View at Xavian

While our original Madre Perla was “just” a column version of the Perla Esclusiva, the new generation of the Madre Perla Esclusiva is a fully-fledged, more mature model that adopts the same compact, attractive proportions in a 2.5-way form with one extra mid-bass driver and a larger internal working chamber for improved dynamics.


The hand-crafted rigid oak cabinets have been retained, as has the Natura range’s characteristic organic design, inspired by the basic principles of nature – subtle and clean lines, but with rounded edges that serve not only aesthetics but also the best possible sound reproduction.


Available in cognac, dark oak, light oak, high-gloss black, high-gloss white and marina.


The Madre Perla mid-bass has been retained, but now doubled, and the Scan-Speak tweeter, which found its way here from the more expensive models of the higher Armonia series, is completely new.


The crossovers have been completely redesigned from the ground up, now more transparent and fitted with even better components.


The aim, of course, is still to maintain the original mission of the Perla Esclusiva and Madre Perla models – to offer music in its organic, lively and colourful essence, bigger than the dimensions suggest.


EXCLUSIVE SOLUTIONS:

  • combination of carefully selected custom AudioBarletta and Scan-Speak drivers
  • handcrafted, very rigid and stable solid oak construction
  • organic, timeless and classic shapes
  • bottom section filled with 4 kg of sand for maximum stability and resonance suppression
  • six finishes available
  • front bassreflex for easy installation
  • can be levelled on any floor thanks to the practical levellers
  • sophisticated internal damping in several complementary layers

Rating for [object Object]

Deliciously Crispy

Compact but punchy, the Madre Perla Esclusiva delivers astonishingly precise imaging and lifelike mids, with a surprisingly tight low end that often removes the need for a sub — a point echoed by Wall of Sound and HiFi Advice. Handmade solid-oak 'Mosaik' cabinets and upgraded crossover parts deliver refined build and an engaging, dynamic presentation.

Wall of Sound

"If you like a speaker that ‘disappears’, you’ve come to the right place."

Pros

  • Exceptional imaging and very natural, lifelike midrange and vocals, making vocals and acoustic instruments especially convincing.
  • Surprisingly tight, extended bass for a compact standmount — reviewers often noted it can deliver full-range impact without a sub.
  • Premium build and finish: solid Italian oak 'Mosaik' cabinetry, improved terminals and upgraded crossover components give outstanding fit-and-finish.

&

Cons

  • Long break-in reported — reviewers noted the speakers can take hundreds of hours to fully open up.
  • On very dense, complex passages the crossover region can reveal slight loss or masking of upper detail, audible to trained listeners.

Sound Quality

93/100

Bass

94/100

Dual 150mm woofers in a 2.5-way front-ported cabinet with sand-filled chamber. Reviews repeatedly praise unexpectedly deep, tight, and plentiful bass and state 'no sub needed' with strong test-tone response down to ~50Hz; maps to the mid-tower band 'excellent' range.

Mid

93/100

Multiple reviewers describe coherent, lifelike mids and natural vocal timbre (piano voiced 'rich and woody', Belafonte/Bocelli lifelike). Small, occasionally audible crossover transition noted but overall midband cohesion is excellent.

Treble

91/100

Custom 26mm Scan-Speak silk dome praised for air and detail; Wall of Sound calls upper frequencies 'magical.' EnjoyTheMusic notes slight treble / upper detail loss under complex low-mid/bass passages, tempering a perfect score.

Soundstage Imaging

94/100

Reviewers cite first-rate imaging, excellent detail retrieval and an enveloping but focused soundstage; instruments and applause are described as very well placed and lifelike.

Dynamics

90/100

Observers celebrate speed, transparency and punch ('can boogie and party'); however one review notes cohesiveness can falter on very complex passages, indicating very strong but not absolute reference-level dynamics.

Build Quality

96/100

Solid oak 'Mosaik' cabinetry, cured wood, internal bracing, bitumen damping and sand-filled chamber cited; finish and premium touches (engraved posts, embedded pearl) support an outstanding build impression.

Features Connectivity

80/100

Passive tower baseline applied: single pair of quality binding posts; nominal impedance 4Ω and 90dB sensitivity noted. No DSP/app/streaming — appropriate for a passive speaker.

Value for Money

94/100

Reviewers explicitly call the speaker 'an enormous value' and one reviewer intends to purchase a pair. Review prices cited (~€1,990 / $2,250) make the performance-to-price ratio excellent.
