Crystal Cable - Arabesque Minissimo Forte

The new Minissimo Forte takes things to an even higher level. Crystal Cable's goal was to further refine the performance possible from a standmount loudspeaker, while maintaining its predecessor's beauty and compactness. An advanced new passive-active crossover has been added, alongside special fully balanced filter technology. Our unique MADTM (Multiple Absorption and Dispersion) system and the new stable and decoupled stand further reduce cavity resonances, and improve sound quality. Together, this series of engineering improvements delivers superb sonic performance.
 

Cabinet

The Minissimo Forte cabinet is machined from a single PU aluminum alloy block that is supremely rigid, creating a perfect platform for the Minissimo Forte's premium quality drive units. The carefully engineered MADTM structure diffuses resonance, which in turn lets the drivers deliver the music-and not the cabinet. The result is a translucent, glass-clear sound that reveals
striking amounts of detail.
 

Stand

Each Minissimo Forte comes with a sturdy, bespoke aluminum stand, designed to deliver high frequency sound at ear level when the listener is seated. It is as acoustically inert as possible, reducing resonance rather than adding noise of its own. The stand's structural parts decouple it from the cabinet, preventing the transfer of vibrations. At the same time, it also functions as the housing for the passive-active system in the loudspeaker.


Crossover

Crystal Cable has developed a radical new type of passive-active crossover filter which is almost unique in the industry. Its active, powered electronics and the absence of the troublesome coils better tailor the drivers to the music being reproduced-in turn losing less of the original electrical signal. This delivers a more accurate, detailed and vibrant sound than is possible from conventional passive crossovers, and is more consistent over time.
