Description
The baffle on this speaker is covered in sawn veneers which I cut myself from solid timber. This allowed me to book match the fronts so the two speakers are more or less a mirror image of each other. The edges are rounded over for better sound dispersion and even though the baffle looks quite slender in reality it is 30 mm thick just like all the baffles in this range. Quite a pleasing result I feel.
The cabinets are made from 30mm thick Finnish birch ply. This thickness of ply plus internal bracing ensure an extremely rigid carcass allowing the driver to perform to its limits giving you a very sweet and clear sounding experience with a cohesion unique to full range drivers.
Satin Nickel heavy-duty binding posts can be used with banana plugs or will accept wire up to 8 gauge.

“These speakers are small in size but deliver a soundstage worthy of large speakers; That is, they distribute sound evenly throughout the room, even if it is large. THE sound is refined and alive. We reach a very good level of definition for a speaker of this range. The price / quality ratio of this small speaker is undeniably very good.” Emmanuel Levy of www.hifi.fr
The small speakers – Pico Bello – I think, are amazing.
It’s very small, very cute, with a small box and a small speaker!
Okay, don’t be fooled, it’s the same designer, and they weigh two tons. Or not far!
Real gear, always.
Listening to these, they are little wonders. Capable of satisfying all demanding amateurs.
Not a huge sound level, it’s true, but a real beautiful sound, and you can
listen to any music on it, including the great orchestral masses,
jazz, and a little electro, I’m ashamed but I like it!Favorite for me.
Well done.
