Precision engineering, premium components, and elegant craftsmanship come together in a striking new floorstanding loudspeaker, Ophidian claims! The company says that Skye is a meticulously engineered floorstanding loudspeaker that combines classic styling with cutting-edge acoustics. Designed and assembled in the UK, Skye aims to deliver a refined listening experience that balances power, clarity, and musicality in equal measure, Ophidian stated.
Standing around a meter tall, each cabinet is finished in a choice of real wood veneer—oak or walnut—offering a timeless aesthetic that complements its high-performance pedigree.
According to the press release, the heart of Skye’s design are dual 7-inch (180mm) alloy bass drivers, with the junction between the cone and surround indexed, to provide a smoother transition and equally smooth response in the critical vocal region. The dual bass drivers are coupled to Ophidian's signature Aeroflex bass system which, according to the company, maximizes bass dynamics and speed while reducing distortion in the lowest registers. The port system also helps to further brace the cabinet and reduce unwanted resonance.
The tweeter is supplied by SEAS of Norway, and features a wide roll surround which allows high power handling while maintaining excellent directivity characteristics - the one-piece diaphragm and surround is coated with Sonolex for superior damping.
The driver layout comprises an MTM setup with woofers above and below the tweeter with the crossover circuit having been carefully optimized for this to provide a smooth off axis response. Skye’s crossover network features premium components including air cored coils, polypropylene capacitors and non-inductive metal oxide resistors all sourced exclusively from renowned German manufacturer Mundorf.
Skye joins the similarly specified Seren's standmount as a new entry in Ophidian's mid-priced S-series.
