About the Rigoletto 2020

The Odeon Audio Rigoletto 2020 is a premium floorstanding loudspeaker handcrafted in Germany, optimized for use with low power tube amplifiers such as 300B and 2A3. It employs a downward firing bass horn system where the bass-midrange driver works into a multi-folded horn that ends above the floor, producing seamless, highly dynamic bass and an intensive basic tone range, especially effective for vocal reproduction. The speaker has a high efficiency of 95 dB and an impedance of 8 ohms, making it ideal for low power amps. It uses a new generation one-inch compression driver tweeter with a strong neodymium magnet providing a magnetic force of 2 Tesla, delivering highest resolution and speed with a frequency response extending beyond 25,000 Hz. The tweeter is supported by a 17 cm birch plywood horn that acts as a mechanical amplifier, contributing to a relaxed sound character with high resolution. The internal wiring uses pure oxidation-free copper (OFC) with Teflon insulation and 7N monocrystalline copper for high purity signal transmission. The speaker terminals are WBT Nextgen gold-plated copper, designed to minimize eddy current effects. The cabinet is made from a mix of various woods and features a specially tuned crossover at 2300 Hz. Dimensions are approximately 107 cm height, 22 cm width, and 40 cm depth, with each speaker weighing 28 kg. The frequency range is 41 Hz to 24,500 Hz with a sensitivity of 95 dB at 8 ohms impedance. The Rigoletto 2020 is available in finishes such as walnut root and birch plywood.
