Vivace

„ ...a completely natural-sounding, threedimensional musical picture that hangs in space behind the loudspeakers – while they just disappear.“
Jeremy Baldwin (The Right Note, UK)

The Kawero!® Vivace has grown out of the develop-
ment programme for the larger Kawero!® Classic
loudspeaker that has drawn numerous 'best sound at
the show' comments in recent years.

Both speakers are designed to produce, from a
compact cabinet, a huge hall-filling sound with lifelike
instruments and voices 'present' in the room.

A key feature of these speakers is the way they work
with the room's natural ambient response, together with
the characteristics of human hearing, to achieve the
correct power, scale and tonal balance in the listening
room. Extensive acoustics modelling has ensured that
the direct and reflected sound-field combine correctly,
with all the tonal colours of the sound in perfect
harmony.

Soaring, enthralling, involving music is the result.
