SVS was chosen as the official subwoofer partner of Reel Sound Distribution for high-end audio manufacturer Metaxas & Sins, bringing low-frequency support for the new Prinz electrostatic speaker model. According to SVS, Metaxas & Sins creates loudspeakers and other audio gear that straddle the line between technology and art with striking designs they refer to as “high-end audio sculptures.”
Founded by artist, recording engineer, and audio designer Kostas Metaxas, each speaker is built by hand in the Netherlands. The company’s vision is to introduce decorative objects with remarkable personality and disruptive aesthetics while providing a sonic experience that makes the user feel as if they are attending a live concert.
“Kostas has not previously partnered his speakers with a subwoofer due to the inherent challenges of matching panel to sub. SVS subwoofer’s superior performance, now allows us to offer a pairing that will please even the most critical of audiophiles. The result is an electrostatic speaker system of unparalleled performance and beauty,” says Jeff Garshon, president of Reel Sound Distribution, the exclusive distributor of Metaxas & Sins products in the United States.
As part of the partnership, custom equalization presets will be created for specific SVS subwoofers to seamlessly blend added low-frequency output with Metaxas & Sins new speakers. The compact SVS 3000 Micro subwoofer will be paired with the Prinz at $22,000.
Electrostatic speakers are known for their ability to render sonic fidelity and start-and-stop-on-a-dime transient response which requires highly capable subwoofers. SVS subwoofers, especially sealed cabinet models like the 3000 Micro are known for delivering accurate output that extends below the threshold of human audibility while remaining controlled and musical.
