Lyravox KARLEMAGNE domesticated. The new Lyravox flagship speaker consists of 10 blocks of solid stone cabinet segments, weighs 380 kg per piece and costs € 368.000 per pair (full diamond version € 685.000). It is a whole new approach to superspeaker design: Lyravox never uses physical crossovers, believing that any speaker will sound superior when driven competently actively instead of passively.
KARLEMAGNE uses a signal processor in front of the eight power amplifiers (of the user’s choice) necessary to directly (through nothing but a plain wire) drive and control each of its world class drivers. Apart from extremely low losses and superlative exactness in crossover and filtering, this system allows total room acoustic adaptation, as well as front end and periphery adaptation. Thanks to the huge recent progress in signal processing and handling in high end audio applications, KARLEMAGNE is set to open a whole new chapter in large-scale, no-compromise mega audio.
