The Orfeo standmounter – the reference standard of what can be achieved in the world of sound reproduction in a compact two-way form – is the result of a quarter-century experience in speaker development and production.
The uncoloured instrument tonality, the natural coherence of the performance, the large dynamic headroom and the vanishingly low distortion are the basic sound characteristics of the Orfeo. The technology of uncompromising drivers, manufactured in Italy under the AudioBarletta brand, is based on decades of experience with some of the world’s most renowned manufacturers – we have learned from them and moved on, beyond drivers with real world limits, whether mechanical parts, carefully selected membranes, their impregnation or shapes. The goal was just one – perfect reproduction of music from a compact cabinet.
Extremely exceptional are the surface finishes that can withstand the strictest standards of the world of luxury products – meticulous handwork, selected solid wood, carefully and absolutely flawlessly applied varnishes, all to the highest standards.
Under the gorgeous look of Orfeo is hidden all the know-how of Xavian – custom-made drivers or highly sophisticated frequency crossovers that include top class Jantzen and Mundorf components or our very own Fase Zero technology for optimal driver connection
In just one word – reference.

“They are characteristic by the fact that they don´t have any problem anywhere. They play without effect and with kindness. These deserve to be named after the greatest musician of ancient times…”

Andrzej Kisiel, AUDIO – :
Czy coś bym w nich zmienił? Chyba bym spróbował, chociaż ostateczny efekt nie musiałby okazać się wcale lepszy. Góra pasma jest czysta, rozdzielcza, delikatna, słychać dużo detalu, z bardzo dobrym różnicowaniem, przydałoby się więcej blasku – mogłaby zagrać trochę odważniej, po prostu głośniej. Niskie rejestry są tak obfite i bogate, że odrobinę większy udział góry teoretycznie by nie zaszkodził, lecz brzmienie bardziej otworzył, zaktywizował na drugim skraju, w ten sposób jeszcze lepiej zrównoważył; ale praktycznie – nie wiadomo. Może czar by prysł. Lepsze jest wrogiem dobrego, a przecież już jest lepiej niż dobrze. Jest znakomicie, chociaż nigdy nie jest idealnie.
