<\/p>\nVoxativ owner and designer In\u00e8s Adler and head of marketing Christopher Owens debuted Andagio, \u201ctheir newest horn-loaded model meticulously optimized for their exclusive range of field coil drivers,\u201d the press release stated.<\/p>\n
\nThe base model costs $32,900\/pair, equipped with the paper-coned AC-X field coil driver, the Andagio is also available with higher-resolution drivers including the wood-coned AC-X2 at $36,900\/pair. In the video, Ines Adler introduces the Andagio and discuss its features and sound.<\/p>\n
\nThe Andagio can also be fitted with a \u201chybrid field coil driver,\u201d the AC-XHB; in that configuration, the price is $69,900\/pair. The driver combines a neodymium magnet ring to \u201cinduce passive magnetism with a field coil and power supply that render it electromagnetic,\u201d stated the press release. The AC-XHB features a cone made from tonholz wood, traditionally used in violin making, joined to a goat-leather surround.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cRemarkably, the AC-XHB achieves a magnetic force of 24k Gauss within a 10mm gap\u2014the most potent magnet motor ever developed\u201d for a loudspeaker, the press release stated. \u201cThis formidable engineering enhances sonic performance through precise magnetic field control and ensures exceptional linearity and minimal distortion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nEvery Andagio configuration comes with the N1 linear power supply standard; Voxativ offers three upgraded power supplies: a battery-powered version, a supercap version, and, at the highest level, a tube-based configuration. The version on display costs \u20ac12,900.<\/p>\n

\nVoxativ\u2019s High End Munich system included the Voxativ T-805 SET Integrated Amplifier (30Wpc) and Voxativ cabling.<\/p>\n
\nStreaming various pop, jazz, and classical titles, the Andagio had that trademark (to me) Voxativ sound, which combines beauty and power, but with a far more open and extended top end than the Ampeggio 2024 I recently reviewed.<\/p>\n
