Throughout the lifetime of Opera loudspeakers, the model name Callas has always stood for reference quality and excellence in performance and design. The latest product from the Opera stable to hold this illustrious title is no exception to the rule. The new Callas features a highly original and groundbreaking design that employs no less than five tweeters, three located on the rear of the cabinet and two on the front. These are joined by a specially designed for Opera bass/mid driver from Seas. This unique speaker delivers stunning transparency and unrivalled three dimensional sound staging, along with wonderful tonal balance. The handcrafted cabinet - in lacquered cherry or mahogany - is a work of real beauty. A truly excellent loudspeaker.
