The AudioSolutions Figaro XL2 is the evolution of the XL model released more than six years ago.

Designed and made in Lithuania, the new speakers are the largest of the Figaro MK2 range.
DRIVERS
The Figaro XL2 features an upgraded mini-horn loading tweeter and ER paper cones for the midrange and bass drivers. The midrange works in an extended band (crossover points 400-4000Hz) it avoids crossover points in the region that is most sensitive for the human ear, thus improving the listening experience. According to designer Gediminas the result helps with crossover distortion perception and the listener gets “uniform, unchopped sound coming from one driver with virtually zero phase shifts”.
CABINET IN A CABINET
The most obvious upgrade over the original Figaro is AudioSolutions’ Cabinet–in–a–Cabinet system taken directly from the Virtuoso speakers. This cabinet assembly technique is also used in the flagship model, The Vantage.
“Our cab-in-a-cab system eliminates virtually all vibrations by cleverly using a light and stiff inner box with an inert and heavy outer box separated by a polyurethane dampening layer”. Gediminas Gaidelis, AudioSolutions’ founder
COLOURS AND TRIMS
The AudioSolutions Figaro XL2 Loudspeakers are available in seven different colours in the Bespoke Trim pallette. Bespoke Trim offers brass metal accents as well as a modern matt finish for the speaker, designed to coordinate with neutral toned living spaces.
A standard gloss version without metal trim will also be available soon.
