AudioSolutions Figaro M MK2 Speakers

The most successful speaker series ever among AudioSolutions products has been reborn. The visual change is quite significant as it became much more modern. Believe it or not, the cross-cut of the speaker stayed the same, just as the proportions and many other technical aspects which made Figaro (mk1) a superior speaker in its price range. New Figaro is not only a visual face-lift. Despite the previous version was indeed a ground-breaking speaker in the market, there still was a few things to make it even better, and after five years in production, we gathered enough information about changes we would like to make and launched a major update for this remarkable model. 

One of the most awaited updates by the customers is the outrigger system with spike support. Not only speaker will stand more stable but its footprint on the ground is minimized. Figaro was equipped with dedicated Bass drivers made by Sb Acoustics (compared to mid-bass units in the previous version). Sonic response and articulation improved noticeably. Updating Mini-Horn was not necessary but we made slight improvements in it as well. A slight difference in geometry gives a bit wider working range, especially in the very top band of the frequency. Crossovers were updated with thicker wire air-coils as well as a new PCB layout which has slightly less cross-talk. We still use WBT Next-Gen binding posts for Figaro and planning to add a second pair of binding posts to larger models to support Bi-Wiring or Bi-Amping.

Features:

The most important and biggest update is of course in the cabinet structure itself. In the previous version, we used a Self-Locking cabinet which was a breakthrough in our manufacturing and the first time introduced in Overture MK2 speakers 2015 11 06 during Warsaw Audio Video Show. It was a very promising technology that was developed further for more than three years. After updates in the Self-Locking cabinet, we introduced it in the Figaro MK1 speaker on 2018 02 06 and the final result was unbelievably good. After such success, we encouraged ourselves to think more out of the box and step even further. We quietly started to work with a completely different approach which does not bind the cabinet to one monomythical structure but rather has some plasticity between different mass and density surfaces which converts vibration energy to heat in the junction between two surfaces. This technology proved itself to have much more potential from the very first tests. After just about 1.5 years we already had a fully working new cabinet structure which we introduced in the Virtuoso series on 2019.05.01 it is called Cabinet-In-a-Cabinet (CIC) system. This system proved to have such a huge potential that we decided to stop developing a Self-Locking cabinet any further and sink ourselves into developing a Cabinet-In-a-Cabinet system. Figaro Mk2 right now features a fully functional Cabinet-In-a-Cabinet (CIC) enclosure directly taken from a much more expensive speaker series – Virtuoso. This is the major and most significant update for new Figaro speakers.

The new Figaro will be launched with highest “Bespoke” trim which includes six colors in satin and brushed metal gold-like accents on the front, sides and back. Later we will introduce “Standard” trim with four less vivid and more blending gloss colors without gold-like accents. We think “Standard” trim will be liked by people who would like to see their speakers more “in-phase” with all of their system, where “Bespoke” trim will definitely attract people who likes emphasizing things and contrasts in style.
