Opera Loudspeakers Seconda SE

The Seconda SE is quite versatile, with a recommended amplifier range of 10 to 200 Watts RMS. Because they have a sensitivity of 89 dB and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, they will perform best with an amplifier capable of handling lower impedance loads without clipping.

Unlike ported speakers that use air vents to boost bass, the sealed box design of the Seconda SE provides a tighter, more controlled, and accurate low-end response. This makes them less prone to 'boomy' bass, allowing for cleaner integration in rooms where speaker placement might be restricted.

Yes, they are excellent for home theater. Their precise soundstaging and ability to handle dynamic peaks make them a strong choice for the front channels of a high-fidelity surround sound system.

Absolutely. The detailed Scanspeak tweeter and the aluminum cone woofers are designed to reproduce the nuance and warmth of analog recordings, making them a great match for a high-quality turntable setup.

The Seconda SE features bi-wiring capability, which allows you to separate the high and low-frequency signals if your amplifier supports it. While not strictly required, bi-wiring can offer a slight improvement in clarity and separation for critical listening.

Each speaker stands 102 cm tall and 24.5 cm wide, with a depth of 43 cm. Given their weight of 45 kg each, you will want to ensure they are placed on a stable, level surface, ideally with enough clearance from walls to allow the soundstage to breathe.
