RibbonSpeakers South Africa are the sole agents for  Newform Research Ribbon Loudspeakers and Sonicaps capacitors in Southern Africa.

What makes Newform Ribbon Loudspeakers special ?

• Very wide horizontal dispersion.
• Monopole design with no back wave to compromise speaker placement in the room.
• Excellent bass extension.
• The speakers present an easy load for amplifiers and do not require expensive powerful amplifiers as in the past to drive them.
• The Newform Ribbons Speakers are capable of reproducing the dynamics and scale usually associated with very expensive high end amplifiers. 
• Phenomenal musicality, detail, immediacy and transparency in sound reproduction.
• The ability to transform from being two audibly left and right speakers to a soundstage spread across the entire width of the room.  
• The modular speaker design is scaleable enabling owners to easily upgrade to higher specked bass enclosures effectively making their Newform Ribbons loudspeaker investment virtually anti-obsolete.
• A very robust ribbon that does not stretch with age. 
• Newform Ribbon Speakers have squeezed the large panel loudspeakers into smaller and more affordable packages.
• Newform Ribbons make it very easy to obtain a synergistic first class sound system.
• Access to high-end-audio is now substantially cheaper.
• Most of the loudspeaker have external crossovers to be completely ready for the wave of digital crossovers-amplifiers-and-equalization that is about to hit South Africa. 
  

Current Models

Newform Research has several models available of which the  -----------------------. The ribbons come in different sizes, with different sensitivities and output capabilities. However, the basic transparency, detail and soundstaging remains consistent from model to model. The smaller models must therefore not be seen as inferior to the larger models as all  the speaker models are designed to maintain their fundamental characteristics of openness and detail whether they are played loudly or softly. The only difference is in their output capabilities.  

The speakers are not designed for a certain price points but to fit an application. Selecting the right ribbon is not just a matter of comparing models but also understanding your listening room requirements and your own personal preferences.   

The speakers' names indicate the size of the bass drivers and the length of the ribbon. For example, R58  refers to a 5" bass unit with a 8" ribbon and R530 refers to a 5" bass driver with a 30" ribbon. 

Sonicaps Capacitors.

Finding good quality and affordable capacitors in South Africa has been problematic and has prompted us to represent the Sonicap range of capacitors in South Africa. These audiophile capacitors are used in all our speakers and can be purchased from us.
