The Lyritech Magic 10 Gaelano Plus loudspeakers are designed to provide outstanding sound quality, conveying to the listener the essence of sound events with remarkable accuracy and realism. The Lyritech Magic 10 Galeano Plus floorstanding speakers are based on the company's full-range divers with 10” diffusers - hence the ten in the model name.
Thanks to the sensitivity of 98 dB and impedance of 8 Ohms, these speakers can be easily used even with tube amplifiers. The enclose design made of selected wood ensures not only excellent acoustic characteristics of the speakers, but also durability and an exquisite appearance.
The Magic series also has a junior model, the Magic 8, with an 8” driver. The absence of traditional filters allows these speakers to provide excellent phase characteristics, resulting in a clear, uncolored sound. Lyritech Magic 10 Galeano Plus speakers are now available for purchase at the recommended price 9,200 euros.
