Loudspeakers

Inspired by the late Franco Serblin, son-in-law Massimiliano Favella says, ‘The Accordo Unica, like other projects, required around three years of R&D. This loudspeaker has been developed according to the Accordo’s iconic shape while keeping its own personality’. This included adhering to the concept of the soundstage as an atrium. As Serblin once explained, ‘The idea came to mind as I needed to create a speaker to reach an end-sound as natural as possible, taking into consideration a wider acoustic result. I always stand by the idea that shape follows function, so I keep this in mind when working on a new project’.

Working in solid wood instead of veneered MDF presents its own challenges. Says Massimiliano, ‘Not everyone is aware that producing speakers in solid wood demands complex, meticulous work, as this is a precious and delicate live material, not a synthetic. For this reason, solid wood allows for different tone qualities but I had to go through many different trials to find the right balance between the wood and the size, for the best sound possible. The journey is rocky, definitely not linear, as there’s always room for improvement’.
