In the HiFi stereo box delivery program from 1990/1991, the 1808 transmission line floorstanding box was the top model. In the imposing housing with a height of 140 cm, two 26 cm woofers, a 13 cm cone midrange driver and a 25 mm fabric dome shared the three paths of the frequency range, which extended from 23 - 25,000 Hz.
The same loudspeaker was also listed as the Aristos TL IV model in WHD's DIY catalog with all construction plans.
Recommended for rooms up to 80 sqm.
Product text from WHD Exclusiv brochure from 1990/91:
"Due to the balance of all tonal ranges, fascinating low-bass reproduction, the exact conveyance of spatiality and the lively-fresh reproduction, the 1808 conveys a listening pleasure that always fascinates anew. WHD thus offers the discerning music lover an impressive stand system that can create a concert hall atmosphere even in large rooms."
