Well known for many years, the “small” Lucia and Lunna speakers from French manufacturer Jean-Marie Reynaud have been upgraded to MkII versions.
In both cases, the bookshelf and floorstanding speakers retain their overall architecture, but many of their components have been modernized, starting with the drivers.
Lucia MkII
Integrated into a new 19 mm thick MDF cabinet, the Lucia MkII’s 13 cm diameter mid-bass driver is designed with a treated paper cone and a soft rubber center cone, integrated into a more rigid aluminum basket and energized by a 25 mm coil on a ventilated aluminum basket, with a double magnet. The 25 mm textile dome tweeter with neodymium magnet is installed in a small tuned chamber. A 2-way passive filter with symmetrical 12 dB/octave slopes and a crossover frequency of 3500 Hz, as well as pure copper internal wiring, ensure that everything works together perfectly.
Lunna MkII
The speaker uses the same new features, but in a 2.5-way configuration with two long-fiber paper cone mid-bass drivers, powered by 30 mm voice coils with a magnet that incorporates a copper ring to reduce distortion. Its bandwidth gains 20 Hz in the bass compared to the Lucia’s membrane, as it is measured by the manufacturer up to 40 Hz, compared to 60 Hz for the smaller model, while the speaker’s sensitivity is much more flexible, at 89/91 dB compared to 86 dB for the Lucia MkII.
In addition to the satin black finish, a satin black Woodscore version is available for both models, with the smaller Lucia MkII also available in pearl white. And the good news is that the prices remain affordable, with the Lucia MkII priced at 850 € and the Lunna MkII at 1 990 €.
