"...the music was always excellently clean, presented in an above-average format and precisely, but at the same time completely relaxed and focused. Throughout their range, the speakers are rock-solid, utterly confident and fantastically organized, as if there was no distortion or even the slightest hint of curtain. There are many high-end sets with excellent detail, but almost all of them are accompanied by a certain hardness, even if only a hint - but not here, Ellipticor are a real standard of naturalness and liveliness."

Medea: An Extreme Passion

The ultimate two-way, born from the desire to build the best speaker possible today. This is both a unique new offering and an offshoot of our acclaimed Virtuosa Anniversario, introduced earlier this year.

The all-new Medea standmounted loudspeakers are the realization of all our knowledge, experience, desire to create, and will to create the best that can be assembled from today's available technologies. Thanks to the latest generation of drivers - the ultimate Scan-Speak Ellipticor - a two-way system with unique integrity, clarity and musicality was created, with the ability to play music with extraordinary fidelity and emotion. The Medea project was not limited by anything. The goal was to achieve an authentic XAVIAN solution at the highest standard that the standmount concept allows. With our Medea, thanks to the fantastic resolution and large sonic scale, you can boldly venture into the deepest layers of your favorite music and hear it like never before.

Together with Medea, an equally unique stand was created, complementing Medea's self-confident aesthetic. We have chosen slightly eccentric proportions and style, which are the product of an extremely laborious production process, in order not only to ensure completely optimal operating conditions, but also to underline the uniqueness of the entire solution. In measurement and practice, Medea has only a small dip below 6 ohms, and is suitable for tube amplifiers.
