The most common criticism levelled at
hi-fi companies today is that systems
are designed either for home cinema
use, or to reproduce stereo music
accurately. It is seemingly difficult
to find a system that combines
the best of both worlds without
compromise to each other. Opus
2
,
however, has been engineered as
a complete range with dedicated
models available for use as centre
channels and surround speakers.
Within film soundtracks, around
70% of the audio is usually directed
through the centre speaker. It is
essential therefore, that this speaker
is not only of the very highest quality,
but that it integrates seamlessly
with the front left and front right
speakers, presenting a cohesive front
soundstage.
The Opus
2
centre channel speaker
utilises the same dome mid-range
and tweeter arrangement as in all the
floorstand and stand-mount models.
Aligned vertically, their dispersion
is uniform on the horizontal plane
with none of the ‘lobing’ that lesser
centre channels can be prone to.
Tonally matched and perfectly
balanced to present vocals in a
breath-takingly natural fashion, the
Opus
2
centre is the result of many
years work in the field of home
cinema.
The tri-surround speakers within
the Opus
2
range take the principle
of tonal matching further still,
perfectly integrated with the rest
of the series, yet with a full 180
degree dispersion aimed at fully
immersing the listener within a
complete soundfield.
The Opus
2
series also includes
the new ‘AVC’ models. These
are specifically engineered to
be wall mounted for the least
intrusive installation, yet with the
same outstanding neutrality and
cleanliness as the larger models.
