Opera Grand Mezza v2 - Floorstanding Speakers (PAIR)
Color:Rosewood
Quantity:
The Opera Grand Mezza v2 is the slimmest floorstanding speaker in the Classica line : a two-and-a-half-way solution with a double rear resonator, drivers developed with Scan-Speak, and a reinforced cabinet. Elegant, balanced, and surprisingly expansive, it offers a refined and natural sound, ideal for modern home environments.
The Opera Grand Mezza v2 represents one of the most mature and refined designs in the new Classica line, an elegant and slim floorstanding speaker that combines aesthetics, engineering and musicality with surprising ease. Designed for those seeking high performance without sacrificing design discretion, the Grand Mezza v2 is a two-and-a-half-way speaker featuring an advanced rear-firing bass reflex system based on series resonators, developed to achieve superior depth, extension and control while using medium-diameter drivers.
Cabinet – An advanced structural project
In designing the cabinet, Opera followed the same philosophy as the other models in the V2 series: minimizing internal resonances and coloration caused by vibrations from the vertical walls. The Grand Mezza's slender structure required particularly precise work: the enclosure incorporates two dedicated internal chambers, reinforced with acoustically neutral panels that stiffen the cabinet's critical points without altering its sonic behavior.
The internal wall behind the woofers is sloped at an angle designed to break up standing waves in the midrange, the most sensitive area for vocal and instrumental reproduction. The loading uses a double resonator with series-connected chambers (DCAAV) , a much more advanced solution than traditional bass reflex ports. The advantage is twofold: greater bass extension and a smoother roll-off, as well as a drastic reduction in driver excursion at the most critical frequencies. The presence of high-density polyurethane on the internal surfaces helps further reduce any possible coloration.
Drivers – Evolution and precision
The two 5-inch midwoofers use black anodized aluminum cones, a choice that guarantees rigidity, lightness, and control. Compared to the previous generation, they feature a larger effective diameter, more linear parameters, and improved power management, the result of the collaboration with Scan-Speak and the technological progress of recent years.
The 26mm tweeter, also used in other models in the series, features a soft dome with a reinforced magnetic structure, designed to maintain timbre coherence and openness even at high sound pressure levels. The result is natural tonal balance, clean and defined bass, a rich and articulated midrange, and a sweet yet extremely detailed high register.
Crossover – Apparent simplicity, engineering complexity
The Grand Mezza v2's crossover uses audiophile-quality components and an architecture that includes a dedicated network for the two mid-woofers. Ultra-low-loss inductors prevent unwanted attenuation, preserving micro-detail and naturalness.
The design work wasn't limited to frequency response: careful alignment of the acoustic phase, both on- and off-axis, was carried out to ensure a credible, wide, and layered soundstage. The filter PCB was designed by the Opera team with an optimized layout, maintaining the consistency of the original prototype. The internal wiring uses high-purity copper and generous cross-sections, ensuring maximum respect for the signal.
Design Philosophy – Tradition and Modernity
The Grand Mezza v2 maintains an ideal link to the historic Opera Superpavarotti , a speaker famous for its ability to deliver deep bass and a realistic soundstage despite using relatively small drivers. The philosophy is the same: getting the most out of compact transducers through intelligent loading design, a solid cabinet, and a refined crossover.
Compared to previous models, the v2 is superior in every way: linearity, transparency, dynamics, extension, bass articulation, and fluidity in the midrange. The result is a balanced, refined, and incredibly musical speaker, capable of elegantly adapting to both acoustic music and more energetic genres, even transitioning seamlessly into the front-firing role of a high-end home theater system.
