The Feastrex field coil drivers represent the pinnacle of speaker driver design. Their use of the world’s finest handmade washi paper cones, lambskin leather surrounds, and a variety of extremely powerful electro-magnets, are already legendary. The Granada Loudspeaker takes advantage of their greatest strengths and augment those strengths so that a new previously unheard level of performance can be achieved.

Why mate a driver designed for full range performance with woofers? The Feastrex field coil drivers are a force to contend with. On their own, in a modest cabinet they will provide jaw dropping performance. Why then introduce more complexity to a loudspeaker designed for use by itself? Because in loudspeaker design, there is no free lunch: The box used to enhance the bass of a single driver, must necessarily add colorations even if benign, and a single 5″ driver with limited cone excursion can only produce so much bass. When massively driven by an uncompressed bass signal or orchestral crescendo, a single driver can only do so much before it will begin to distort or bottom out. This is in the nature of the ‘beast’ and comes with the territory. A confirmed single driver user will tell you that the compromise is worth it. This is not something we at all deny. In fact we embrace the single driver approach wholeheartedly, but in the case of the Granada we wanted to offer a speaker without limitations, or as close as humanly possible. In order to produce adequate bass in an open baffle, high excursion woofers are required. These woofers feature massive under-hung motors with a full copper sleeve on the pole. This insures extreme linearity and extremely low distortion. Each driver features dual 8 ohm voice coils with a high Q and low Fs for maximum power and efficiency.

The design objective realizes a shape that provides the best possible sound while fitting into a real world environment. Its proportions had to be pleasing and convey a sense of solidity as though the speaker itself had grown on the spot where it stands – monumental yet graceful.

The Granada delivers great purity, accuracy and delicacy with a sense of tremendous underlying power in reserve – while remaining utterly relaxed. The temptation to while away hour upon hour in listening will be great indeed.

When you choose the Granada you are choosing a combination of the finest in old world craftsmanship mated with the latest most advanced technologies. You are choosing an heirloom product that will bring enjoyment and pleasure for decades, backed by a commitment to highest quality, with no compromise throughout.

The Granada Loudspeaker can be priced between $59,500 and go to $155,000 depending on the final configuration.
