Напольная акустика — Audio Physic CARDEAS

The Cardeas is a large floorstanding loudspeaker from Audio Physic, sitting well above the Classic line as a substantial tower available in either wood or glass cabinet construction. Positioned for buyers wanting considerable scale and bass authority, the Cardeas represents a meaningful step up in both size and ambition from Audio Physic's more accessible models.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 25Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, a deep low-frequency extension reflecting the substantial cabinet volume this design commands. Sensitivity is 89dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 40-350W - considerably higher than Audio Physic's Classic-series models, reflecting the greater scale of drivers this cabinet houses. At 128 x 25 x 43cm, weight varies by cabinet material - 59kg for the wood-cabinet version, rising to 63kg for the glass-cabinet variant.

Sound and use context

Expect the transparent, spacious character Audio Physic's engineering consistently pursues, scaled to genuine large-room authority - the considerable cabinet mass and careful resonance control typical of the brand's approach should let the deep 25Hz extension translate into real musical weight rather than boom, while retaining the imaging precision Audio Physic speakers are known for.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the wide 40-350W recommended range calls for an amplifier with genuine current delivery and headroom, particularly toward the upper end of that range for the largest rooms this speaker is likely to be used in.

Alternatives

Audio Physic's Avanti sits below this model as a somewhat more compact floorstanding alternative sharing the same core design philosophy, worth considering instead if the Cardeas' considerable scale, weight and power requirements exceed what a specific room calls for. Buyers considering the Cardeas should also budget for adequate room treatment and amplifier headroom given the demanding combination of size, impedance and power range this speaker calls for. Careful attention to speaker cable gauge is also worth considering given the current demands a 4 ohm load of this scale places on the amplifier-to-speaker connection. A dealer audition remains the best way to judge whether the wood or glass cabinet variant better suits both the acoustic character and aesthetic preference of a specific listening room.
