All About Jazz at the 2019 Montréal Audio Fest: Part 3-7. Featuring Christian Ouellet of Solen.


Duration: 8:15

The third installment of All About Jazz's coverage of the 32nd annual Montréal Audio Fest, a spectacular event spotlighting over 300 manufacturers and distributors of high-end audio/video systems ranging from $1,000 to $1,000,000. Follow host John Kelman as he interviews representatives from several Canadian manufacturers and engages in some listening sessions with their equipment.

Episode 3: John interviews Christian Ouellet, President of St Hubert-based company, Solen. Amongst other internal components, Solen manufactures "the highest performance loudspeaker crossover parts available" and "the highest quality speaker driver units that you can find," used by a plethora of well-known speaker manufacturers including Totem, Yamaha, Paradigm and others, in systems across the pricing spectrum.

Christian explains, amongst other things, the difference between various tweeters and why most quality speaker companies have moved to cabinetry with no parallel lines.

The listening session employs Solen's top-of-the-line "The Ultimate Experience" four-way speakers, driven by electronics from Bryston, who will be interviewed later in the week and whose many products are distributed by Solen.
