The Mordaunt Short Aviano follows on from the enormously successful Avant range and features a raft of technical enhancements from the Mordaunt Short Performance speakers.
The Mordaunt Short Aviano 8 is their range-topping floorstanding speaker that has been designed to combine the ultimate bass response with high precision sound. Featuring the latest generation CPC (Continuous Profile Cone) aluminium woofers, the Aviano 8 has that characteristic detail and crispness throughout the mid-range and bass. Helping the sonic precision and dynamic response even further is a new woofer brace. This internal cabinet bracing not only strengthens the cabinet but also supports the woofers, allowing them to perform to their very best ability. Mordaunt Short has paid particular attention to driver matching for a more cohesive sound. For this reason, the aluminium tweeter features a revised mounting plate for a more seamless integration with the mid-range woofer. The cabinet itself is incredibly rigid for this class of speaker, internally braced and made from high density MDF. It gives the drive units the best support possible and manages not to contribute its own "voice" to the sound quality in a detrimental way. As you'd expect, a high quality, bi-wirable crossover features that enables you to improve the sound still further.
In terms of sound quality, the Aviano 8 uses twin bass woofers and a separate mid-range unit to provide outstanding bass response with an unsullied mid-range. Vocals remain expressive and cleanly presented, yet the bass response is in a different league to the rest of the range and, in fact, most of its similarly priced rivals. If you've got a reasonably sized room and you want the full Aviano experience, then you need look no further.
