“Naturalness in everything is good for all.” Hippocrates.
Perla begins a new series of XAVIAN speakers called Natura – naturalness in Italian. We chose this name because we believe that naturalness is the basis for music reproduction. Creating Perla we can prove that we can do the impossible.
Perla is a compact two-ways speaker with front bass-reflex. The cabinet is made of solid Italian walnut with a structure that we call “mosaic”. The magic of Perla catches you at glance: just admire and touch her. Fascination becomes euphoria when she starts playing music. Sophisticated crossover in serie, selected components, simple installation and an exclusive appearance create a recipe that you can not resist.

TIP redakce
Na pražské Audio Video Show měl Xavian plakát s nápisem “Přelom 2015″. Nic menšího si také uvedení dvojice reprosoustav z masivu nezaslouží. Referenční dvoupásmovka Orfeo je takovým bombónkem, ale byla by škoda, kdyby v jejím stínu zůstal nižší model, vlastně ještě dobře zaplatitelný dvoupásmový regálový model Perla. Ten totiž sdílí identické hodnoty a přístup, jako Orfeo, ale v balení “pro každého”… READ MORE…

Der Natur auf der Spur
Italienische Walnuß, massiv, zwei italienische Treiber,solide Anschlüsse und ein Baßreflexport an der Front,
so nimmt unsere Testkandidatin auf den Lautsprecherständern Platz. Perla heißt der neue Zwei-Wege-Monitor
des Herstellers Xavian aus Prag. Und um diese Perla geht es in den folgenden Zeilen. Das Gehäuse der knapp
7 Kilogramm schweren Lautsprecher ist im Mosaikstil aus einzelnen massiven „Walnut“-Elementen zusammengesetzt,
an den Ecken verrundet und handwerklich perfekt verarbeitet. Das ist kein Furnier!… READ MORE…

Roberto Barletta’s Italian origins are widely known. So is his nation’s fondness for fine woods and all things beautiful, however lofty or trite that might sound. Yet I must reiterate it because blunt proof arrived very recently. On the other hand, de gustibus non est disputandum, therefore let’s focus on concretes. Those show that some rather big changes are happening at Xavian – the beginning of something new not connected to employee reduction or similarly sad economic consequences. On the contrary, good things are on the table, all reason for Roberto Barletta to be proud no doubt. His new monitor lineup has quickly gathered press attention and very good reviews. Still, Xavian products have been considered by many, yours truly included, as somewhat DIY in terms of their looks in the past: nice yet a bit blunt and raw. Nonetheless, deeper inspection showed each and every time that speakers from this Czech carpentry shop were well crafted solid products, with obvious attention to detail and that Italian spirit as well. Subjectively, Barletta’s designs aren’t everyone’s cuppa on cosmetics. Yet denying his craftsmanship or design smarts would be unbecoming. Most people having at least one Xavian under their roof would probably agree. Just so, things are changing. Our Italian artisan has developed two new passive monitors in the also new Natura and Epica ranges. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if in the near future we’d see floorstanders, centers and matching subwoofers. This isn’t any official announcement, mind you, just speculation.

Perla sa dla koneserów nie tylko pieknie prezentujacych sie przedmiotów, ale tez brzmienia – wyrafinowanego i smakujacego niczym kolejny lyk wybornego wina.

These compact, wonderfully looking speakers perform, in my honest opinion, remarkably. They don’t… impose their presence on a listener, they don’t try to wow him. What they can do very well is to convey the natural sound of instruments, to create a huge, three-dimensional, essential soundstage. They lack solid bass foundation so the volume of instruments is not that big like from larger loudspeakers, but that’s exactly what one should expect, that’s the “cost” of making compact speakers.
It’s a resonant, rich, mature sound that will work very well whenever one expects a natural sound of high quality in a small room. They are very good at differentiating recordings so a listener may fully enjoy differences between recordings and performances. This is this sort of presentation that never forces you to analyze what you hear – music always comes first and all the rest is given only if you’re interested in hearing it.
