Estasi

The maison's flagship. Launched in 2015 and welcomed with a long-form review by Matej Isak on Mono & Stereo. Three-way with dual-cavity transmission line — the constructive solution that lets the loudspeaker restore the low register without the inertia of traditional bass-reflex and without the efficiency loss of sealed systems.

Each pair requires up to eight weeks of manual work. The cabinet — massive bracing, non-parallel walls, dual cavity with a labyrinthine path — leaves the Castelvetrano atelier after the fifteen working stages for the final varnishing in the tradition of the Stradivari luthiers. The varnishes are those that Lamborghini and Aston Martin use on their bodywork. Eight standard finishes, unlimited customisation.

On the electro-acoustic side, the crossover is first-order, hand-assembled and tuned to preserve temporal phase coherence. The drivers are selected one by one from the best of Seas, ScanSpeak and Focal, in line with the philosophy that runs through the entire Ars Aures catalogue. Internal Kimber Cable wiring.

At the REC & Play event, held in the prestigious Fazioli Hall in Sacile (PD), Estasi enchanted the superintendents of Italy's major theatres and the audience alike, faithfully restoring the magic of the Fazioli grand pianos.

Three-way floorstanding loudspeaker, bass reflex transmission system. Built with 30 mm natural wood plywood staves, Estasi features a D'Appolito configuration for the mid-high frequencies, with two 5" Seas midwoofers and a silk-dome, dual-motor ScanSpeak tweeter. For the bass section the loudspeaker carries two 11" woofers from France's Focal, positioned according to the Ars Aures double-cavity patent and working in parallel. Hand-built crossover with ultra-selected componentry. Kimber Cable wiring to Ars Aures specifications.
