The crossover network's design is both unique and extremely advanced. The circuit utilizes the highest quality components available (Caddock, Cardas, Music Post, and Hovland). The selected transducers are the world famous (and expensive) Dynaudio Esotar D330A tweeters and proprietary ScanSpeak 8545 pulp/carbon fiber mid-bass drivers. There are none finer!

The exceptional sound and test data prove that the VSM is years ahead of its competition. It is one of those rare products that transcends fashion.

Despite its formidable size, Nightingale completely disappears into a spectacular soundstage. The vocal range is lush and 'human' sounding, and the top end is sublime. This speaker is utterly coherent, natural and musical. Nightingale's distinctive appearance flows directly from its function, and is the embodiment of high-end elegance and no nonsense brutality.
