KARLOS is a product for people who understand music as a means of enjoyment. Compared with even the best loudspeaker systems available today, it transmits almost without compromise the emotionally decisive content of the musical information that a recording carries within itself. Conversely, it never runs the risk of dissecting or analytically reproducing the music or the recording. In its price range, it fully exploits the advantages of the modern, lossless active concept and the mechanical qualities of its components. Here it delivers the maximum in resolution, spatial information, realistic dynamics, vocal articulation, depth and, last but not least, acoustic grandeur. Add to that drive, pace and joy of playing as if it were ‚live‘. Thanks to its iconic appearance and the invisible integration of the electronics, it also enriches the interior design.
