We are a small family run business started in rural Wales UK 40 years ago by Fred Davies, who has been designing and manufacturing concrete horn speakers his whole life. We have made many things from built-in audio room radiators to the pedal powered PA at Glastonbury. We have been kept busy on our work with moulds and castings and have made many OEM products for hi-fi, PA and other fields. Fred’s background in construction, design and years of experience in casting techniques with cement and plastics, along with our craft and skill with largely hand-made products has given us the opportunity to develop a revolutionary loudspeaker.
We first introduced a free-standing AXJET in 1992. In the last ten years we have developed the new AXJET and the recent AX SUPERJET to the point where they are performing in the audiophile domain of pure sonic reproduction whilst having PA levels of power, making them incredibly versatile. Our aspirations to achieve a near perfect point-source, single driver, compound horn speaker are now vindicated after many years of toil!
AXJET speakers are incredibly efficient compound horns. A single full-range AER driver from Stuttgart powers both the rear bass horn and the top/mid horns in the silver “afterburner”.

AXJETS use variable density PU foams and GRC encased in GRP to give stiffness and appropriate densities to allow the full-range AER driver to reproduce audio signals with very low inter-modulation distortion and remarkable transient response.

With no cross-over and OFC Atlas cables inside and out plus solid copper connectors, the load for the amplifier is easy and the AXJET can reach high SPLs even with a 3W triode amplifier.
