Franco Serblin Accordo Bookshelf Speakers Review: A Masterpiece of Acoustic Engineering

Franco Serblin Accordo Bookshelf Speakers

In this Franco Serblin Accordo Bookshelf Speakers review, we explore a true audiophile marvel that exemplifies the perfect marriage of artisanal craftsmanship and acoustic excellence. As a reviewer at The Audio Tailor, I've had the privilege of experiencing numerous high-end speakers, but few have left such a lasting impression as the Accordo.

Craftsmanship That Speaks Volumes

The Accordo's super-rigid, arch-shaped cabinet isn't just a visual statement - it's an acoustic masterpiece. Handcrafted from solid walnut or grey multilayered hardwood, the cabinet features sophisticated aluminium-magnesium decoupling that effectively manages resonance while adding to its aesthetic appeal.

Technical Excellence

The heart of the Accordo lies in its exceptional driver configuration. The 29mm silk-dome tweeter, a culmination of Ragnar Lian's three-decade pursuit of perfection, delivers pristine highs with remarkable clarity. Complementing this is a custom-made 150mm sliced paper mid-woofer, optimised for precise cone break-up control.

Acoustic Performance

With a frequency response of 40Hz to 33kHz and 87dB sensitivity, these speakers deliver a soundstage that defies their compact dimensions. The minimalist crossover approach, housed ingeniously in the dedicated stand, ensures phase coherence and precise imaging that would impress even the most discerning audiophile.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Exceptional build quality with artisanal craftsmanship
  • Revolutionary arch-shaped cabinet design
  • Ragnar Lian's legendary tweeter design
  • Impressive frequency response for bookshelf speakers
  • Innovative stand-mounted crossover system
  • Limited production ensuring exclusivity
  • Stunning aesthetic appeal

Cons:

  • Premium price point
  • Extended lead times due to limited production
  • 4-ohm impedance requires careful amplifier matching
  • Minimum 20W amplification requirement

Who Should Consider the Accordo?

The Accordo is perfect for the discerning audiophile who values both sonic excellence and artistic design. These speakers particularly shine in intimate listening rooms where their imaging capabilities can be fully appreciated. If you're seeking reference-grade performance in a compact form factor, the Accordo deserves your attention.

The Listening Experience

The Accordo creates an expansive soundstage that belies its modest dimensions. The separation between instruments is remarkable, while the coherence between the drivers results in a seamless, natural presentation that makes you forget you're listening to speakers at all.

System Matching

Given the 4-ohm impedance and 87dB sensitivity, we recommend partnering these speakers with quality amplification of at least 20W per channel. Our team at The Audio Tailor can provide detailed advice on optimal system matching - feel free to reach out to us at 1300 308 711 for personalised recommendations.
