“Well, let’s start by saying that Robert Barlett is to be congratulated on an unusually bold move – he is quite possibly the first to choose the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology in the speaker world for a (more or less) production model, used a boldly simple, completely transparent frequency switch with high-end components, and decided to offer it all to the world for an amount that defies traditional costing formulas, which say it should be three to five times the price. Add to this a beautifully crafted body with a touch of luxury in the best XAVIAN tradition and you have a product that is an unquestionable sonic reference in the basic sense of the word, top of the class (for the logical reasons described above) and a beautiful, fun and yet surprisingly forgiving sonic guide to the world of music. Ellipcitor transducers are fascinating in their ability to convey even the most subtle nuances (which is why you’ll enjoy all your recordings to the fullest), the most minute differences (so that any part of the chain, from electronics to details like feet and pads, transforms the audible result), and dynamic contrasts – the sound is first-rate and thus immediate, explosive, and palpably concrete. And through it all, these fantastic speakers are easy to listen to, actually forgiving and not tiring.The XAVIAN Virtuosa Anniversario is just that, an amazing gift that the brand gave itself (admittedly, with a slight delay) for its quarter-century anniversary. Make yourself happy – at the very least, go hear what the latest reproduction technology can do. Or better yet – take the opportunity to have it at home, because no one and nowhere is likely to offer it this well and at this reasonable price. Bravo!”

“Absolute control, clarity of the whole and the finest detail, lightning-fast response, speed combined with lightness, total fullness of the transmitted bandwidth. All of the aforementioned attributes were carried through the listening test as a breath of pleasant fresh southern air. That is to say, there is a large group of high-end sounding loudspeakers that will give you the vast majority of them, but few absolutely all of them, and certainly not at this price point at this price point, rather at the high end. Bet of Xavian to use without a doubt the highest quality transducers available today combined with uncompromising design switchgear and the overall concept of the loudspeakers has clearly paid off. Their anniversary model is the best demonstration of their abilities and at the same time proof that they know how to deliver a product that can satisfy even the most demanding listener. And we were no exception. The enchantment was so pronounced that on the spot, still in the listening room, my colleague and I came to the decision that the Xavian Virtuosa Anniversario would complete our reference editorial audio lineup. In a custom luxury finish in piano black lacquer. By the time this issue of High&Style is published, we should have them in full working order and dedicated to playing them. We can’t wait to work with them!!!”

“I’m going to be exceptionally personal at the beginning of this review. In this price range, in all my years of testing, I can’t think of any other high-end loudspeakers whose sound has appealed to me so much. The Jubilee Virtuosos have the gift of conveying direct contact with the music. The only condition is the selection of a quality recording where previously unheard details stand out, but where a technically weak one does not improve a single note. The continuous complex sound is transparent, extremely balanced. Tonal neutrality reveals the coloration of each instrument or vocal timbre. The broad musical scene surprises with its depth, the localization of individual instruments is unmistakable. Dynamics are a special chapter; the systems play with ease even when the amplifier is supplied with jagged recordings. The bass always retains body, an energy that lends drive to the music. There is no point in cadging the individual bands, the overall expression is organic. It is not out of place to mention that the systems sound nice and quiet, which is certainly not a given.”
