Pros
Exceptionally coherent, natural and articulate midrange with convincing instrumental timbre.
Wide, expansive, larger-than-expected soundstage with room-filling scale.
Smooth, glare-free treble and strong timing support relaxed, unfatiguing long-term listening.
Dynamic, immediate presentation with enough punch and power for rock and high listening levels.
Cons
Deepest bass is gently limited; listeners focused on EDM, organ music or the lowest octave may want more extension.
Softer treble focus trades away some leading-edge definition and forensic detail.
Dedicated bases are considered essential for the intended down-firing driver performance.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 91/100
Reviews portray the Aviator Amelia as an unusually coherent, musically communicative loudspeaker, combining natural tone with an effortless, unforced presentation. Its character favours timbre, flow and long-term listening comfort over aggressively spotlighting recording artifacts, while retaining convincing scale, punch and transparency.
Bass
89/100
The Ear found the low end detailed, textured and well defined, with satisfying fullness, control and weight on much material. It does not reach into the very lowest octave, however, and one bass line was less full and punchy than through the best comparable floorstanders.
Mid
95/100
The midrange drew especially strong praise for its natural, open and articulate presentation, with convincing instrumental timbre. The Ear highlighted piano delicacy, body, resonance and dynamic expression as being as persuasive as it had heard from any speaker, while Audiophilepure heard smooth, vivid naturalism.
Treble
89/100
Reviewers describe a smooth, glare-free top end that supports relaxed, unfatiguing listening and is kind to poorer recordings. The presentation is slightly softer in focus than some rivals, trading a little leading-edge definition for refinement and ease.
Soundstage Imaging
91/100
The Amelia produces a wide, expansive and notably large soundstage, keeping complex mixes sufficiently clean to follow individual instruments and effects. Audiophilepure also found it sounded larger than its physical dimensions suggest, with a room-filling, somewhat omni-like spread, though it stops short of a true omnidirectional presentation.
Dynamics
93/100
Timing is described as a major strength across the frequency range, and The Ear found the speaker capable of real dynamic energy and power with rock music. Audiophilepure similarly praised its immediacy and punch, reporting that it filled a large room easily at high levels.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
91/100
Reviewers note considerable care in the Amelia's design and construction, including bespoke locally produced drive units, in-house CNC cabinet work and locally sourced walnut. The walnut side panels and HDF enclosure give it a distinctive, carefully finished appearance, although The Ear considers the optional bases essential.
Value for Money
95/100
At roughly $7,590 / £7,298 and above depending on finish and market, reviewers regard the Amelia as highly competitive among premium floorstanders. The Ear called it one of the finest speakers available at its price point, while Audiophilepure felt similarly priced alternatives could readily deliver inferior sound.

Manufacturer's Description — Chario
3 WAYS FLOORSTANDING
A distinctive and unmistakable shape, pure acoustic emotion — a loudspeaker that rekindles the authentic pleasure of listening. Slim yet powerful, it embodies the elegance and strength of the woman to whom it is dedicated.
Among the most refined acoustic interpretations of the line, it offers a spacious and airy sound, enhanced by the solid cabinet structure that ensures a stable and impeccable foundation for its drivers.
Voices and acoustic instruments come alive with surprising naturalness, delivering a listening experience that is both realistic and deeply engaging.
A loudspeaker with a musical soul, whose sculptural form seduces the eyes as much as its sound enchants the ears.
HARMONY IN LINE
AMELIA, WHERE REFINED DESIGN MEETS UNCOMPROMISING SOUND PERFORMANCE
Thanks to the use of classic yet modern, cutting-edge materials, Amelia naturally integrates into any environment, both aesthetically, thanks to the refined simplicity of its lines, and acoustically, thanks to the flawless sound reproduction it can deliver.
Amelia impresses with the quality of its performance, completely free from any forced interpretation, and with its elegant, streamlined lines.
A floorstanding speaker whose performance far exceeds its compact and well-proportioned dimensions. Amelia, like all products in the Aviator line, is crafted from solid walnut wood of Italian origin.
SOUND WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Innovation, premium materials, and Italian craftsmanship at the service of the listening experience
The 130 mm drivers, positioned at the bottom and on the rear of the speaker, allow Amelia to achieve wide extension and greater dynamic capacity. This arrangement reduces the workload of the front drivers, increasing articulation and detail while significantly reducing listening fatigue.
The rear and bottom drivers optimize overall performance thanks to our proprietary technologies and carefully studied driver placement. The choice of materials and finishes, as well as the entire manufacturing process, is entirely carried out in Italy at our facilities. All speaker cabinets are built in our woodworking workshops, following a handcrafted production process.
Each model features a cabinet designed as an integral part of the acoustic performance: every structure contributes to the global energy emission pattern, in perfect harmony with the design of the drivers, crossovers, and interaction with the environment, ensuring a natural and immersive listening experience.
