Following the creation of the iconic Orfeo model, after a year and a half of work, after eighteen months of careful tuning, we created a classically beautiful Calliope column, built on the same fundamental values that Orfeo honors – luxury from the outside and technological brilliance inside.
The large Calliope enclosures are a true masterpiece, full of detail, where you will appreciate the precise handwork of extremely experienced carpenters. Combined with a stone base, a true luxury object is created, worthy of space in any interior. In addition, the enclosures are designed not only aesthetically, but the comprehensive internal bracing system and multi-layer damping complementary to each other create an ideal environment for the speakers used.
Both AudioBarletta front drives and the massive passive diaphragms of our own brand at the back come from Italy and are designed and manufactured specifically for this model. Magnetic circuits are the largest that can be physically used for given diaphragm diameters.
The frequency crossover combines parallel and serial driver connections, utilizing Fase Zero technology for a perfect connection of the bands and is equipped with the highest quality Mundorf and Jantzen components.
EPIC SOLUTIONS:
- handmade solid oak enclosures, which are worked for several days due to their rugged shapes and extraordinary thickness
- complex internal bracing system for perfect cabinet rigidity
- AudioBarletta drivers custom-made to the highest possible standards and manufactured in Italy with oversized magnetic “motors” and carefully selected diaphragms
- labyrinth working chamber of the tweeter
- all drivers are paired by hand
- short-circuiting copper rings in magnetic systems that make the drives more precise
- technologically advanced crossovers with precision Mundorf and Jantzen components
- exclusive and absolutely unique finishes that stand up to any comparison – especially the premium “marina” finish
- flat reference class frequency response
- extraordinary dynamic headroom
- precise internal damping using several layers of complementary materials
- bi-amping / bi-wiring option
- magnetically attached cover grille
