KARLOS may be the most compact representative of Lyravox's K-series, yet it is an audiophile giant.

Designed to be the ultimate 2-way system, it has some superlative sonic properties.

The extra large 10" aluminum midwoofer not only reproduces "cinematic" acoustic images, but conveys an immediacy and intimacy that very few audio systems in the world are capable of.

Compared to the best traditional large-cone speakers (typically high-efficiency paper or sandwich cones), KARLOS's aluminum driver adds an extra dose of resolution and articulation, staying closer to the recording with less coloration and clearer vocals.

Bass performance also benefits from the stiffer material. The secret of this driver is its exceptionally low mechanical losses, the often overlooked hallmark of an entire generation of post-war alnico driver legends, which deliver unmatched microdynamics.

Yet it’s the tweeter that sets KARLOS apart. Designed and manufactured specifically for Lyravox by ceramic driver pioneer Accuton, the 30mm inverted ceramic dome tweeter with neodymium magnet is a perfect match for KARLOS’s midwoofer in terms of frequency range, dynamics and sonic properties.

Coupled with a waveguide, this acoustic jewel blends seamlessly into the woofer's frequency range, taking full advantage of the latest DSP technology.

The latter adds a further audiophile leap to the system by removing the lossy physical crossover and introducing time alignment, room equalization and direct amplifier coupling to this fascinating class of loudspeaker.

To top it all off, a top-firing AMT auxiliary tweeter adds ambience, extends the listening area and widens the soundstage.

The result is one of the most engaging musical presentations possible, whether at a whisper or a full-blown concert level, whether classical or hard rock, whether old or new recordings.

KARLOS challenges any single-driver or 2-way audiophile system currently in existence.
