Medea

Un´amore estremo

 

The ultimate two-way solution, born out of a desire to build the best possible today.

Medea stand-mounted loudspeakers are the realization of all our knowledge, experience, desire to create and the will to create the best that can be assembled from the technologies available today. The latest generation of transducers – the ultimate Scan-Speak Ellipticor – has created a two-way system with unparalleled integrity, clarity and musicality, with the ability to play music with extraordinary fidelity and emotion. The Medea project was not limited by anything. The goal was to achieve an authentic XAVIAN solution at the highest standard that the stand-mounted concept allows. With our Medea, you can boldly venture into the deepest layers of your favourite music and hear it like never before, thanks to the fantastic resolution and large sound proportions.

Along with the Medea, an equally unique stand was created to complement its confident aesthetic. We chose slightly eccentric proportions and style, the product of an extremely laborious manufacturing process, to not only ensure completely optimal working conditions, but also to underline the uniqueness of the whole solution.

1 review for Medea

  1. :

    “It seems that betting on the latest generation of Ellipticor drivers is necessarily a choice for success. After the beautiful Virtuosa Anniversario, XAVIAN built the compact (though still boldly large by two-way standmount standards) Medea, and these are perhaps even better to listen to. Perhaps it’s the even simpler crossover and more focused radiation, but it’s a breathtakingly open, clean, fantastically detailed, but most importantly, supremely fast and specific sound. Along with perfect transparency, you just get what you drop into the Medea, except perhaps in the lowest octave. The Ellipticor are not “meaty” either, but the music is all the more vivid and immediate for it. You might think that three hundred thousand (Czech crowns) for a stand-mounted model with two transducers is a lot, but when you consider the robust cabinet, super-expensive drivers and, most importantly, the Ellipticor’s perhaps unrivalled sonic performance, you are presented with a fascinating teleport leading to the heart of the music, in which everything can be heard. XAVIAN Medea are a pearl not only of the Czech, but also of the world high-end. Bravo!”
