Elba 2

Bringing high end sound to your home

The newly improved Elba 2 is a great all-round speaker which combines power with grace for an exciting audiophile listening experience.

The engineering challenge behind the new Elba 2 was to put in our entry level model the same enthusiasm, design expertise and innovation that we put in our higher-end speakers so as to give the listener the pleasure of a real high-end acoustic experience.

Made in Italy with exceptional craftsmanship, the Elba Series 2 features custom-designed drivers, engineered exclusively for this model. It includes dual 6.5” woofers with coated fiberglass cones for optimal stiffness and damping, paired with a refined motor system that minimizes power compression. The vented loading design places aluminum-damped ports directly behind each woofer, reducing time delay and enhancing bass extension and control. A 26mm wide-surround silk dome tweeter, powered by a double magnet, delivers extended high frequencies up to 40kHz with excellent off-axis dispersion.

Beyond its high-quality drivers, the Elba Series 2 benefits from a meticulously designed crossover, ensuring a coherent frequency response both vertically and horizontally. This advanced network drastically reduces impedance variations, making the speaker highly compatible with a wide range of amplifiers. It features high-end audio-grade capacitors exclusively customized for Rosso by ClarityCap, proprietary Italian-made inductors, and precision thick-film resistors—components that reinforce the crossover’s uncompromising quality.

The beautifully finished enclosure, handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans, follows Rosso Fiorentino’s signature multi-layer construction technique. This method strategically combines materials with different mechanical properties, achieving the perfect balance between rigidity and damping to minimize unwanted resonances. The result is an elegant yet acoustically optimized floor-stander that blends seamlessly into any living space while delivering a powerful and refined high-end sound.
