Seven feet of bipolar planar ribbon perfection.

The Ribbonacci Reference is not a speaker. It is a statement about what recorded sound can be when engineering refuses compromise.

$89,000 – $120,000 per pair

The argument

We built the Ribbonacci because planar magnetic technology — when executed without compromise — outperforms every conventional driver topology. Not marginally. Categorically.

The bipolar configuration emits sound from both the front and back of each membrane. The result is not rear radiation contaminating the listening room. It is a soundstage that mirrors live performance: three-dimensional, layered, spatially honest.

Seven feet tall. Six membranes per side. One thousand watts of DSP-controlled subwoofer power. This is what it costs to fill a concert hall with the original performance.
