Lyrita Audio

Horn Speakers

Lyrita’s tube amplifiers are all low powered amps. For them to perform to their potential, high sensitivity speakers, with sensitivity above 95 dB/watt, are required to complete the system.

Horns are the best choice to achieve this sensitivity. Tubes and horns work very well together, bringing music alive.

There are more reasons for using horns:

- their high sensitivity reproduces the full dynamics of music, at lower distortion that other loudspeaker systems.

- horns reproduce the midbass impact and richness inherent in music.

- large horn systems give the sense of scale recorded in large music ensembles.

Horns have been available, but in the professional audio world. Lyrita’s horn speakers are designed to fit into the home. The drivers are borrowed from professional audio, for their high sensitivities. Unique is the compression driver which has to be mated with a horn.
