Bastanis
Prometheus
MKII
The
Prometheus MKII are a highly dynamic (100db/1watt)
speaker system that offer full range sound from
25 to 20,000 hz. They are offered here in a
simple to build kit with all drivers, wiring
and instruction manual, you supply the wood
and labor. They consist of a pair of open baffles
wide bands& hornloaded tweeters with active
powered subs to fill in the bottom end.
Unlike most super efficient speakers the Prometheus
make no excuses, nothing is missing in their
musical presentation! The Prometheus have the
speed and openness of a planer, the dynamics
of large horns and pinpoint imaging of a mini
monitor. The bass is deep, tight and seamless
with dynamics that perfectly match the widebands.
Plus they can light up a large room with a huge
soundstage with as little as 2 watts. The Prometheus
Speakers break all the rules!
The
heart of the Prometheus is the amazing Bastanis
12" "Wideband" driver. The Widebands
plays from 100hz to 10,000hz and have no crossover
network. The specialty treated phenolic tweeter
drivers chime in above 10K and have a single
cap as a crossover. The subs are unique as they
are tuned to 180hz, well above there playing
range. They play from 25hz to around 135 hz
depending on the settings of the Titan bass
amp. Result is phenomenal speed and dynamics
from the 12 inch bass drivers. The active bass
amp(s) are custom made for Bastanis just like
the rest of the drivers that make up the Prometheus
Speaker System.
The
woodworking for the cabinets and the assembly
of the kit can be easily done. A full instruction
manual for building the kit is included. Of
coarse you are free to explore any arrangement
your mind can imagine and many customers have!

The
Bastanis Prometheus MKII received an 6moons.com
Blue moon award
I am clearly gushing over these speakers,
something my Editor and fellow moonies probably
thought they'd never see me do. While I do think
that the Bastanis speakers are truly exceptional,
I need to add an important caveat. More so than
any speaker I've ever had in my possession,
the Bastanis demand the highest-quality, purest,
hot-rodded front end you can muster.

If Prometheus will fit with your
living environment then I wholeheartedly recommend
them. If they don't fit in your environment
or with your marriage then still buy them and
fix the problem. They are that good.

Sonically
however, the Bastanis Prometheus loudspeakers
are wonderful. They engage the whole room. They
create a huge soundstage. They are full-frequency.
They are easy to set up. They have texture,
detail, and air. They are musical and tuneful.
They play very loud and very soft… and
still manage to keep tons of detail, resolution,
dynamic range and full-frequency even at low-medium
volume levels. Horns sound like horns, synths
sound like synths, synth-horns sound like synth-horns.
Drums have an incredible illusion of real kits,
right there, at the end of my room.

The
Prometheus system has an impressive natural
and emotional sound. The greatest asset is the
tonality in the mid-range, that is comparable
to the most expensive and best systems on the
market. The sound is open and subtle, but also
creamy and rich. You don’t listen to a
speaker system, you just enjoy the music, even
when you try to test the limitations with extreme
records.
