lifelike midrange transparency and an airy, extended treble define the Final Model 12, driven by its superlinear electrostatic panel and precise dipole imaging. Reviewers praise its usable low end to about 48 Hz and easy driveability with modest amps. Alpha Audio and ecoustics note sturdy, modern construction and long-term reliability in a striking, room-aware design.
Pros
- Highly transparent, detailed midrange and refined treble, delivering exceptional resolution and timbral accuracy.
- Precise dipole imaging and layered soundstage that benefit imaging and instrument placement.
- Surprisingly strong low-end for an electrostatic, reaching roughly 48 Hz for convincing bass weight.
- Robust, updated construction using modern plastics (PMMA/Teonex) and relatively light cabinets, designed for longevity and easier handling.
&
Cons
- Large physical presence and dipole behavior demand careful placement and some rear-wall treatment for best performance.
- Bass extension is impressive for an electrostatic but stops short of subwoofer depths, so a sub may be needed for very low-frequency content.
Sound Quality
92/100
Bass
91/100
Review notes the Model 12 plays down to ~48 Hz (review cites 45–48 Hz), and Final positions it as a (sort-of) full-range electrostatic. Given panel design and modest cabinet mass, bass extension is impressive for an electrostatic but not subwoofer deep; tight, authoritative for its class.
Mid
94/100
Multiple reviewer comments praise Final's improvements and 'ultimate insight' in the midrange; electrostatic panels are inherently strong in timbre and vocal presence. Construction and crossover parts (custom-wound C-core transformer, polypropylene caps) support accurate, coherent mids.
Treble
93/100
Electrostatic planar panel yields extended, refined treble and high resolution without reviewer complaints of harshness. The review highlights full-range electrostatic performance and very small horizontal dispersion, which preserves high-frequency detail and air.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
Reviewer emphasizes dipole behavior and strong forward/backward energy typical of electrostats; imaging benefits from that dipole character. Small horizontal dispersion means precise, well-layered images but requires careful placement and some rear-wall treatment for best results.
Dynamics
90/100
Reviewer reports the Model 12 does not demand a heavy amplifier and performed well with Pass/Bryston and a Yamaha A-S2200; tube amps from ~20 W are possible per Final. That suggests very good micro- and macro-dynamics and usable headroom for most listening situations.

Build Quality
92/100
Final uses new, robust plastics (PMMA, Teonex) and updated construction aimed at longevity; reviewer states they should play for decades without maintenance. The speakers are relatively light (17 kg each) yet feel well-engineered and easy to position.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive tower baseline applied. Review/spec lists 'custom 2-way binding posts' and conventional passive connectivity; no DSP/app/streaming required. Score capped at passive baseline per rules.
Value for Money
76/100
No price provided in the material; reviewers praise performance and engineering but do not assess price. Given unknown retail cost, a cautious, moderate score reflects strong performance tempered by missing pricing/peer-comparison data.
