Crossover And Drivers

Designed for Valve/Tube Amps

Penaudio made the Alba Signature their first loudspeaker that would be easily connected in any tube or valve amplifier, so it has a really smooth impedance curve that won`t drop below 8 Ohms at any time. Almost all the listening during design was done through tubes.

Alba Signature is also equipped with the latest technology WBT Nextgen 0705Ag silver connectors and is available in Birch, Black Ash, Black Piano, Karelian Birch, Oak, White Piano and Zebrano finishes.
