Morel Sopran - flagship speakers (pair)
The Sopran 3-way (which includes five drive units) combines creative vision and acoustic physics. The curved fiber-glass cabinet eliminates internal standing waves even with no internal absorption material. The result is a speaker so transparent and natural that it sounds as if there was no cabinet at all.
Winner of a CES Design and Engineering Innovations award. The new model derives many of its innovative technologies from the expertise gleaned from developing the £30,000 flagship "Fat Lady" model.
A port is deployed directly behind each woofer to achieve outstanding, tight and controlled bass reproduction. The same approach is used in the midrange driver. Morel's Sopran three-way design employs four newly designed 6" drivers (midrange and woofer) using titanium voice coil formers. High end frequencies are handled by a 1.1" Acuflex soft dome tweeter incorporating a triple magnet system. The end result is a truly dynamic and lifelike speaker that also boasts an exceptionally wide and flat frequency response of 33-22,000Hz (45-18,000Hz ±1.5dB!) with an efficiency of 91.5dB and a power handling of 1000W. In other words, it can go VERY loud but also take advantage of low power output, Class A Valve Amplifiers.
