Charisma Audio Caprisse Bookshelf Speakers

Design:

Design characteristics of the Caprisse include special resistive reflex tuning, good sensitivity, a
superbly transparent and fast midrange from hand-built drivers, an extended listening zone, ultra-precise three-dimensional imaging, and superior integration and balance of sound from top to bottom.

The Caprisse is not extremely power-hungry, but it needs very high-quality amplification in the 25W to 100W range. Good care is needed in setting the speakers up correctly in the listening room, to get the best possible results.

The Caprisse should preferably be used in rooms of an area between 40-50m2 and 100-150m3. The axis of the 2 speakers should be crossed 0.5m to 1m in front of the central listener. The two speakers should be separated by 3 to 5 meters.
