Audiovector R3 Arreté

Audiovector R3 Arreté - A compact wonder

Audiovector and Ole Klifoth are two names that resonate with most enthusiasts worldwide, and for good reason. To that extent, Audiovector has helped put Denmark high on the world map when we talk about sublime quality sound from relatively compact speakers. The founder and Chief Engineer Ole Klifoth has exclusively dealt with loudspeaker construction for more than 40 years, and it can be heard. Each and every new and larger model in Audiovector's series has always had audible and vital sound improvements compared to its predecessor, and here the top model R3 Arreté is no exception!

Highlights

• Low compression concept means that the membranes can move freely under even the most demanding conditions. This means that the speakers can play any signal and piece of music with an incredibly reliable sound reproduction.
• The soundstage enhancement concept ensures that the soundstage is preserved, no matter where you place yourself. The sound fills the room in such a way that you feel you are at a live concert.
• No Energy Storage is an innovation that improves realism and sound stage, as the units are not affected by the weight of the cabinet.
• NCS molecular realignment gives a clearer and more detailed sound, because the components are frozen down to -238° C. This causes the molecules to regroup in the same direction, so that the resistance is reduced.
• Freedom of grounding ensures a clean, precise and more realistic sound with a low noise level, by removing the movement-induced distortion of and between the units in the speaker.
• Individual upgrade concept means that you can update the speakers at any time with an improved model.
• Beautiful and timeless design

World-class high-end speakers

The predecessor SR3 AA was already an excellent speaker, and it is still considered by many to be one of the absolute best speakers under DKK 100,000. However, they only cost a little over half that. So how much better than its predecessor can the new R3 Arreté be? The answer is incredibly much better, and it's impressive how much Audiovector continues to be able to squeeze out of such a compact cabinet and relatively small units. Because the laws of physics are difficult to circumvent, and the teacher's books say that the cabinet volume and membrane area will always play a decisive role in the size, fullness and realism of the sound. But the Audiovector R3 AA is appallingly indifferent to these facts, because it plays like a large full-grown floor speaker, and it does so with an authority and realism unheard of in this class.

The news in R3 Arreté

The new R3 Arreté is equipped with a new optimized split filter, brand new carbon fiber membranes and a better and more solidly braced cabinet with newly designed airflow. It undoubtedly bears some of the credit for the highly addictive sound reproduction that the R3 Arreté produces. Add to that Audiovector's superb R-series AMT treble and the new "freedom" grounding system, and the result speaks for itself. And so do the reviews, because they have tested and praised the new R3 Arreté to the skies.
