The Nugi
These small drivers have the greatest cone to magnet ratio far exceeding that of larger drivers. This accounts for the lifelike timber to percussion and their ease with vocals making larger systems work for their clarity. The drivers center dome is attached directly to the voice coil and accounts for stunning >30khz performance. The surround of he driver is the same “flip-flop” surround as seen on the topline Fostex monitors. It simply all added up to something that we had to put to good use. Reviewers and audiophiles wanted some, so here they are. Handmade of solid wood and veneers, a bit of CNC machining thrown in for accuracy and economy. A 1/3rd scale Abby that works hardto right the scale sonically. Intended for the desktop, and built for a bench top. Use them in the kitchen or office. Already they are finding their way into civilized home theater settings. 6x6x29 inches 35 lbs packed wood crate

The Abbys
Since the Abby speaker’s introduction, the momentum for low-powered refinement has grown. Their simple design has proven impossible to improve upon. The openness and transparency, combined with excellent tonal balance, the high efficiency and dynamics have made the Abby “annoyingly good sounding” as one dealer remarked. This annoyingly good speaker has been driven in systems with analog front ends costing twenty times as much as the Abby. The Abby is designed to be an introduction into high efficiency speaker systems of simple yet refined design, paying tribute to “classic” forms and re-interpreting them with current thinking. The result is that Abby has found its place in audiophile’s hearts and homes worldwide.
The Word on The Abby “The Abby’s are hard to please in matching the right amp to get the right sound. But if you are able to do so, you have something that’s really a pleasure to listen too.
“I also received my Abby’s one week ago and are thoroughly enjoying them. I agree, regardless what listening level they are at the sweetness
and smooth detail comes through.
“I just picked up a pair of Cain & Cain Abby speakers yesterday and they are just wonderful. They work beautifully in my room (12x20x8, with a 10x10x8 "L"), sounding even better here than they did at the dealer’s demo. They sound just great to me.
“I still get amazed by them every day. They’re also easy on the eyes…just frosting on the cake.”
“I have the Abby’s and love them. Best woodwork I’ve ever seen on a speaker. My wife loves their looks too — first speakers she has ever said that about (and I’ve had a lot of different speakers). ”

The rear-firing alnico horn tweeter adds the high end air and information that ultimately brings ease to the presentation. All without destroying the point source sound field that smaller single drivers excel at. It made sense at lower efficiencies, it‘s a monster of an an idea at higher efficiencies.
Adding a sub makes for a full 20-beyond 20khz system at 95db and no=load 8ohm impedance. A flea’s best friend is an enhanced high frequency presentation where low power sometimes suffers. Now it is effortless, and non-irritating. Listening to much costlier tweeters forward is fine. Listening to great lower-cost tweeters in reverse is every bit as satisfying and not at all irritating. While not as high in efficiency, the sound is remarkably similar overall to the larger systems employing hardware costing three to four times more facing forward. Use of the tweeter allows a main driver with a lower natural resonance, extending the low end. The bass is firm, solid and open with low power.
Whizzer-less, and room-filling high end with the same life-size imagery that sounds real. An enlarged soundstage, wider bandwidth and the same always easy on the fleawatter power requirements are arrived at with Super Abby.
Machined and assembled finished to world-class standards in the Pacific Northwest. Wired, tested and packed like an instrument. Already blowing fire in many systems, the Super Abby is winning rave reviews.
The Super Abby is available in all finishes. Options include:
* Maple cabinetry finished all round.
* Exotic woods, unlimited finish options.
* Matching low frequency augmentation systems

Bailey Subwoofer

The Bailey
The Bailey subwoofer is designed to harmonize with our existing products. Bailey fills the need for low frequency reinforcement for our high efficiency-designs. What drives one in the first place to single-driver systems could well be the one-note bass emanating from so many bass systems one encounters. The tactile and colorful sound that bass-only horns provide is the purpose of the Bailey. These are the goals it achieves:
* To provide bass depth to enhance soundstage size and scale.
* To run efficiently on reasonable power without generating heat.
* To integrate with our existing lineup to the point that different room and equipment variations yield consistent results.
* To harmonize tonally, without calling attention to itself.
* To integrate on an aesthetic level of our existing line of products.
* Easy controls, set it and forget it with accuracy.
Technical Information
* SEAS 10” aluminum driver, phase plug, rubber surround
* 87db1w mtr 8ohm
* FS 20hz
* Xmax 7mm
* Max power 125w
