The Diva of the Bookshelf: Opera Callas

Named for one of opera's immortal voices, the Opera Callas sets out to do the same job a great singer does — move you. This handcrafted Italian two-way bookshelf speaker marries innovative design with impeccable acoustics, producing crystalline highs, balanced mids, and deep, resonant lows from a cabinet that looks as splendid as it sounds. Don't let the bookshelf label fool you: the Callas delivers power and presence that belie its size.

Engineered for Purity

At the Callas's core is a 7-inch long-throw woofer with a re-cooked polypropylene cone and phase plug, paired with a 1-inch Scanspeak 9700 tweeter — running without ferrofluid and with a double decompression chamber for open, natural highs. A carefully tuned rear-ported cabinet and a refined crossover keep distortion low and tonal balance true to the source, whether you're playing classical, rock, or cinematic soundtracks. Bi-wiring is supported for those who want to fine-tune every last detail.

A Luxurious Object in Any Room

Opera finishes the Callas the way an Italian house should — with a refined leather-clad cabinet and meticulous attention to detail that makes it a genuine visual centrepiece. Compact enough for easy placement, elegant enough to earn its spot on display.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier suits the Opera Callas?

The Callas is an easy load at 89 dB sensitivity and 4-ohm nominal impedance (minimum above 3 ohms), and Opera notes it works from as little as 10 watts RMS — though a quality amplifier with headroom will let it sing.

Does the Callas need stands?

Yes — it's a stand-mount bookshelf speaker and sounds its best on dedicated stands that place the tweeter near ear height, with a little room to breathe from the rear-firing port.

Can I bi-wire the Opera Callas?

Yes, the Callas supports bi-wiring, letting you run separate cable runs to the high- and low-frequency sections if your amplifier and cables allow.
