Duetta, a floorstanding loudspeaker with Eton drivers and Air Motion Transformer
taken from K+T 1/2002: superior to Triola and, therefore, K+T reference speaker

Duetta
Technical data:
- impedance: 4 Ohm
- SPL: 86 dB
- frequency range (-3dB): 50-22.000 Hz
- crossover frequencies: 120 Hz, 3 kHz
- size (HxWxD): 117 x 35 x 49 cm

This big 3 way bass reflex speaker is a beautiful design: The cabinet is braced to prevent vibration (pictured below right).

Duetta is a reference project by Heinz Schmitt from K+T and a yardstick for future developments.

Review by Klang+Ton: Duetta
... "There are many loudspeakers around that reproduce music in an impressive manner. But the hands down approach and the matter of course displayed by the Duetta surpassed our expectations and hopes by far. A singer just breathes without any asthmatic noise before intonating and the Bremen Philharmonics didn't tear up their sheet of music when paging like suggested by many other speakers. Bass reproduction did do more than justice to the standard of quality. Low frequencies were only audible when passed on by the amplifier, but then with awe-inspiring pressure and fascinating precision. No annoying, permanent booming rumble disturbed the joy of music. ...The ER4 gave the most lasting impression. Highest frequencies have rarely been reproduced so differentiated, harmonically and airy, with such clearly structured details, but without being a nuisance."
