The new floorstander model from Ophidian called the Incanto is now with us and fully run-in. It has very much the trade mark Ophidian sound that drew us to invest in the superb flagship Voodoo.

A smaller cabinet size makes the Incanto more suitable for smaller to medium size rooms but still capable a portraying exceptionally large and deep soundstages. With correct room placement and commensurate electronics and cabling, the sound picture is vast, way beyond the boundaries of the cabinets. Layering backwards from the speakers, the sound is never forward or bright, but with excellent clarity allowing the detail and dynamics of the music to be portrayed with astonishing realism. Even played loud, the speakers never become “shouty”, distorted, or lose their composure. They can be listened to for extended periods without fatigue.
