Floorstanding loudspeakers — Acapella HARLEKIN 2

The HARLEKIN 2 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Acapella, a German manufacturer known for distinctive horn-loaded driver technology, built with a substantial cabinet and easy 8 ohm impedance. The HARLEKIN 2 brings Acapella's considered horn engineering to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, a full-range specification. Impedance is an easy 8 ohms. At 120.5 x 29.5 x 46.0cm and 75kg, the HARLEKIN 2's considerable weight reflects serious internal horn-loading and cabinet engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect the immediate, dynamically engaging character horn-loaded loudspeaker designs are broadly known for, with the easy 8 ohm impedance suggesting genuine ease of drive despite the substantial 75kg cabinet mass.

Pairing

The easy 8 ohm impedance suits a wide range of amplifiers, from capable integrated designs through more ambitious separates.

Alternatives

Acapella's own flagship SPHÄRON EXCALIBUR sits considerably above this model with extraordinary scale, worth comparing directly to understand Acapella's broader horn-loudspeaker engineering range.
