Trenner&Friedl ART Bookshelf Loudspeakers
ART – it's someone you love to have around. It is attentive, subtle, has a story to tell. When it lets loose, it paints us stories in the most evocative colors. In things that we thought we knew well, it shows us completely new details.
It integrates itself into our lives, as if it had always been there. And even if it's deftly prancing character might not lead one to suspect it at first, ART has a huge heart, expressing genuinely deep feelings ...
In short: ART is probably the loudspeaker with the most potential to surprise you in our entire lineup – you have never heard small so big...
Standard finish features Corpus Veneer with Ebony Front panel—Bamboo Front is an upgradeable option.
LESS IS MORE
So many HiFi products are designed with an eye towards – good question, really… We so often are confronted with technical-looking monsters that fit into a living room about as well as a production-line assembly robot. Most listening rooms in this world are living spaces – spaces in which, “among other things,” we listen to music. We pay attention to this: with their peaceful, modest, yet modern forms, our loudspeakers integrate easily into almost any living room environment. Design cannot just be its own sole purpose. It requires a focus. And perhaps our view of HiFi is best compared with a bookcase: stylish, unassuming, yet meaningful, a pleasant part of the room – just that, instead of reaching for something to read, if desired, one can select a piece of music…and, oh, such music!
What goes in comes back out…
That it is the inner values that count in the end is an often heard and well-proven adage. Loudspeakers from Trenner & Friedl distinguish themselves not only in their perfectly finished exterior – the exceptional musicality of our products is built from an equally sophisticated and ingenious inner life:
The musical signal is received by generously proportioned, rhodium-plated pure copper Cardas terminals, then passed along through Cardas inner-cabling. Our crossovers are carefully hand-constructed from the finest elements:
- Premium Mundorf capacitors, for long life, faster response and balanced tone,
- baked-lacquer coils, flat copper coils with extremely low skin-effect,
- metal-film resistors for purest reproduction of high-frequencies.
We treat the paper cones of our low-frequency drivers with seven layers of Italian oil varnish, in order to optimise elasticity, damping and stiffness, and reduce cone resonances and distortion.
