Pneuma
Pneuma means spirit, a
breath of wind (gentle blast), a name we believe is very appropriate. We wanted to develop a speaker that was leaner
than our Psuche and Rhapsody specifically because we understand that aesthetics
in any modern home is very important. However we did not want to compromise on
the quality of sound, specifically the bass that is often hard to reproduce
accurately if at all in a small speaker.
With this in mind we
had some changes made to our bass woofers that allowed them to extend lower in
a smaller chamber. However a natural result of this is a slight loss of
efficiency, to compensate we had them designed to work in pairs so we could make
up for this small loss. The result is nothing short of remarkable. The bass is
big, tight and very accurate reflecting the sine wave of even the bottom B of a
bass guitar. Something a lot of speakers never come close to doing.
One of the amazing
benefits of going to the leaner cabinet is that standing waves are further
reduced around the outside at both the back and front of the cabinet. The
improvement in detail and imaging because of this narrow aerodynamic profile
has further enhanced the capabilities of these remarkable speakers.
The combination of curves, lean back, narrow
elegant design and handcrafted quality make the Pneuma Kardia’s the perfect
choice for any Home Theatre or critical two channel music listener. The centre
speaker surrounds and subwoofer from either the Psallo theatre or the Psuche theatre
will pair very nicely to make an outstanding home theatre system.
