Overview

SB Acoustics Bromo 2-Way Speaker Kit - Pair

SB Acoustics Bromo 2-Way Speaker Kit - Pair

Bromo is taken from an active volcano in East Java, Indonesia. The name Bromo is derived from a word in Javanese: pronunciation of Brahma, The Hindu creator of God. It is a 2-way ported speaker with hard material drivers including the SB17CAC35-4 woofer. Ceramic provides a very hard and robust surface with improved sonic properties and cosmetic appearance. The SB26CDC-C000-4 tweeter combines the exceptional detail of a metal dome with the smoothness and non-fatiguing characteristic of ceramic. Experience superb high-frequency extension and authoritative mid-bass reproduction.

The drivers are known for very high performance, low distortion and unique price-performance ratio. The NBAC (aluminum) mid/woofers and CAC (ceramic) woofers can be both used with the same crossover designed for this kit. Tweeters ADC (aluminum) and CDC (ceramic) are also interchangeable. Though the specs are similar, both setups are audibly different. The ceramic set is subjective step up form a relatively small difference in price.

This is a hard cone/dome kit but without the typical ‘issues’ as audible breakups of the mid-woofer and the tweeter never get too harsh for the ears. The speaker is detailed and more ‘punchy’ than what was expected from this cabinet size, while displaying a noticable lack of coloration. A demo was done at Axpona Show 2019 & 2023 in Chicago and we received huge positive feedback.

SB Acoustics has developed, built, tested, listened, and are proud of this kits performance. All development details are available on the SB Acoustics website.

This is the HiFi deal of the year

Reviewed by DGqtvs on 07/30/2023

I bought these with the ESA capacitor upgrade and the cabinet. Change over $700 with free shipping. Everything arrived in a few days. Assembly was relatively simple. The cabinets look great, have grills if I ever need them, and are very solid with an internal brace. 30 hours to break in the drivers and adjust my ears and these are amazing. Extremely clear vocals, great vocal and instrument separation, surprisingly good bass, sound great soft or loud. These pull the performance into the room. Old recordings sound like old recordings but not bad and still really enjoyable. Highs are clean and with less tizz, or whatever it is I don't like, than the $110 soft domes in the speaker kit by an established designer. I will probably add a sub or 2 as some point, but the low end is still improving. I have already packed up the KEF LS-50's and now working to pull the boxes for the Wharfedale Lintons out of the attic. The sound is not even close. Both are now for sale.
