Waterfall Audio: Innovators of Glass Speaker Technology

What makes Waterfall loudspeakers unique? Everything about them. Established in 1996, Waterfall Audio released the first glass speaker to the French market in 1999. Esthetics, sublime performance, quality materials and innovative technology came together to create an exceptional audio experience. These stunningly good-looking and sweet-sounding products are now distributed all over the world.

Waterfall Audio’s Niagara EVO delivers incredible high fidelity audio reproduction in a uniquely beautiful design. Initially designed as a concept speaker, the Niagara EVO is a showcase of research, development and technical achievement at Waterfall.

The Niagara’s high density glass cabinet is unlike anything else available and blends in with nearly any décor. Its transparent glass gives rooms an open and airy feel. Glass is not only a stately and beautiful material, its thickness and high density provides superior sound reproduction and helps eliminate unwanted vibrations from the loudspeaker’s structure. The Niagara speakers will astound, transforming your interior into a concert hall experience with a detailed, vibrant and naturally open sound, all underpinned by an ultra-low-frequency passive driver in a down-firing position on the solid aluminium base.





Patented Acoustic Damping Tube reduces
distortion, increases power handling

The Ultimate Fusion of Audio and Interior Design

Stunning Diamond Glass

An imposing glass tower of sound, the Niagara stands 3 feet, 11 inches in stunning 3/4-inch thick diamond glass. Different in color from regular glass, diamond glass is an expensive, luxurious material. It’s treated at a much higher temperature than ordinary glass, giving it extra light capturing qualities and greater transparency--a transparency that makes it look like the drivers are floating on air. When you sit down, relax and take in the sheer celebration of music that these evocative glass towers can achieve, you will clearly know it doesn’t get any better.
Diamond glass creates an open, airy feel

Custom Made Drivers

It’s the drivers that will make you feel like you’re floating on air. Two custom designed and built Atohm drivers are located at the front of the speaker. The bottom panel houses an Atohm ultra-low-frequency passive bass driver in a down firing position to extend bass frequencies.

Unique Glass Horn Tweeter

The striking engineered glass horn tweeter goes through more than ten hours of intense machining and hand finishing and has its own detailed crossover for a luminous and expressive sound. It gives the speaker an open, detailed, natural and totally refined high mid-range. This component is so precious that it is packed separately from the main chamber to ensure the ultimate security.

Acoustic Damping Tube Muffles Vibration

Glass is highly dense, preventing the problematic case vibration that occurs with other speaker enclosure materials. However, it is also highly reflective, magnifying the energy generated by drivers. Rather than using damping materials inside the enclosure--and defeating the esthetic purpose of glass speakers--Waterfall Audio developed patented Acoustic Damping Tube (ADT) technology to muffle the energy right from the back of the driver.
Clean, clutter-free design from top to bottom

The ADT is the fundamental element that enables drivers to function properly in the Niagara EVO’s non-damped glass enclosure. Located at the rear of the mid-bass driver, the ADT limits the return of the back wave on the cone. Its integrated damping chamber provides damping control of medium-high frequencies, resulting in superior audio reproduction. The ADT also provides hydraulic damping in the low frequencies to help control excessive movement of the cone, reducing distortion while increasing the speaker’s mechanical power handling abilities. Finally, mechanical uncoupling of the mid-bass driver and the glass enclosure supports audio integrity and prevents mid-range coloration. The ADT delivers quick, crisp bass and exceptionally accurate mid-range reproduction.
The glass horn tweeter makes music come alive

Smooth and Detailed High Frequencies

All Waterfall Audio crossovers and filters are equipped with the finest components, such as air coil and polypropylene capacitors. The Niagara EVO also utilizes Acculinear circuit technology in the tweeter crossover, which provides exceptionally smooth and detailed high frequencies.

Rich Leather Accents

High-quality, hand-stitched Nappa leather houses the Niagara’s base. Noted for its smooth grain, softness and durability, Nappa leather is typically used for high end applications such as designer luggage and luxury car interiors.

Natural Beauty

Named after the magnificent Niagara Falls, the Niagara EVO evokes the same natural beauty. Internal cables are hidden so as not to distract from the clean lines. Designed from the drawing board like a piece of fine art, the Niagara EVO will enhance your home's appearance while blending in with your furnishings.

