Lantern Illuminator
Horn-driven impact. Dual-driver balance. Natural paper tone.
Designed for those who value precision and presence. With 96 dB sensitivity and an 8-ohm load, the Lantern Illuminator works effortlessly with amplifiers of every kind — from refined triodes to powerful solid-state designs.
Each speaker is hand-built from Baltic birch and solid hardwood, engineered around carefully matched European and Japanese components. The result is a system that moves air with authority yet retains the intimacy and coherence of a true wideband design.
