Opus 3 wins best speaker over $5000(aus) at the Audio & Video Lifestyle awards.
I can't really grumble about their performance - everything I tried sounded superb on these big floorstanders. The price puts them in the company of some elite loudspeaker designs and there's no shortage of esoteric alternatives. From this showing though, they've definitely got what it takes at this level..
The Opus 3, large format loudspeaker uses a large portion of technology derived from our flagship 'Airedale Heritage' (itself winner of the Stereo Sound Grand Prix). The three inch dome mid-range covering the entire vocal spectrum is a core feature throughout the opus range.
The Opus 3 figures speak for themselves. Maximum power handling is 300 watts RMS and the maximum SPL is a huge 116dB. They are efficient too, with sensitivity rated at 91dB and a nominal 6ohm impedance..
