Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
We were started in the 80s by two audiophiles: a furniture maker and an English audiophile who took care of the engineering side of things. This combo permeates: Gorgeous Italian cabinetry and a serene, inviting English sound. Beauty and brawn.
We use third party drivers and cabinetry made specifically for us. Why? We laser focus on what we can uniquely do better than anyone else in hifi: integration, aesthetics, and sonics.
Our speakers are forgiving. They can give you detail and dynamics but will retain that beautiful, warm Italian sound that'll be compatible with poorly recorded tracks.

OPERA GRAND MEZZA
- Positioning: A versatile, floor-standing three‐way speaker designed for regular home listening with modest amplifier needs.
- Description: Features a revamped design with reflex loading, dual 5" SEAS woofers, a 5" midrange driver, and a Scanspeak tweeter that delivers balanced performance. Compared to the Seconda and Quinta models, it uses simpler driver configurations and crossover setups, making it a solid choice for smaller rooms and budgets that do not require the advanced features of higher-end systems.
OPERA SECONDA
- Positioning: A flexible speaker system that can operate in either reflex or closed box mode for adaptable listening.
- Description: Uses a custom 7" woofer from Scanspeak with carefully designed crossover circuits and a more rigid cabinet to provide improved midrange clarity and controlled bass. Compared to the Grand Mezza, it offers more robust performance and versatility for both music and home theater applications.
OPERA QUINTA
- Positioning: A three‐way floor‐standing speaker that delivers enhanced sensitivity and clearer sound reproduction.
- Description: Features a new midrange driver and tweeter along with a refined reflex loading design that boosts low‐frequency extension. Relative to the Opera Seconda, it provides a slight upgrade in tonal balance and dynamic range.
CALLAS DIVA
- Positioning: A compact, three‐way speaker aimed at smaller rooms while still offering high-quality acoustic performance.
- Description: Reengineered with an 8" long‐throw woofer, a 7" midrange driver, and dual rear tweeters arranged in a natural dipole configuration to enhance the sense of space. Compared to the Grand Callas, it sacrifices some volume for a reduced cabinet size.
GRAND CALLAS
- Positioning: A flagship speaker system designed to create a precise and three-dimensional sound stage for high-end listening.
- Description: Uses state-of-the-art electroacoustic design, advanced cabinet treatments, and adjustable tonal controls to ensure an engaging and transparent listening experience. When compared to all other models, its superior low-frequency control and premium build quality make it best suited for larger rooms, higher budgets, and users demanding top performance and versatility.

Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
Our ribbon tweeters, especially the coaxial versions used in our Coax and Master Line models, deliver exceptional resolution and spatial imaging. What’s particularly noteworthy is that we have been developing these tweeters entirely in-house for over 40 years – and we still manufacture them by hand at our facility in Horgen, Switzerland. The quality is, in our view, outstanding – not only acoustically, but also in terms of technical precision and minimal unit-to-unit variance.
Our aluminum enclosures, combined with internal damping and sandwich construction, ensure distortion-free performance – even at high volumes – and are a unique feature both acoustically and visually.
What's your approach to customer support?
We generally recommend that customers first reach out to their dealer or national distributor for any questions or issues. These partners are trained and authorized to assist quickly and effectively. In more complex cases – or when customers contact us directly – we are, of course, committed to providing personal and dedicated support.
Additionally, we regularly invite customers to visit our headquarters in Horgen. During these visits – which include a tour of our production and personal consultation – very close relationships have developed, and in some cases, even real friendships have formed. We take pride in maintaining close and reliable contact, even after the purchase.
What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?
- “Queen Mary” – Francine Thirteen: For dynamics and tight bass, excellent at high volume.
- “Liberty” – Anette Askvik: For atmospheric depth and spaciousness.
- “The Headless Horseman” – Bobby Bass: Great for vocals and evaluating seamless transitions between multi-way drivers.
What other products pair best with yours?
We experience excellent synergy with HiFi Rose electronics – both sonically and aesthetically. Setups with T+A or Cambridge Audio also pair beautifully with our speakers. And of course, there are no limits at the high end: just recently, I heard a large Burmester and McIntosh system driving our Coax 811 at a dealer – the result was absolutely stunning.
