The french specialist of glass loudspeakers comes back with 2 new models, the Victoria EVO and the Iguascu EVO.

These speakers are said to have increased power handling, reduced distortion and low frequency extension.

Both EVO models use the LD150 medium (2x for Victoria EVO) and the SD20 tweeter.

Both models are available now and the price has been set at 2200€ for the Iguascu EVO and 2980€ for the Victoria EVO model.
