MARSHALL CHOONG AUDIO audiophile loudspeakers - SEGOVIA TRUENO 38 DIPOLE SYSTEM

Andres Segovia was born 1899 in Andalucia. He alone was responsible for elevating the almost forgotten guitar to the same status as traditional classical instruments. He perfected the modern technique which has been handed down to the current generation of virtuosi.

Segovia has endowed the guitar with a vast heritage and a prodigious wolume of transcriptions of classical works.

Trueno is Spanish for thunder.

SEGOVIA TRUENO 38 is our reference: a true 20 - 40kHz response 4 way speaker system.

SEGOVIA features a pure ribbon tweeter, aluminium midrange and upper bass with a passive crossover. A stereo amplifier of 50 - 100W RMS is recommended.

Segovia crosses over electronically at 130Hz to the Trueno 38 Bass at 36dB/octave.

TRUENO 38 uses a 380mm aluminium driver. This driver is truly long throw, with ±23mm Xmax, necessary to move sufficient air for realistic bass.

A second stereo amplifier of 100 - 300W RMS is required. The two Trueno bass units can also be powered from a mono bass amplifier of 200 - 500W RMS: in the latter configuration, the electronic crossover sums the bass output.
