Mordaunt-Short Performance Home Theater Speaker System

Mordaunt-Short is a name I have known about for years but rarely got a chance to hear

. When I learned I'd be receiving their top of the line Performance home theater speaker system for review, I was excited. Mordaunt-Short has been around since the year I was born, 1967, and the Performance line is their state of the art loudspeaker, designed to be equally at home in a high-end two channel rig or a home theater. My review system consisted of a pair of the full range floor standing Performance 6's ($7,500 per pair), the Performance 5 center channel ($2,500), a pair of Performance 2's that can be either mains or surrounds ($4,500 per pair) and a Performance 9 subwoofer ($4,500), bringing the total system price to $19,000.

The Performance line utilizes cabinets made of a polymer resin performance foam that can be formed into any shape and even allows for the density to be determined within levels of the cabinet, with enhances on the cabinet design making it more firm on the outside with better acoustic dampening on the inside. The adaptable nature of the cabinet material allows them to build speakers with shapes not conventionally producible, allowing optimization of performance with super modern aesthetics. Inside, each set of drivers is completely isolated from the others, and the drivers themselves actually mount to the rear of the cabinet on long internal posts. They found this to be the strongest point of attachment and it also seemed to minimize front baffle distortion.

All the drivers are also specially made for these speakers, and starting off at the top, all speakers in the Performance line use the same 25 millimeter aluminum dome tweeter utilizing proprietary Aspirated Tweeter Technology (ATT). This system allows for tuned venting from the rear of the driver through an elongated conical taper that protrudes out the back of each speaker. The taper has ports along its length to free up the diagram and enhance the openness of sound with a sort of dipole effect. The tweeter is isolated from the rest of the cabinet to remove any external vibrations from coloring the high frequency output. The tapered conical shaping of the back of the tweeter is continued on in the spikes and binding posts of the speakers, making for a modern, unified look.
