"The
Living Voice Vox Olympian represents the embodiment of an
individual ideal of excellence. Rightly so, for our personal
individuality, and that of those who inspire, move and touch us
should be something to be celebrated, cherished, and ultimately
treasured.
Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the reproduced works of
music of the world’s great artists.
Music starts where words end. The best music – in itself a hugely
personal judgement – has an ability to touch the human spirit and
reveal the depths of our soul like no other art form. It can alter
our mood, lift our spirits, evoke wonderful memories and great
passion, conjure cinematic imagery, energise us and remind us of our
very mortality.
The Vox Olympian, then, above all else, is a celebration.
This
loudspeaker has been a huge undertaking; two decades of evolution
and learning, five years of intensive prototyping and development.
It is about passion and understanding: a synthesis of the objective,
and the intuitive. The Vox Olympian is a distillation of
everything that I personally value in musical experience.
The ambition was to create a work of art
in the true sense, with every aspect considered as part of a
harmonious balance — a blend of natural geometric forms fabricated
from intrinsically beautiful materials. Synthesising artisanal
furniture-making technique with precision engineering, it possesses
an old world value system where uncompromised quality is the
principal driving force. |
But most
importantly, it is a creation able to transport you to individual,
resonant, emotional worlds, creating a seamless musical experience
peerless in its artistic persuasion.
Each pair of Vox Olympians is a unique product, built to order in
the woods and finishes of your individual preference, or as
specified by your interior designer. The finish levels include: a
rustic, oiled, unsealed open wood grain with matt lustre; classic
sealed open-grain with low satin lustre; hand-rubbed full-grain
French polish with opulent yet elegant 30% gloss and finally, beyond
these traditional artisan based techniques, you can specify opaque,
high build polyester lacquers in any colour of your choosing with a
lustre level ranging from matt to full gloss.
As part
of the bespoke service, each pair of Vox Olympians sold anywhere in
the world will be optimised, in-situ, for maximum performance in
their given environment by their designer.
Is this the world’s best loudspeaker? In truth, it’s not for us to
say, we prefer to leave it for others to others to judge."
