Floorstanding loudspeakers — Opera Loudspeakers Opera Grand Mezza

The Opera Grand Mezza is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Opera Loudspeakers, built with the demanding impedance and a wide amplifier-power tolerance. The Opera Grand Mezza brings Opera's considered engineering to an accessible floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 40Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Impedance is a demanding 4 ohms, with recommended amplifier power spanning 10-120W - the remarkably low 10W minimum suggesting compatibility with even the most minimal amplifiers.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, musically engaging character Opera's broader Italian catalogue is celebrated for, with the remarkably low 10W minimum meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes from even the most minimal amplifier power.

Pairing

The remarkably low 10W minimum makes the Opera Grand Mezza compatible with virtually any amplifier, including the most minimal single-ended triode designs, despite the demanding 4 ohm impedance.

Alternatives

Opera's own Opera Seconda sits above this model with somewhat greater scale, worth comparing directly to find the right Opera floorstanding tier.
