30 YEARS AGO - IN 1979 - I COULD NOT FIND THE SPEAKER OF MY DREAMS. SO I HAD TO BUILD IT MYSELF. WITH THE R11 ARRETÉ, THE SITUATIONIS EXACTLY THE SAME. APART FROM LIVE MUSIC, I COULD NOT FIND ANY REFERENCE SPEAKER.SO I HAD TO BUILD IT MYSELF. THE R11 ARRETÉIS OUR GOALPOST FOR SOUND QUALITY FOR THE NEXT DECADE. AND IT IS THE SPEAKER I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

POWER, BEAUTY AND SOUL
ALL AUDIOVECTORS SINCE THE START IN 1979 ARE CHARACTERISED BY THE SAME INTELLIGENT PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY:AN UNRESTRICTED SOUND WITH NO LOSS OF DYNAMICS FROM LESS POWER INPUT
IN THE R11 ARRETÉ WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CONCEPT BEYOND THE EXCISTING BORDERS.
AUDIOVECTOR HAS PIONEERED THE LOW COMPRESSION CONCEPT TO ENSURE ABSOLUTE MUSICALITY AND TRANSPARENCE AT AL LEVELS.
