AUDES ORPHEUS is a product representing all of our wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of understanding a sound as an artistic form of expression and its influence on human perception. AUDES ORPHEUS is a carefully balanced unison of music, esthetics and physics capable of delivering the most intricate nuances of musical sounds.

The cabinet design is unique and shaped as a truncated pyramid. The absence of parallel walls eliminates pronounced resonance waves and, consequently, undesirable transmission surges. Along with complex internal partitions, the decorative side panels provide additional cabinet rigidity and its distinct shape. The overall combination of these design features rewards listeners with the most accurate and distinct reproduction of musical passages.


The tweeter is located in a special vibration-absorption cabinet featuring a narrow-front cabinet design and sleek shape. Mid-bass and tweeter drivers are carefully position at the locations that optimize listener's ability to enjoy the most intricate musical experience. An isolated crossover compartment protects the system from the detrimental influence of sound fluctuations on the crossover network. AUDES ORPHEUS features a side firing 10" woofer - a proprietary product of AUDES corporation. Our handmade, paper based woofer features a powerful magnet with an extra-rigid, die cast aluminum basket frame. These features lead to the reproduction of a distinctive and accurate sound. The unit is equipped with adaptable low-frequency port tuning capability including regime optimization for vacuum tube amplification.

Adjustable, ultra-firm positioning and high quality floor spike system.
