The flagship, LWE-I model was the first commercially available, compact, motional-feedback loudspeaker that successfully extended bass response down to subwoofer territory (20 Hz), while maintaining a nearly flat frequency curve up to 20 kHz. Audio magazine reviewers praised the LWE-I's "marvelously balanced", "open" sound and it's remarkable ability to deliver a "solid, almost palpable" bass, all from a small (for the time) enclosure.

LWE loudspeakers were produced from the mid 1960's through the early 1970's by LW Erath Co., Acoustron Corp., and Precision Acoustics Ltd. CM Labs briefly sold a version of the LWE-I called the CM15 Servosound.

Other LWE speaker models produced include the LWE-II, LWE-III, LWE-IV, LWE-VI, LWE-VII and the giant LWE-VIII.

If you are looking for information about how LWE speakers were connected to stereo amplifiers, you are in the right place. Thanks to some of our most dedicated members we now have a large library of LWE clip kits as well as a clip kit design manaul. Over the years members have contributed much LWE information such as LWE brochures, manuals, specifications, magazine reviews, photos etc...

Most of us have working LWE systems so feel free to ask any questions in the message board or simply introduce yourself and tell us what LWE systems you've heard.
