The Excalibur S7 Special Edition is a special floorstanding loudspeaker from Richter, an Australian manufacturer known for considered, musically engaging driver and cabinet engineering, built with extraordinary sensitivity. The Excalibur S7 Special Edition brings Richter's most accomplished current engineering to this specific commemorative floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 24Hz to 30,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is an extraordinary 91dB into a demanding 4 ohm load - among the highest efficiency figures available in any commercial loudspeaker. Recommended amplifier power spans 100-300W. At 119.1 x 28.5 x 44.5cm and 36.2kg, the Excalibur S7 Special Edition represents a serious floorstanding commitment reflecting Richter's flagship-tier engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the extraordinary 91dB sensitivity combined with the exceptionally wide 24Hz-30kHz bandwidth, meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes readily from even modest amplifier power despite the demanding 4 ohm impedance.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the substantial 100-300W recommended range calls for capable amplification with real current delivery.
