Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review

Vapor hasn't had many professional reviews because we just haven't needed them. But I met Constantine of Dagogo while at Newport Beach, he's an honest guy who struck me as someone I'd like to work with. He was also interested in our products, and suggested talking to Doug Schroeder. After talking to Doug it was obvious how much experience he has, and that I could trust him to be completely truthful in his impressions. That's all we hope for, no politics - just truth. And that's exactly what we received with Doug and Dagogo, my sincere thanks to them!

BTW, since Doug purchased the review pair, you can see them in his system here:

We'll be delivering a pair of Joule White to him after Axpona this year, so watch out for another review.

Happy listening!

All drivers, doesn't matter if they're ceramic, paper, woven angel hair, whatever. They all have their own intrinsic characteristics that they bring to the table. With Accuton drivers they are a very clean, white sound. It's how the designer addresses that and balances things that matter. I personally want some of that through the midrange, it results in a very fast to stop and start kind of sound with no overhang. But too much of it can present like you're listening to music in a doctor's waiting office, not enjoyable. So we balance that fast and illuminated midrange with palpable weight and heft on bottom.

Thanks Rll7x9, I'll be waiting for your call when you convince the significant other :) The 'official' release of the Perfect Storm will be very soon, and it will be very much like you ask about - MTM top section using Joule drivers along with a 15" AudioTech sandwich cone on bottom in a tapered transmission line. Many other tricks up our sleeve, but nothing is being spared.

Bass management on the woofer? Not sure what you mean by that, sounds more like an actively crossed over solution, which we could certainly do if someone wanted. But yes, with a passive crossover that's essentially the job of the crossover.

Need? No, business has been chugging away nicely just due to word of mouth and show coverage. But I met Constantine at Newport Beach and liked him. He's a former 3rd Gen RX-7 owner, which makes him a good guy in my book :) He suggested talking to Doug Schroeder about a review, which I did ... I also really enjoyed talking with Doug and his attitude toward audio and reviewing.

So in short the Dagogo review was a perfect match that fell into my lap. I'm happy it happened, the experience was great and I have some new friends because of it.

Drubin - we will be at both shows. Axpona will feature a new model named Derecho, sort of a smaller/lighter Nimbus. Also will have a Joule White and Cirrus Black at Axpona. Newport Beach we will be showing for the first time our Joule Black.
