I was gripped once more by the coherence of these speakers: they let you hear what is creating the sound such as the sliding of fingers on the neck of a double bass but bring out the heart and soul of the song.
Combining elements from the EKSTRA and the prestige ULTIMATUM XL6 Model, the Orkestra is a 2.5 way design incorporating a 75mm true ribbon tweeter, and three 170mm main drive units.
For a full range loudspeaker, the ORKESTRA has a very small footprint and can be easily accommodated in compact spaces. Combining stunning bass power with delicacy, it delivers a comprehensive depiction of all types of music.
The upper section houses the ribbon tweeter and a 170mm drive unit handling bass and midrange, thus acting as a sealed 2-way speaker in its own right.
This is sealed off from the lower section, which features two downward-facing 170mm drive units in iso-baric configuration, handling only the very low bass frequencies as if it were an integrated subwoofer.
The crossover is a minimal design, employing 1st & 2nd order slopes. The crossover components are all hard-wired, with point-to-point connections in order to maximise integrity. The crossover components are of premium audiophile quality and include high voltage polypropylene capacitors and low loss air-cored inductors.
