Javari is a high performance loudspeaker system that can be configured for different situations:

The heart of the Javari is a compact speaker which transforms into the high-midrange component of XL and XXL floor-standing configurations. A high efficiency Alcone AC 15 textile dome tweeter is paried with a Celestion FTR08-2011D, giving an astoundingly high overall efficiency of 93 dB.

Due to its high efficiency the Javari is a lot of fun to use, whether it is controlled by a tube amplifier or the broad dynamic range required for the home cinema.

For the Javari XXL Tower, the Javari Top is accompanied by two subwoofer columns, each of one contains an Alcone AC 10 subwoofer driver.

The Javari Top uses a crossover of 2nd order (12 dB per octave slope). In this setup, the Javari top gets a first-order high-pass filter with large capacitors, the subwoofers are filtered via a second-order low-pass.

The frequency response of the speaker is quite linear with a slight peak at 12 kHz. At an average sound pressure level of 85 dB (1m), the non-linear distortions above 400 Hz are extremely low. At 95 dB SPL (1m) these distortions still are well controlled. The decay spectrum shows almost no irregularities except for some resonances around 500 Hz.

An excerpt from the Klang+Ton review

"In a small listening room the Javari Top plays fully satisfactory, even with a small-power SE tube amplifier we had a joyful listening experience - especially when we added the active subwoofer box and the tube amp only had to drive the satellite speaker above 150Hz. This combination seems ideal for people with single-ended amps willing to forget about tube amp purism and wanting to enjoy the superior sound of their electronics without their listening room crammed with huge horns. The Javari delivers a well-balanced and relaxed sound impression, only to surprise the listener with their explosive dynamics. The most saturated sound comes from the passive XXL floor-standing Javari – of course driven by a powerful amplifier with sufficient damping factor. For accurately adjusting the active subwoofer you need a sensitive hand - but for critical rooms regarding room modes you can achieve a much more subtle adjustment with the help of an activated bass. Whether you play your music loud or gentle: The Javari floor-standing speaker always delivers a competent impression of a rich sound, great dynamics and precision. Whether your prefer analytic listening or musical pleasure: Javari gives you the choice."

Conclusion of the magazine Klang+Ton:

"Full upgradeability, full flexibility: You can enter the Javari system by a fair-priced compact class entry and live it up to the fully active high-end floor-standing tower. In their own price segment, all variants show an outstanding quality and the best value for your money - regarding efficiency and sound."

Impedance correction

If you want to use a valve amplifier with this speaker an impedance correction should be employed. In this case the component quality is less important; therefore, we offer only one kit (upon request higher quality components are available).
