What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

Avyra Center C5:

  • Positioning: Entry-level center channel speaker designed for home theater systems and dialogue clarity.
  • Description: Features a 2-way design with dual 5.25-inch woofers and a 28mm Acuflex soft dome tweeter for clear dialogue reproduction. Compared to the full-range Avyra speakers, the C5 sacrifices some bass extension and soundstage width but provides focused vocal clarity that the bookshelf and floorstanding models cannot match in a horizontal orientation.

Avyra 622:

  • Positioning: Entry-level bookshelf speakers designed for smaller rooms and budget-conscious listeners.
  • Description: Uses a 2-way design with a 160mm mid/bass driver featuring Morel's Damped Polymer Composite cone and the same 28mm Acuflex tweeter found across the Avyra line. While it shares the balanced sound signature of the larger Avyra 633, the 622 has less bass extension and lower sensitivity, making it better suited for nearfield listening and smaller spaces than the floorstanding models.

Avyra 633:

  • Positioning: Mid-level floorstanding speakers offering full-range performance at an accessible price point.
  • Description: Features a 2.5-way design with dual 160mm drivers and delivers bass down to 25Hz with 89dB sensitivity, making it easier to drive than the 4-ohm Sopran models. Compared to the Sopran series, the 633 offers a more relaxed presentation with slightly less refinement in cabinet construction and driver technology, but provides excellent value with its natural midrange and powerful bass response that the bookshelf 622 cannot match.

Sopran 634:

  • Positioning: High-end floorstanding speakers representing Morel's premium engineering and build quality.
  • Description: Employs a 3-way design with dual 6-inch woofers, 6-inch midrange, and 1.1-inch tweeter, all featuring advanced materials like carbon fiber cones and neodymium magnets. While smaller than the flagship 934, the 634 offers similar driver technology and cabinet construction but with reduced bass extension and power handling.

Sopran 934:

  • Positioning: Flagship model representing the pinnacle of Morel's domestic speaker technology and craftsmanship.
  • Description: Features a 3-way design with dual 9-inch woofers, 6-inch carbon fiber midrange with EVC technology, and 1.1-inch Acuflex tweeter, all housed in a curved MDF cabinet with premium finishes. Compared to all other models in the lineup, the 934 offers the deepest bass extension, highest power handling (300W RMS), and most sophisticated driver technology, delivering an exceptional experience that represents the ultimate achievement in Morel's engineering capabilities.

Our take on the brand

Morel is an Israeli hifi brand that handcrafts speakers with distinctive technologies like External Voice Coil (EVC) systems that place magnetic motors within oversized voice coils up to 3x typical size, and proprietary Hexatech aluminum wire with honeycomb shapes that minimizes air gaps for better thermal efficiency. The company builds all their own drivers in-house with seven quality tests per product, featuring unique designs like "Fat Lady" carbon-fiber cabinets engineered for a "no-box" sound presentation and True point-source coaxial drivers that align tweeters with woofer acoustic centers to avoid typical phase issues.
