AZZOLINA AUDIO
“Can I lend you this pair of horn speakers" asked Emmanuel, my good friend from the Audio industry that has a fine ear. "I'm going to be in the mainland for a while...”
That is the unconventional way in which I came to know about the Hedrons , made by a company located in France, specialising in making horn speakers that are a little out of the ordinary.
This pair, using field coil technology, and with a very elegant French looking enclosure settled in to the Music Room
I realise just how appealing they were when a good friend of mine, Nick, who id already The owner of the most extraordinary audio system, came round for supper and immediately said he wanted a pair!
A happy occasion on a beautiful sunny Saturday in Hong Kong. Nick Sallnow-Smith takes possession of the lovely French horns, the Hedron.
So, the moral of the story is, if you come round to the Audio Evidence music room for some supper bring a check book!!

The term "natural motion" was used in thermionic texts books at the inception of the triode technology and we have brought this back to modern amplifiers.
