Franco Serblin Accordo Essence Floorstanding Loudspeakers

The Franco Serblin Accordo Essence takes the musical philosophy of the original Accordo and expands it into a full-size, three-way floorstanding loudspeaker.

The idea behind Accordo has always been harmony. Every part of the loudspeaker—the drivers, crossover, cabinet and structure—is carefully voiced to work together rather than drawing attention to any single element.

Accordo Essence brings that philosophy to a larger design capable of greater scale, deeper bass and a more commanding presentation while retaining the elegance and musical character that define Franco Serblin.

A Three-Way Floorstanding Accordo

Accordo Essence uses a three-way vented architecture built around three carefully selected drivers.

High frequencies are handled by a 29mm silk-dome tweeter designed by legendary transducer designer Ragnar Lian.

A custom 150mm microsphere-cone midwoofer handles the critical midrange, while a dedicated 180mm microsphere-cone woofer with an aluminum dust cap extends the speaker's low-frequency performance.

Together, they give Accordo Essence an in-room frequency response extending down to 35Hz.

Handcrafted Solid-Wood Cabinet

The cabinet is unmistakably Franco Serblin.

Its super-rigid, arch-shaped solid-wood structure is handcrafted by master artisans and decoupled using aluminum-magnesium components to help control unwanted resonance.

The flowing shape isn't there simply to make the speaker beautiful. The structure, materials and geometry are all part of the acoustic design.

Accordo Essence is available in:

• Solid Walnut with Chrome and Aluminum
• Graphite with Chrome and Aluminum

It's the kind of loudspeaker that can become part of the architecture and furniture of a room rather than looking like another piece of audio equipment.

Phase-Coherent Crossover

The crossover was developed to preserve the spatial information contained within a recording.

Its phase-coherent design provides accurate transitions between the drivers with the goal of creating precise soundstaging, focus and image depth.

Premium crossover components are selected as part of the overall voicing of the loudspeaker.

This attention to phase, driver integration and cabinet behavior is central to what makes a Franco Serblin speaker sound so coherent.

Designed Around Music

Accordo Essence wasn't created by simply making the original Accordo bigger.

It's the result of extensive listening, refinement and tuning.

That's an important distinction.

Franco Serblin loudspeakers have always approached speaker design much like the construction of a musical instrument. Materials, proportions and individual components matter, but ultimately they have to come together as one.

The goal isn't simply accuracy on paper.

It's creating the illusion that the musicians are actually there.
