XAVIAN Aria Bookshelf Speakers

Aria is the smaller model in XAVIAN's 25th Anniversary Harmony series. It is actually a large 2-way standmount. With classic lines, it features selected Danish Scan-Speak drivers, characterized by low distortion and high sensitivity, thanks to which Aria performs at its best even at low and medium volumes. Aria stands out for its remarkable musicality and lightness of presentation, unusual for bookshelf loudspeakers. The enclosures are hand veneered and manufactured with our traditional unsurpassed care for quality workmanship. Come see and hear them for yourself.

Oak model is in stock. It's a beautiful natural oak veneer, nearly as light as maple but more prolific.

Choice of finish: Zebrano / Rosewood / Cherry / Walnut / Oak / Black high gloss / White high gloss

 *Magnetic fabric grille covers are optional at $200 per pair. (special order) Shipping included in Canada. Negotiable for US customers. Sales tax based on province for Canadian residents.

"The shapely Xavian Aria monitors play naturally, with a lightness and exceptional tonal neutrality that suits virtually any genre of music. The bass is brisk, precisely articulated, but doesn't reach into the deepest octaves. However, the filigree midrange offers an exceptionally rich spectrum that stands out, especially with acoustic instruments and vocals. Distinctlt smooth highs follow, without the slightest inappropriate accents. The music scene is three-dimensional, with clear localization. Appropriate dynamics also contribute to the musical expression. Like both larger models, Aria also has the gift of creating a personal connection with music for listeners." Pavel Vísek, Stereo & Video

"XAVIAN says that the Armonia series represents a new sound standard for the company, and it is true that it sounds different from the series we were used to in the previous decade, however even in these models (including the Aria shelf of course) you can feel a touch of the kind musicality for which it is a favorite brand. The Aria is a seemingly simple, almost British speaker with a characteristically high-quality build and well-matched fitment, with very low distortion and a clean, lively, fast sound that willingly shows off the character of electronics and recordings while holding back. If you are looking for a disciplined, precise and yet refined "almost-monitor", the XAVIAN Aria have very attractive potential."
