The flagship of the Academy Series is the grand culmination of the extensive research and development undertaken by Chario Loudspeakers since was founded in 1975. Here are some of the concepts, structures, and principles that have brought us worldwide acclaim: NRS 2π sr / Hyper Exponential Hourglass / Reversed Vertical Array / Silversoft Dome / Rohacell® / Full Apex™ / Polyring / Neodymium / Overlapping Points / WMT™ Alignment / SoundCap®

CREATION NUMBER

CRAFTING A SERENDIPITY REQUIRES MANY SKILLS AND HOURS OF HANDCRAFTING.

Canaletto’s wood is very high required because of its aesthetic qualities, it’s considered a precious wood, because of its physical characteristics, such as elasticity and durability, it makes it a wood suitable for the creation of classic and modern furniture, as well as for the construction of tailor-made pianos.
