Opera Audio - So richtig begann es im Jahr 1989 In Venetien erfüllt sich ein Grandseigneur der Italienischen HiFi – Szene einen audiophilen Lebenstraum - Giovanni Nasta gründet die Lautsprecher-Manufaktur Opera. Die Ursprünge gehen allerdings schon auf die frühen 1980er Jahre zurück, damals entstand eine Symbiose aus zwei audiophilen Kulturen, der italienischen und der englischen. Der erste Opera Lautsprecher trug den Namen Caruso und war der Vorläufer einer Reihe von Produkten, deren Namenspatrone die großen Stimmen aus Oper und Operette waren und sind.Heute gibt es eine große Auswahl verschiedener Opera-Modelle und die Lautsprecher werden nach ganz Europa und in viele Kontinente exportiert. Aber geblieben ist die Verpflichtung auf den besten Klang, das klassische Schönheitsideal und Vorbild. Dafür steht Giovanni Nasta, er ist bis zum heutigen Tag im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes "tonangebend" für die Unternehmensziele im Hause Opera..Die gebotene Musikalität in Verbindung mit höchstwertigen Bauteilen (Scan Speak und Seas Chassis aus Skandinavien) und der sensationellen Gehäuseverarbeitung kennen wir zu solchen Preisen von keinem anderen Lautsprecherhersteller.Opera hat ein sehr kleines Produktsortiment, aber jeder Lautsprecher ist in seiner Preisregion ein Preis-Leistungs-Überflieger.ART & VOICE Tip !!!   Erleben Sie Oprea High End Lautsprecher bei Ihrem autorisierten Opera Händler - Art & Voice !

Opera Callas Diva, Standlautsprecher (Paarpreis) Das neue Modell Callas Diva ist ein Drei-Wege-Standlautsprecher, der das gleichnamige Vorgängermodell ablöst. Er wurde komplett neu entwickelt. Die Leistung der neuen Callas Diva ist auf dem Niveau des Grand Callas Modells, aber mit einer deutlichen Verringerung der Lautstärke, um in kleineren Räumen verwendet werden zu können.  Technische Daten Opera Callas Diva Bass-Reflex Standlautsprecher mit zusätzlichen Hochtönern auf der Rückseite (Dipol) Belastbarkeit: 240 Watt (RMS) Wirkungsgrad: 89 dB/1 Watt/1 Meter Größe: 30 x 130 x 55 cm (BxHxT) Gewicht: 79 Kg

Opera Grand Callas (Paarpreis) Die komplett neuentwickelte Grand Callas ist ein Drei-Wege-Standlautsprecher, der das lange Zeit bekannte Vorgängermodell ablöst.Klanglich auf dem Niveau einer Opera Tebaldi, ist sie aber aufgrund deutlich reduzierter Abmessungen flexibler und unkritischer in der Aufstellung. Daten und Abmessungen Bass-Reflex Standlautsprecher mit zusätzlichen Hochtönern auf der Rückseite (Dipol) Scan Speak Hochtöner, Seas Mitteltöner und Bässe EQ-Anpassung für Bassberiech Belastbarkeit: 240 Watt (RMS) Terminals: BiWirung Wirkungsgrad: 89 dB/1 Watt/1 Meter Größe: 30 x 130 x 55 cm (BxHxT) Gewicht: 79 Kg The new Callas speakers use techniques and components that represent the state of the art in electroacoustic, starting from the cabinet., the speakers and the crossovers. The result is tonally correct, realistic , engaging, and above all enjoyable to listen to. The new model Callas is an example of elegance and fits discreetly into any environment . Callas 2014 is a compact two-way loudspeaker (14 litres) of medium-small size which can be placed on a shelf or a stand . Its main feature is the low-frequency response, extended and controlled, combined with a typical sensitivity of froorstanding speakers. The woofer is a 7-inches, "long-throw", with annealed polypropylene diaphragm combined with the Scanspeak 9700 tweeter (the same used for Tebaldi, Malibran, Caruso and the new Grand Callas 2014) . The woofer is reflex loaded with a rear duct . Great care has been placed in the elimination of the internal reflections to ensure maximum transparency in the voice reproduction. Callas 2014 is equipped with a switch that allows you to adjust the output of the vocal range (+2 dB between 300 and 3000 Hz). This increases greatly the flexibility of the diffuser that fits both to a greater number of environmental situations . The new Callas produces a sound stage that expands in three dimensions with an excellent impulse response and power , dynamics and extension at low frequencies typical of systems of much higher dimensions . This speaker is also suitable for the "near field" listening (up to one meter to the listening point).

