Of simple luxury and elegance, the timeless Solo is a high performance floorstander. The improved High Resolution cross-over together with the new ceramic mid range and aluminium dome tweeter deliver a sonic picture that is open, detailed and controlled. Furthermore, the clean lines and smooth curves are not merely for the eye. Tall floorstanders suffer fomt internal standing waves around 150Hz. The tapered Solo cabinet eliminates these, ultimately leading to a cleaner and faster bass response. The Solo is handbuild in Denmark and the retail price is € 6300,- per pair incl. VAT.

Systematic investigations in our controlled listening room have led to a new 24dB/oct Linkwitz-Riley cross-over and tweeter acoustic lens for an improved room response. The increased efficiency of the new midrange driver, the accurate pistonic tweeter behavior and further refined bass tuning are making the Solo HR a precisely orchestrated and mature loudspeaker. The Solo HR delivers your music with just that little more texture for guaranteed shivers.
Just like the acoustic design, the Solo represents the latest in cabinet construction. Enhanced computer aided design (CAD) capabilities have made it possible to create a unique design that takes wood bending to the next level. Through bending and twisting, the side panels are stiffer and more irregular. Both enhancements improve the acoustic properties leading to a cleaner sound. A typical example of form follows function.
Most manufacturers shy away from using bend plywood for loudspeaker cabinets. Which is understandable because it may twist and turn in undesired directions, making accurate machining of parts and final assembly difficult. This is not critical in the typical application in furniture. Speaker cabinet construction is a whole other matter though. The production of Solo would not have been possible without our committed design and the extra care of hand build production.
