Mordaunt-Short unveiled a particularly snazzy brace of stereo speakers at the Munich High End Show, the Mezzo 2 standmounters and the Mezzo 6 floorstanders set to cost around £400 to £800 when they're released this September.
Looking similar to Kef's Q range, these cabinets are curved to reduce standing waves but still retain their individuality with MS's proprietary Continuous Profile Cone 6.5in aluminium mid/bass driver.
The real talking point however is the Mezzo's Aspirated Tweeter Technology (pictured) which has been passed down from the high-end Performance series. Embedded on top of the cabinet, it houses a 25mm aluminium dome tweeter and has a vented design on the top side to allow the production of “diffuse field energy” - which apparently allows the tweeter to “breathe” for a more open and detailed sound.
As for the cosmetics, the cabinets will be available in light oak and dark walnut and will feature some nice contrasting magnetic grilles for more modest owners. The home cinema enthusiast hasn't been forgotten either, as a full 5.1 system will be revealed and launched this September at IFA in Berlin.
Given Mordaunt-Short's track record with the THX Select 500 and their award-winning Genie sub/sat system, this could be one exciting piece of kit.
