Best performance is achieved in medium to large rooms, where the speakers can be positioned away from side & rear walls. The prodigious bass is complimented by an articulate mid band and fast delicate tops. Scale, impact and a rock solid centre stage are defining characteristics of this speaker. It’s efficient at 90 dB. When partnered with an amplifier that has sufficient control of the dual 8” drivers you will experience transparency and agility from this large loudspeaker. The Claro 8.2 has a symmetrical compliment of 8″ (220 mm) woofers and a tractrix horn loaded 38 mm ring radiator tweeter.

The control amplifier is at the heart of the system and performs numerous tasks.  Absolute stability and overload capability must be maintained while input levels are normalised over the complete audio bandwidth.

Amplifying a signal and driving a loudspeaker is far more complex than it first appears.  The stereo power amplifier is designed to stably and reliably drive real loudspeakers under all conditions.

The mono amplifiers build on the substantial performance of the stereo amplifier, greatly increasing the repertoire.  A frequent comment on hearing the mono amplifiers is that “there is so much more of everything!”

At the end of a long phone-call with an Audiophile friend, he mentioned to me that he knows someone that has built a magnificent turntable. A work of love and pure genius. Meticulously designed and very sound mechanical principles. Seeing that we are all a little bit isolated from the rest of the “modern” world and that most of our legends are old and have passed away, I was very curious to say the least. I always wondered why nobody tackled a good solid engineered turntable in South Africa. I mean, really…how difficulty is it to improve on a Linn LP12, Rega 3, or any of those ? The call was made and here starts the story….Ill let Lance tell his own story with a few notes here and there from myself….

The Claro 6.2 has a symmetrical compliment of 6″ (180 mm) woofers and a tractrix horn loaded 38 mm ring radiator tweeter. This loudspeaker works well in medium sized room. Correct placement will reward the listener with detail and transparency that results in a realistic ‘in the room’ experience. As with any hi end component, the 6.2’s will perform at the optimum if matched by equal quality components. This speaker strikes a great balance of scale, bass speed and detail, wide & deep sound stage. At just over 1.2 meters tall with a mass of 45 kilograms per speaker, it certainly has a presence in the room. Yet its proportions are elegant and it looks just right. There’s a lot packed into the Claro 6.2. Please see the review from AUDIO (Germany) in the review section.
