The Palladian features a hand hammered Timet 1100 Titanium body of unequalled strength and with an unparalleled ability to transfer energy. In the palladian we find a strong heart with more energy (coil windings), a body more agile with less inertia (reduced moving mass), featuring further a very special, subtle mix of small measures taken to fine tune each and every parameter of performance allowing for a sonic explosion beyond our expectations and hopes.

The hand hammered body, the quicksilverish shine like a dragon’s skin – The Palladian Timet 1100 body expresses visually its agility, vital dynamic and live-likeness.

The Palladian brings that spark of live back into the sonic presentation of each and every recording. That spark of live – independent whether large or small – that was there when the performance was once captured.

The Palladian is fast, live-like dynamic and breathtaking direct in its color, immediateness and agility. An incredible agile, dynamic dancer – a reminiscent of Misha Baryshnikov in his prime.

It is subtle, tender and sublime – yet frightening dynamic, with a sonic punch both wall-shaking and stunning physical in its impact.
