The use of cast iron in the Jern11 has a lot to do with its success but the design and execution are also first class. And let’s face it, there aren’t that many loudspeakers you could use to defend your frigate from pirate incursions. Joking aside, this extraordinarily solid speaker has a speed and immediacy that is enthralling as well as image scale that’s bigger than most, pair it with an adequately powerful and fleet footed amplifier and you have a domestically friendly design that will keep any true music lover happy. What’s perhaps most impressive is that Jern have managed to do this for a sensible price. Check them out but don’t drop them.
