Major

This is not a marketing legend: it is a documented story, where the Lockwood Major was an instrument, not just a backdrop. Today, this speaker is manufactured according to the original 1960s drawings - by hand, in the UK, without compromise.

The Major is the largest and heaviest Lockwood speaker in the current range: 710 mm wide, 54 kilograms per cabinet. The wide baffle is not an accident or a tribute to vintage aesthetics: it forms a natural sound pattern, minimizes diffraction at the edges and gives the midrange a space that narrow modern designs simply cannot offer.

The phase-reversed cabinet made of 18 mm birch plywood is tuned to reproduce from 22 Hz - this is the lower limit that not every subwoofer can reproduce correctly. The bass here is tight, controlled and at the same time voluminous: not a "buzz", but a real physical presence of sound.

The 15-inch Lockwood Green HPD/SL with an alnico magnet is the common heart of the entire flagship line, but in the Major it gets the largest acoustic volume and the widest baffle for disclosure. The coaxial "point source" design provides linear phase throughout the range: voice, instruments, space - everything is exactly where the sound engineer put it. 95 dB sensitivity allows the Major to play at full power even from an entry-level tube amplifier.

In 1968, Abbey Road studio manager Allen Stagg replaced all of his studio monitors with Lockwoods, and they instantly became the industry standard. Over the next decade, these speakers would go on to create mixes that would become part of world culture. The Major doesn’t try to be like those monitors—it’s their direct descendant, built to the same principles and by the same hands.
