Introducing Xyla

  • True 3-way speaker in a compact package
  • Unique acoustics-first design avoiding parallel surfaces to eliminate standing waves
  • Front bass-reflex for easy placement
  • Dedicated subwoofer driver crossed low for deep and substantial bass
  • High-quality parts - midrange and tweeter from SB Acoustics
  • Phase-aligned crossover from premium components from Danish Jantzen Audio including SUPERIOR capacitors and Superes resistors
  • High-grade internal wiring from Jantzen Audio - silver-plated OFC copper in Teflon insulation
  • Massive speaker terminals accepting many different connections
  • For its size - substantial weight of 14 kg / pair

Acoustics-first design

The cabinet construction is not merely an aesthetic matter. The entire enclosure is manufactured as a single solid and rigid piece, without any screws or glued joints of multiple parts. The internal space is completely free of parallel walls, thus substantially reducing internal resonances and standing waves. Despite its compact size, the loudspeaker pair weighs a solid 13 kg, contributing to overall stability and the clarity of the sound reproduction.

During the design of the Xyla model, the manufacturer decided to abandon the limitations of traditional woodworking, which often leads to boxy shapes and high costs when attempting more complex geometries. The chosen technology provided almost unlimited freedom in design. The final form was developed in collaboration with industrial designer Ondřej Pejchal, resulting—after a year of development—in an unconventional monolithic shape that clearly rejects the stereotype of the “rectangular box” in interior spaces.

3 is more than 2

While small speakers typically use a two-way design, Xyla employs a three-way configuration to ensure full reproduction of the entire frequency spectrum, while allowing each driver to operate only within its optimal frequency range, thus minimizing distortion. At the heart of the system is a high-quality midrange driver from Danish manufacturer SB Acoustics, responsible for the critical range from lower midrange to lower treble, the area to which the human ear is most sensitive.

To ensure perfect detail at the highest frequencies, the system is complemented by a tweeter from the same manufacturer capable of reaching up to 40 kHz, adding airiness and openness to the sound. It also features wide dispersion, expanding the optimal listening area.

The lowest frequencies are handled by a bass “specialist” with a paper cone and long excursion, capable of reproducing frequencies below 40 Hz in typical listening rooms. It is supported by a front-firing bass reflex port designed with a large diameter, specific geometry, and carefully tuned length to maintain performance without compression even at higher volumes. The front-facing port also provides great flexibility in placement—the speakers can be positioned in a bookshelf, on a desk, or close to a wall.

Premium Internal Components

We did not compromise on internal electronics either. The speakers use components from the Danish brand Jantzen Audio, including Superes resistors and high-end Superior capacitors. Internal wiring, also from Jantzen Audio, consists of silver-plated oxygen-free copper in Teflon insulation, connected to massive gold-plated terminals.

Xyla aims to deliver high-end sound while using components typically found in much more expensive models—while maintaining a very reasonable price. The crossover components are not soldered onto a board but directly interconnected. The manufacturer also paid special attention to precise driver phase alignment to achieve wide and accurate spatial reproduction of recordings.

Xyla - Sound characteristics

  • Detailed yet pleasant sound

    Thanks to 3-way construction, each driver plays in its own comfort zone, thus the sound is detailed but not unpleasant. Dedicated high-quality midrange driver covers the most sensitive part of music.

  • Deep and firm bass

    Thanks to a dedicated subwoofer driver crossed low, the small enclosure delivers a substantial and deep base that is well controlled even at high-volumes thanks to carefully designed bassreflex geometry.

  • Accurate soundstage

    Soundstage presentation is an essential component of music listening. When designing the speaker we have always paid close attention to accurate soundstage.
