From room-filling sub-woofers to elaborate sculptural objects, speaker systems have never been so diverse. We round up eight key players in the modern audio space
Drawing on a wide range of audio specialists from around the world, from start-ups to established brands, the market for signature-piece loudspeakers is undergoing a revival. Whether you’ve got a slot on the bookshelf or a ballroom to fill, here are eight new speaker systems with the technical chops to match their physical presence.A for Ara is a new speaker start-up created by the original founder and CEO of Etsy, Robert Kalin, and William Cowan, a Nasa engineer.
Their debut collection consists of three speaker systems, B-2, FS1, and FS2. The latter are striking, Memphis-style sculptural objects, explicitly handcrafted and pitched at the more gregarious audiophiles. Each model promises crystal-clear sound delivered through the sub-woofer in the base and the elaborate hardwood horn, with its flower-like structure. From its workshop in New York State’s Catskill Mountains, A for Ara offers a range of hand-finished hardwoods and other customisation options.
