The Envoy is a new stand or shelf mounted loudspeaker available in either veneer or vinyl finish. The side porting of these reflex loaded loudspeakers makes them room friendly and easy to site.The Envoy is designed to reproduce all styles of music with power and emotion, without compromising the wealth of detail available within each performance.

The accuracy with which The Envoy handles complicated rhythms and detail demonstrates these advances. The Envoy will make a rewarding addition to any high fidelity system.
