Eden Products - Why Eden?
Eden loudspeaker enclosures and amplifiers are unique in the Bass amplification market for a number of reasons: 

Eden Electronics is able to blend together in their products a unique combination of disciplines and talents in mechanical engineering, applied physics, musical knowledge, nuances, and fine U.S.A. hand made craftsmanship to produce a truly marvelous and extremely musical product. 

There is actually a great deal of sonic magic in Eden speakers and enclosures as well as some of the most solid engineering in the industry. Because Eden designs and build their own loudspeakers and hi frequency devices, they can make exactly what they need for any given design. Eden designs and engineers all of the individual loudspeakers and all of the enclosures to work well with each other so that the synergy of the overall design is greater than the sum of the parts.

Eden is the only company in the Bass Guitar amplifier market that has this capability. Building the raw drivers gives them tremendous flexibility in both design and manufacturing. More importantly, Eden has total control of the product quality and has internal control over the repair and service considerations. Eden products are designed to never be obsolete or unfixable.

By using much tighter than normal industry standards, Eden is able to get higher performance and better sound quality out of their loudspeakers and hi frequency drivers.

One of the amazing things about great sound quality and tone that good musicians understand inherently, but never really think about on a formal level, is the odd and interesting nuances that make up the unique sound characteristics of their favorite products. This applies to all kinds of things: Mics., Bass Guitars, Speakers, Strings, etc.

Many years ago Eden investigated this and other psycho acoustic phenomena with a number of controlled listening tests. They used a wide variety of people - from expert musicians to people that had no knowledge of music. For one test they built two identical speaker systems and tweaked one to perfectly flat and neutral, with a minimum of dips and peaks. It was a bit louder than the other cabinet (+1 to 2 dB) because of that. The other cabinet they set up as we do most of their cabinets and voiced it to sound good to their ears. The flat cabinet clearly had superior specifications to the second ear voiced box. After running the listening tests they found, much to their initial surprise, that every one liked the uneven, slightly rougher version because it sounded more interesting. This is one of those strange psycho acoustic human factors that make this business so interesting and challenging. All the current wisdom says that everyone should have liked the flatter speaker, which was after all louder. In general listening tests people normally select the loudest speaker as the best sounding.
