The late, great Franco Serblin was a true legend of high-end loudspeaker design, and the company that bears his name maintains his legacy.

The latest Serblin speaker is the Accordo Essence, a three-way floorstander that the company say is “as elegant and refined as it is powerful and expressive”. It was due to launch officially at High End Munich 2020.
