxe, and higher-tech L model also costs about twice as much.
What are the key technical differences? Chane long ago pledged to always select real performance advantages over typical production speakers. For our A line we chose XBL2 "SplitGap" midwoofers and complimenting planar tweeter for high dynamic stability in a relatively compact speaker.
With larger models in mind, for the L line we ultimately selected very low reactance driver motors for simply exceptional microdynamic detail and definition while staying natural and musical. Where before SplitGap overcame the size restrictions of the A models, the L models could exploit another driver and design strategy, one aimed at expanding these models into higher and higher definition sound.
We'll add more information in the upcoming L series product channel. For now, you're invited to join and we'll update periodically. (All standard site terms apply.)
