Our thoughts

Experience unparalleled sound quality with the Chario Academy Sovran Floorstanding Speakers. Painstakingly handcrafted and perfected through 196 hours of machinery timing, a rigorous 6-month wood drying process, and 5 hours of assembly and quality control—these beauties redefine acoustics. Leveraging Chario's proprietary Doublet radiation principle, these speakers control energy diffusion at low frequencies, bringing an unparalleled approach to sound in your space. Thanks to the selection of the right board, precise cutting, and meticulous storage area and drying process, the wood cabinet acclimatizes to climate conditions for soundness and durability. Through our strategic Reversed Woofer/Tweeter Alignment, we bring listening to life even in smaller rooms, providing wave-fronts with spatial information. The hourglass duct design allows for a maximum air velocity of 130km/h, minimizing disturbances and optimizing sound emission. Bolstered with a solid walnut and HDF casing, the Chario Academy Sovran Floorstanding Speakers are more than just aesthetically pleasing—they are your front-row ticket to an unsurpassed sonic experience.
