Design
Kawero! comes custom-tailored to your needs. You can select from a great variety of veneers or colours of course – but its not only a matter of finish. Acoustic fine-tuning is individual and there are three custom woofers to choose from, so depending on the reverberation time of your listening room (and your listening preferences) we will select a matching woofer, tune the port frequencies and the midrange passive radiator to optimise the sound.
You can also consider the external crossover option which brings further significant improvements to the whole speaker package.
