Soundfield Audio Obelisk T710

Schneider cites a 40Hz–22kHz response within ±2dB and a -6dB point of 20Hz, while referring to Hans Wetzel’s description of the system as “a legitimately full-range speaker system.” The combination of deep stated extension and dedicated low-frequency drivers suggests substantial bass reach, though the review does not provide detailed comments on texture, control, or room interaction.

The review calls the overall sound exceptional, but does not directly discuss vocal naturalness, tonal color, instrumental timbre, or crossover coherence. There is therefore little listener-focused evidence about the midrange specifically.

A planar-magnetic tweeter is identified in the system description, but Schneider does not describe treble openness, detail, smoothness, air, or any tendency toward brightness. The available review gives little direct guidance on high-frequency performance.

The Obelisk offers Narrow, Wide, and Omni dispersion modes, which alter how sound is radiated into the room. However, the review does not report the resulting stage width, depth, image focus, or placement behavior in listening terms.

The active three-channel amplification and multi-driver arrangement are described, but the review does not address impact, headroom, transient expression, or composure at high volume. Direct evidence on dynamic performance is limited.

The review describes a substantial 70-pound active loudspeaker with five drivers per cabinet, integrated amplification, and an unusually elaborate front, rear, and downward-firing driver layout. It does not offer a direct appraisal of cabinet finish, fit and finish, terminals, or long-term durability.

At $15,000 per pair, the Obelisk T710 is a premium purchase, but Schneider says its innovative approach and resulting sound make it “worth seeking out.” The review does not make direct price comparisons with competing speakers, so its value case rests mainly on the distinctive active, variable-directivity design and strong show-listening impression.
