The new standmount loudspeakers from the Czech firm, dubbed Premio Esclusivo, borrows from the Epica range as well as offering a smaller footprint, higher sensitivity and easier placement in smaller spaces. This is thanks, in part, to the front twin reflex port.
Additionally, the sophisticated system of inner damping allows the Italian custom-made AudioBarletta drivers to work as accurately and as clean as possible, according to Xavian.
As the new flagship of the Natura series, the Premio Esclusivo boasts "extraordinary natural materials, sophisticated technologies and exclusive handicraft".
The result of that, they say, is "to make your music sound with unprecedented purity and naturalness that has no competition in its price tag."
Custom AudioBarletta Drivers
The AudioBarletta 175 mm mid/bass driver features a special impregnated paper membrane, die-cast chassis, extreme magnetic motor, extreme excursion, that apparently adds up to "extreme frequency response". Also, there is a high copper short-circuiting ring on the central pole piece and an aluminium plug in the sandwich voice coil.
The 29 mm AudioBarletta tweeter is an impregnated soft-dome unit with a powerful copper ring in motor fitted with an "extreme ceramic magnet", working labyrinth, and die-cast chassis with controlled dispersion.
Mundorf Crossover
The two-way system features a Fase Zero crossover (drivers connected in series) using precision Mundorf capacitors and resistors.
All of that tech is housed in solid oak cabinets measuring 23 mm thick with magnetically affixed grilles.
Finally, Xavian states that the Premio Esclusivo possesses extremely low distortion and absolute phase coherence which makes them the perfect studio monitor.