With that free shipping they almost had my $40,000!... until I realized that diamonds are crystalline carbon based, and glass is amorphous, Si based. Looks like that $40,000 materials engineering degree paid off after all!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, at all..
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2012
I have been purchasing speakers all of my life, and I can tell you that these speakers are not bad at all. They sound great, but not for the money. When you're paying this much money, you are expecting amazing sound. The product looks amazing, but it is still not worth the money.

My Mackie HR8 Studio monitors sound cleaner than these speakers. No doubt. I know a lot about speaker placement, because speaker placement is what makes or breaks the sound quality. At the most ideal conditions, and recommended speaker placement, these speakers didn't come close to what I was expecting to hear. Again, these sound great, and you will not be disappointed, but if you're a sound buff like me, you'll know these speakers aren't worth more than $1000 a pair. The glass on the other hand....now that's a different story. You're paying for the look, the glass, and the labor behind it. That's it....

We all want flat sounding speakers at the end of the day, speakers that don't lie, that are accurate, and very articulate. Studio monitors with a sub will do for me. <---oh, and if you ever get a speaker system, monitors, whatever...don't be cheap about your cables. Whether you're using RCA, 1/4 inch TRS, or XLR cables, always purchase 24k Gold tip, balanced and shielded cables for maximum sonic clarity. Mogami cables are #1

Do not purchase this thinking you're getting the best sound. You're not.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for bathrooms or storage sheds, not so great as a fish tank
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2014
I was shopping for some speakers for my basement bathroom and I ran across these babies. Space is a 6' x 8' room, concrete floors, nearly finished sheet rock. Although most people would not consider this space a bathroom mainly because it has no shower, but since it does have a mop sink, really bout it, and I can take a leak in it I do consider it to be a bathroom. Now on to my review. First think I noticed was lack of sound, this problem was quickly corrected by tech support when they advised me to connect an amp to them, who would have thunk it. Now I have the best amp that the Wall-mart store carried, I used pure copper wire for speaker cables. I had an old dryer and deiced to put the motor winding to good use. This cable is not insulated so the sound isn't distorted in any way. Plastic coated wire will add resistance, and you don't want that my friends. At volume 10 on my 35 watt Colby amp these towers have all kinds of distortion. The highs, well me takin a leak in the plastic mop sink next to them sounds about the same. The mid range, basically non existent. The bass, well lets just say I can produce more about 6 hours after I have been through the Taco Bell drive thru. Before I finished the break in period one of these bad boys got knocked over and shattered. Amazon would not take it back due to the fact it was broken. So I took the speakers out of the good one, dropped in my gold fish and a few plants. The fish looked amazing until I decided to to add the neon light. Turns out I should have not put the charger in the water, who knew a little electric current would harm fish, Oh well. I have ordered 10 more pair of these to make sure I did not get a defective pair. I will update as soon as they come in. I am really hoping I did not waste nearly $620,000.00. I could have put that money to good use, like a large golden egg for the front yard!!! The good speaker I had left is now in my shed. I placed it face down in the rafters, toward the dirt thinking maybe the bass response would be improved. However it was not, tech support said I needed both towers. Ill let you guys know how the next 10 sets work. I am a waiting a 1000 watt Pyle amp to test these with, just for comparison. I would hate to think the Colby I bought was bad to. I mean what is this world coming too!!!

The speakers are great! They go well in my bedroom. The only issue I have is that they take a lot of windex to keep clean. Also the base shattered my bed frame.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2015
I just noticed there are no used ones for sale. There is always that joker who has the most expensive album on the new/used list. Led Zeppelin 4 for like $1900 bucks, just on the odd chance some rich douche trust fund kid might buy it, I think the seller of these speakers us that guy. However at 40 large, I could buy hookers and crack for a year, use my ipod (ok my Zune) and come out feeling like I did just egg screwed, but happier.

3.0 out of 5 stars You are paying for....
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2009
Yo people..Dont get so bent out of shape. You are paying for the diamond glass. The speakers are only $119.00 per pair. I bought a pair of these beauties for my gameroom, and they certainly looked great, but unfortunately they didn't sound any better than my old Cerwin Vega speakers so I sent them back..The company called and gave me a hard time, but eventually I got my monies back. I am an investment banker who has been very lucky with investments and also an audiophile, so I wanted to buy something special just to say that I could actually afford something so outrageously expensive. Again, the speakers sound good, but certainly not worth the price (MY OPINION)..The diamond glass certainly looks great though..
