OJAS is the creative pen name of Devon Turnbull. As a university student studying Audio Engineering he started using the name across a variety of disciplines including graffiti, music, graphic design and clothing design. In 2003 Turnbull co-founded the clothing brand Nom de Guerre with Isa Saalabi, Wil Whitney and Holly Harnsongkram. For the next decade, while primarily working in fashion, the name OJAS was kept alive on sound sculptures Turnbull was crafting for himself and a growing number of audio enthusiasts around the world. With a particular interest in high efficiency speakers and low powered tube amplifiers, Ojas audio equipment aims to bring realistic, natural sound to the listener. These products are the result of two decades of experimentation, engineering and explorations in the audio underground.

The Nature of Sound


Sound is considered to be of two kinds, one a vibration of ether the other a vibration of air.
The vibration of ether which cannot be perceived in the physical sense, is considered the principle of all manifestation the basis of all substance the “music of the spheres” it forms permanent numerical patterns which are the basis of the worlds existence, this kind of vibration is not caused by physical shock as are audible sounds. It is therefore called anahata “unstruck”, the other kind of sound is an impermanent vibration of air, an image of the ether vibration. It is audible and always produced by a shock. It is therefore called ahata or “struck”.
Struck sound is said to give pleasure. Unstruck sound leads to liberation (Narada Purana).

This magazine is a re-edited version of the most noteworthy models of large speakers featured in the first and second volumes of "Treasures of Large Speakers" published in 2010.

Among them, JBL's Hartsfield, Paragon, Olympus, Tannoy's Autograph, and Altec Lansing's A7 have long been the envy of veteran audiophiles. On the other hand, Acoustical's Corner Ribbon and Voight's Domestic Corner Horn are rare speakers that are not well known.

This special edition is a careful compilation of these large speakers of the past, which can be called the "world heritage of audio" that audiophiles will want to remember forever.

Each model is accompanied by a beautiful large photograph, and the internal structure of the cabinet is explained in detail with photographs and drawings (some models are accompanied by a table of changes by era that shows what has been changed by era). In addition, the original speakers of each speaker are actually listened to, and the sound quality trends are reported in detail.
