The Opera loudspeaker brand has been folded into its sister company Unison Research and the Malibran represents the ultimate incarnation of the company's theories. Maria Malibran was a 19th century English mezzo-soprano whose name is still revered in Italy. In an attempt to emulate her skills this speaker has four tweeters in a linked dipole array at the back and bass drivers that fire inwards only, alongside the drivers you see on the narrow front baffle. The speaker weighs in at 100 kilos and is said not to need spikes - which will be a relief for the floorboards.
