The Midas is a compact floorstanding loudspeaker with an outstanding efficiency of 95 db. Thus, the Midas achieves a dynamic and fine detail that is rarely found in this price class. The Midas can be combined with a variety of transistor and tube amplifiers. This model is the right choice for demanding music lovers who are looking for a compact floorstanding loudspeaker that can be integrated into any living space, both technically and stylistically. The Midas is very versatile and with its pure design it looks stunning with every veneer and lacquer lacquer choice. The optimal combination and modification of drivers has made it possible to develop a loudspeaker without resistors.
Due to their different weight there is a difference in volume between tweeters and bass-midrange drivers. This volume offset is usually corrected by resistors in the crossover circuit. However, the use of resistors not only results in lower volume, but also in a loss of fine dynamics and resolution. By dispensing the use of resistors in the Midas, the tonal quality of the tweeter is completely preserved, which is expressed in a very pronounced fine detail reproduction. The Midas works with a downfire bass-reflex system in which the two bass-reflex tunnels of the Midas point downwards to the bottom plate of the speaker. The downward orientation of the reflex tunnels ensures easier acoustic integration into the living room. Every room has acoustic characteristics, so-called room modes. As a result, strong bass peaks often occur. The downfire bass-reflex system stimulates these room modes much less than conventional solutions in which the reflex port points backwards towards the rear wall of the room. The downfire bass-reflex system allows the speakers to be positioned close to the wall without bass exaggerations.