Opera Grand Mezza MK II (Paarpreis) Obviously this does not preclude the use of Grand Opera Mezza 2012 with even the most extensive and powerful amplifiers (up to over 200 Watts RMS per channel) provided the amplifier is of good quality and is protected against excessive clipping.The Opera Grand Mezza 2012, compared to the previous 2007 model, has been completely revamped. It is a floor-standing three-way column speaker that is reflex loaded. There are two 5" long-throw SEAS woofers with polypropylene cones and a 5” SEAS midrange driver. The cones are made from double-treated paper. The tweeter, by Scanspeak, is the same we use on the more expensive Seconda and Quinta 2011 models. Impedance for the Grand Mezza is a nominal 4 ohms.The Opera Grand Mezza 2012 is a comprehensive and versatile speaker system suitable for the most demanding musical programs, and it can be used in sophisticated home theater systems as well.

Opera Prima 2015, Kompaktlautsprecher, echt fein ! (Paarpreis) Description This diffuser is equipped with a couple of reflex ducts on the rear side which may be closed with two polyurethane cylinders. Other  improvement has been made on then cabinet    (more rigid) and the cross-over. Driver The new 7” woofer is a custom model, made by Scanspeak, for the whole new Classica series. This woofer has an excellent performance in the mid frequencies enough to be used as a midrange in the Quinta model. It is equipped with an aluminum diaphragm,  a 38 mm coil (two-layer, CCWA wire) with aluminium former immersed in a suitably shaped air gap. There is also a metal ring around the pole piece to control the flux variations. The basket is die-cast for maximum stiffness. Compared to its predecessor the volume displacement is increased by a significant 25%. The rigid aluminium diaphragm is free from  subharmonics and from transverse modes and perfectly reproduces the lower frequencies. The two woofers, connected in parallel, share the same 40 liters enclosed volume. The tweeter, a D26 series made by Scanspeak, has a one inch high quality treated soft dome, double magnet, decompression chamber, ferrofluid, aluminum flange and a one mm. peak to peak linear excursion (the double of a conventional tweeter). The frequency response extends to 30kHz (0 dB) and 40 kHz are reproduced 6 dB down. The resonant frequency is about 860 Hz which makes this tweeter insensitive to vibrations from other loudspeakers (if any due to the heavy 30 mm MDF the front panel).Crossover The crossover circuit, two ways and a half, is divided into two different boards placed at suitable distance from each other, to reduce the effects of mutual inductance of coils. The tweeter high-pass sections is designed to minimize the microphonic effect (something rarely done).  The capacitors used in the signal path have been carefully selected. This also contributes to the stability of the virtual central channel to create a stable and precise soundstage. Cabinet The cabinet re-proposes, in the upper part, the curvature of the Malibran model. The front panel, MDF (30 mm thick) is wide enough to accommodate the loudspeakers, has rounded edges and is covered in leather that also acts as a seal for the speaker. The sides of the cabinet are veneered with real wood and finely polished. The structure is further stiffened by internal bracing. Inside the cabinet there are two layers of pyramidal shaped, 10 cm thick, polyurethane which absorb the rear radiation of the woofers. As a consequence Consistency and Clarity are the hallmarks of the sound of this speaker. Opera Quinta is equipped with strong iron bars for wheels or spikes.The four externel connectors (Quinta is designed for bi-wiring) are the traditional gold-plated brass connectors, the same for all Opera speakers, including our top models. They accept any kind of termination providing a safe and effective electrical and mechanical contact.The insensitivity of the closed box system to sub-sonic frequencies makes our diffusers specially suited to the reproduction of analog records (LPs). The Opera Seconda is also suited to be used as front and / or rear channel in home theater systems: with two pairs of Opera Seconda you can get an Home Theater System that requires no center channel and no sub-woofer.Particular attention has been paid to the electrical impedance curve to get a diffuser less sensitive to the quality of the cables and amplifier (tube or solid state). Opera Seconda is a true 4 ohm nominal impedance system that meets the DIN 45500 standards (minimum impedance greater than 3.2 ohms) that can be driven by any amplifier suited for 4 ohm nominal load.Opera Seconda is a final diffuser: with full extension of the low frequency, capable of reproducing important volumes of sound, easy to insert into the room, with a clear and defined midrange and an high frequency reproduction typical of our top speakers.   Technical Specs Dimension: 33 x 20 x 28 cm (h x w x d) Weight: 19Kg (pair) System: Stand or bookshelf , reflex Loudspeakers: 1 woofer 6.5” aluminum diaphragm Number of ways: 2 Frequency response: 40-20000 Hz Cross-over: 12 dB/oct low pass, 12 dB/oct high pass, Frequency 2000Hz Amplifier: from 10 watt without clipping Sensitivity: 91 db 2.83 Vrms at 1 mt Nominal impedance: 4 ohm (Z min > 3.5 ohm) Power: 70 watt RMS Room positioning(on stand): 30 cm from side
