When Val Cora finally decided to turn his passion into Acora Acoustics, he spared no expense. Everything was examined and painstakingly tested:
Drivers
The best soft dome ring radiator tweeter was chosen for its incredible speed, clarity and transparency. It was then custom modified in-house for this specific speaker. And there is NO RESISTOR in the signal path!! This means the signal going to the tweeter is pure and unadulterated. It also means the tweeter is incredibly rugged!
The 5.5" midrange/woofer driver was chosen after testing hundreds of options. This custom-voiced driver uses a special sandwich/paper composite which gives it the rigidity, speed and natural harmonics.
Crossover
Crossover parts are chosen for their sound and performance. The crossover is designed for perfect phase alignment and driver integration, it allows each component to perform at its best — with effortless coherence and dynamic ease. Internally, the layout is optimized for signal purity and mechanical isolation. This is why the speakers can go so low, play so loud and effortlessly in huge rooms!
Enclosure
The vast majority of speakers use wood or MDF. Some use Aluminum or composite material. Acora tried them all and rejected them. Ultimately, only Stone had the hardness, density and rigidity to allow the drivers to perform at their best. The QRB uses Granite, the hardest and densest natural stone known to man. By using Granite, the enclosure holds the drivers rigidly so that only the cones resonate, thus giving the most accurate and neutral performance. No cabinet resonance to color the sound
Also, because the stone is so rigid, there is no need for internal bracing, thus allowing maximum internal volume for the best bass depth and power for such a small speaker
Rated sensitivity is 86.5 dB, 8 ohms, which means it is quite easy to drive. If you've heard Acora at shows, you know that the speakers are always in huge rooms, yet there is no strain at all, even with tube amplifiers.
I remember very clearly the first time I heard Acora speakers at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio Show. The huge room was divided into 2 listening sections by room dividing cloth. Each section was still very large. The little SRB speakers sounded MUCH bigger and filled the room very easily. The SRC2 blew me away with its speed, leading edge like a superb electrostatic speaker, but with full range bass. The imaging was sharp with outrageously huge sound stage.
I was sold. After years of hoping, I had finally found a truly world class Canadian speaker with NO Apologies! One that EASILY competes with the very best.
Don't take my word for it. Just search "Acora" online and see the multitudes of reviews and show reports. Acora gets "Best Sound of the Show" almost every time.
Here's what Grover Neville of Part Time Audiophile said:
"On the first listen, I heard a speaker which melted away my conceptions of flat frequency response, dynamic capability, speed or other characteristics, and which I felt put me in my place. This is what music is supposed to sound like, was what the Acora SRBs seemed to say. It was not the experience of a clearer window. Rather, it was as if I had been listening to music through boomboxes my entire life and now I was hearing a proper stereo system. I tend to shy away from audiophile cliches when I can, but the Acoras really do bring me back to being a novice and they have convinced me that there is more to learn, more to hear and more to know about sound."
Notes:
1. Canadian buyers please add the appropriate tax
2. Buyer pays shipping and all associated import costs. The speakers with stands weigh about 100 lbs each before boxing
