Here it is in all its glory: the brand-new XAVIAN Medea two-way speaker, complete with a matching set of stands available.
The veil has been lifted, and we can now all behold the latest creation from XAVIAN! The new XAVIAN Medea is built around the most recent generation of drivers, specifically the Scan-Speak Ellipticor, configured as a two-way system. The manufacturer is enthusiastic about the Medea, describing it as “a two-way system of unmatched integrity, clarity, and musicality, capable of reproducing music with extraordinary fidelity and emotion. The Medea project had no boundaries. The goal was to achieve an authentic XAVIAN solution at the highest level allowed by the stand-mount concept. With our Medea, you can boldly explore the deepest layers of your favorite music and hear it like never before, thanks to its fantastic resolution and expansive sound dimensions.”
