Meet Solano 2.0
Compact, Attractive, High-Performance
One vision, one claim, one design ... Three models! It doesn‘t matter if you listen to music in a classical stereo setup or watch a movie in surround, with the BS 283 bookshelf, the FS 287 floorstand and the CC 281 center-speaker, the SOLANO series provides the perfect tool for any room and setup.
Design Principles
Visual and Acoustic Harmony
The basic rectangular shape of the cabinet, that is made from solid MDF, is paired with a slightly curved front baffle and provided with large radiuses. This all leads to a compact but impressive appearance. All forms and materials lead to one harmonical picture. Understatement in shape and color: no focus on single elements, the focus points to the whole thing.
