All-new RADIAL4 Technology

At the heart of every loudspeaker is our drive mastery. Through pioneering work in the development of loudspeaker diaphragm material science, we have set a new benchmark with the acclaimed RADIAL4 cone technology: a true revolution in clarity and detail from a loudspeaker drive unit. 

Upgraded Crossover

Each speaker in the XD2 series incorporates a newly refined crossover design, significantly improving the integration between the bass, midrange, and treble for a smoother, more cohesive audio experience. This enhanced crossover allows each frequency range to work in perfect harmony, creating a seamless blend of sound that feels more balanced and natural. The result is a speaker that not only excels in tonal accuracy but also offers greater depth and clarity, immersing listeners in a more lifelike musical experience.

The highest-quality veneers

We meticulously select only the finest, highest-quality veneers to craft our speakers, ensuring each piece not only performs to the highest of standards but also exudes timeless elegance. Each premium veneer is carefully sourced and meticulously inspected, reflecting our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. The result is a speaker that not only delivers exceptional sound but also serves as a visually stunning addition to any listening space.

The Sound of Excellence

Since our creation in 1977, we have been on a quest to build the ultimate loudspeakers. We use the latest testing equipment to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design. Furthermore, our expertly trained production technicians methodically test every part to achieve superlative quality.
