Going even further than the Orfeo Grande, French manufacturer Jean-Marie Reynaud presents a new floorstanding speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auralis takes its name from a Greek combination of aura, ear (auris) and elevation (alis), with a more modern appearance than the manufacturer’s current floorstanding speakers and a cabinet covered in beautiful wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a 2.5-way design, the Auralis combines an 18 cm (7\u2019\u2019) bass driver with a paper cone treated with seven layers of carbon, with a mid-bass driver also made of paper, but covered with seven layers of carbon and polyetheretherketone, with an aluminum ogive in the center. To energize them, a 38 mm (1.5\u2019\u2019) vented coil is placed behind each membrane. Inherited from the compact Voce Grande, the 120 mm (0.5\u2019\u2019) AST tweeter is based on a pleated diaphragm principle designed to pinch the air between its folds and expel it extremely quickly. It can handle frequencies up to 28 kHz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MDF cabinet is covered in Woodscore XO finish with walnut veneer, stained with a polished cognac piano varnish. With a triangular load, this speaker has a nominal impedance of 4 \u03a9 and a sensitivity of 89 dB. It is decoupled from the base by a polymer specifically validated to suppress vibrations. A front-firing port at the bottom allows bass frequencies to be expelled without feedback from the rear wall, down to low frequencies of 35 Hz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weighing 45 kg per speaker and measuring 1.15 m in height, the new Auralis remains relatively easy to amplify, with a single pair of terminals on each side at the rear. It is available for pre-order now, with delivery starting in February 2026, at a price of 18 000 \u20ac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
