Franco Serblin Accordo Goldberg
The birth of Accordo Goldberg
The chord is one of the foundations of music, essential for the tuning of a musical instrument. If we consider a large orchestra, a single instrument or a piece of music, without preconceptions, there is a chord at the base of it all. Voicing a speaker involves the tuning and harmonising of the different parts into something uniquely expressive and coherent: from the drivers to the crossover parts, from the cabinet to its support, the singularity of each element blends into a whole, a presence capable of giving to listeners the “quality of illusion”.
Accordo Goldberg
I consider the loudspeaker as a musical instrument, one that is able to deliver through the pleasure of listening the nuances, the details and intesity of the musical event. Through the ideal speaker, music realises its supremacy as an immersive art form.
The stand
Dedicated stand optional with metal parts of chrome aluminum.

- Bass is controlled and unusually deep for a standmount but not as deep as larger floorstanders—limited low‑end extension by design.
Sound Quality
93/100
Weighted average of sub-criteria below.
Bass
90/100
The 180mm woofer and rear-ported cabinet deliver bass that extends unusually low for a standmount (spec'd to ~39Hz) and is controlled and taut; reviewers note it is not the deepest compared with larger speakers but performs very well for its size. HiFi News and Audiophilepure both describe the larger woofer/ported enclosure and imply solid low-end without claiming floorstander levels.
Mid
95/100
Multiple reviewers praise an exceptionally natural, life-like midband and superb timbre for voice, piano and violin; terms used include 'superbly natural', 'silkiness' and 'sonic masterpiece', indicating top-tier midrange clarity and timbral accuracy.
Treble
94/100
Treble is described as silky, non-aggressive and refined, delivering detail without glare or sibilance; reviewers repeatedly note a smooth, authoritative top end that is pleasingly resolved.
Soundstage Imaging
95/100
Consistently lauded for wide, deep and well-focused imaging — reviewers report perfectly formed dioramas, precise placement of performers and intense image focus, giving a convincing sense of space and depth.
Dynamics
92/100
Excellent microdynamic retrieval and convincing pace/rhythm/timing; while not the loudest in class, reviewers praise tactile microdynamics and the speakers' ability to play with authority at higher levels.

Build Quality
97/100
Hand-crafted, super-rigid solid-wood, arch-shaped cabinets with aluminium-magnesium decoupling and polished metal accents receive superlative praise ('most beautifully made and finished', 'hand-crafted by master artisans'); reviewers emphasize outstanding fit, finish and material selection.
Features Connectivity
82/100
Passive standmount baseline applied. Rear-ported enclosure and the unusual decision to place crossover components in the optional/mandatory stands are noted; the speakers are passive single-post designs (baseline 80) with OEM stand/support engineering raising the practical connectivity/installation value modestly.
Value for Money
91/100
Reviewers argue the speakers deliver more satisfaction than many larger, costlier systems and state they are 'worth every penny'; HiFi News recalculates total cost with mandatory stands yet still calls them 'worth every penny', supporting an explicit positive value judgment versus peers at the price point.
