Scansonic Adds New Floorstander, Standmount and On-wall Options to L and M Speaker Series
Scansonic's L and M series loudspeaker ranges now have more on-wall and floorstanding options.
The L and M Scansonic loudspeaker ranges have been further expanded with the news of new on-wall and larger stand-mounted and floorstanding options.
The Scansonic L series gains the L7 standmount and L14 floorstanders alongside a "true multipurpose" loudspeaker in the shape of the L On-Wall. Additionally, the M series welcomes the M On-Wall "performance" model.
We are told that the L On-Wall is designed to match the rest of the L-series range and shares the same core technology, including a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter combined with a front-ported 4.5-inch Kevlar bass/midrange driver. The 10cm deep, slim enclosure should allow easy placement in a home cinema or stereo setup where space is limited without compromising sound quality. Scansonic adds that it will work well in a 2.1 configuration with a subwoofer.
The new Scansonic L7 and L14 loudspeakers hand you larger options in either standmount (L7) or floorstanding (L14) configurations. The Danish company states that both models sport a 6.5-inch woofer formed of a special paper cone material to achieve the optimum stiffness and damping for the cone size - the L7 gets one, and the L14 gets two.
This is flanked by a high-performance 1-inch silk soft-dome tweeter, while the ported cabinet (front for L7, rear for the L14) has been heavily braced and increased thickness of the walls, mitigating uncontrolled resonances.
Finally, the M On-Wall promises a "very high-quality" sound in an on-wall configuration.
The sealed Kapton/ aluminium ribbon tweeter lends itself to producing a crisp and clear performance combined with its 4.5-inch honeycomb-enforced glass fibre coned woofer further augmented by a downfiring port. This multipurpose, high-performance loudspeaker can be used as rear or stereo speakers in a home cinema and in a 2.1 setup with a subwoofer.
The new loudspeakers are available now with the L On-Wall (€450 per pair), L7 (€690 per pair), and the L14 (€1,690 for a couple) offered in black, white, and walnut finishes. The M On-Wall is in black and white silk mat paint for €825 for a pair.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
