ARIA

The flagship floorstanding monitor delivering authoritative scale and intimate Italian musicality.

As the zenith of the Aviator line, the Aria acts as a conduit for pure, unadulterated musical expression. Its imposing stature is matched only by its acoustic sophistication, utilizing a complex modular cabinet design that isolates low-frequency energy to ensure that delicate midrange and high-frequency details remain pristine and undisturbed. At the core of the Aria’s performance is a revolutionary 5-way reversed array configuration, which prioritizes phase coherence and intelligent room interaction. By carefully overlapping crossover ranges rather than relying on conventional cut-off points, the Aria achieves a smooth, unified frequency response that makes the physical presence of the speakers disappear, leaving only the performance itself. The sonic signature is one of effortless authority, marked by a neutrality that neither softens nor exaggerates the recording. With a high sensitivity of 95dB and deep, tactile low-frequency extension, the Aria provides a full-bodied, detail-rich experience that remains engaging and fatigue-free, whether reproducing the intimacy of a solo vocal or the vast, dynamic scale of a full orchestra.

Key Features

01

5-way reversed array

An advanced driver geometry that minimizes room reflections and optimizes phase coherence for a precise, three-dimensional soundstage.

02

Dual-enclosure modular design

The upper and lower cabinets are isolated by proprietary elastomeric dampers to effectively decouple mechanical energy and eliminate resonance.

03

T38 waveguide tweeter

A oversized 38mm soft-dome tweeter that crosses over at an unusually low frequency, ensuring smooth, natural high-frequency dispersion.

04

Full-Apex Rohacell drivers

Precision-engineered midrange and woofer drivers utilizing rigid structural foam and neodymium motors for exceptional speed and transparency.

05

Down-firing subwoofer system

Integrates two 200mm natural fibre subwoofers with NRS technology to provide authoritative, room-filling bass extension.

Chapter 01

Acoustic Architecture

The Aria is built upon the synthesis of psychoacoustic research and electroacoustic precision. Its 5-way architecture replaces the concept of conventional crossover frequencies with overlapping ranges, allowing the transition between the various drivers to be imperceptible and fluid. This design strategy, combined with a top-mounted woofer specifically tasked with spectrum regularization, ensures that the speaker interacts intelligently with any domestic environment.

Chapter 02

Italian Craftsmanship

Each Aria is handcrafted near Milan, featuring a body of solid Italian walnut that has been aged to optimize its acoustic properties. The HDF inner skeleton provides the necessary structural mass, while the external stabilizer outrigger ensures the speaker is decoupled from the floor at the ideal distance, a critical detail that guarantees the accuracy and tightness of the low-frequency response.

Listening Notes

Listening to the Aria is an experience in transparency and scale. It does not merely play music; it sculpts the acoustic space around the listener, revealing the subtle textures of instruments and the spatial cues of the recording venue. The result is a sound that feels alive—breath-like, dynamic, and profoundly intimate—inviting hours of critical listening without the slightest hint of fatigue.
