EVOLUTION Music is part of our culture, part of our lives. Everyone who loves music knows about the wide range of feelings and emotions that can be triggered by music. Music keeps memories alive and gives us those precious moments of luck and satisfaction. It is this love to music which links all the workers in our company to what we create. This common love is always the impetus for all of us to strive for more perfection in speaker design, to overcome all techmological limits and to get closer and closer to an authentic reproduction of music. Inspired through the unique Air-Flow-Technologiy invented by the austrian engineer Stefan Fekete, ARTOS Audio manufactures a series of exclusive speakersystems that combines innovative technology and traditional craftsmanship in a perfect way. For the resonance optimized speakercabinets more than 40 different wood finishes are available. A handpolished highgloss piano lacquer finish further contributes to the exclusive and luxory appearance of these musical masaterpieces. In cooperation with the world renowned company Accuton a series of exclusive driversystems has been designed to perfectly match the cabinet / cross-over designs of each model. Phaselinearity, perfect impulse response and high-efficiency have been the primary goals for the design of the crossovers that uses the best parts available from Mundorf and Duelund. ARTOS invites you to a musical journey of unheard dynamic, precision and musical involvement. Nothing more, but nothing less...

THUNDER ARTOS Audio loudspeakers are designed to reproduce an extremely natural, dynamic and realistic musical experience, offering impressive soundstage, basscontrol and timecoherence to set landmarks in music reproduction. The »THUNDER« is one of our top-of-the-line models, featuring high efficiency, linear impedance behavior, minimal phase shifting and most of the technologies used in ouf flagship HURRICANE. This model equally suits for combination with single ended triode as well as transistor amplification. Unconventional design solutions and perfect craftsmanship make them outstanding in many respects. The »Thunder« is a very powerfull 4-way System using innovative AIRFLOW and RESONANCE technologies for closed cabinets and the best available components have been used by our designers to create a speakersystem that combines »OLD WORLD'S CRAFTSMANSHIP with CUTTING EDGE ENGINEERING« At ARTOS Audio we stand for a pure, timeless design which integrates perfectly into high quality interior design concepts of the speaker itself and domestic environments as well. Special designed ceramic drivers systems are supplied by the renowned manufacturer Accuton. For a deep and precise bass reproduction two 9.0” Woofers and one 7.0” Woofer are used. A 7.0” ceramic midrange driver delivers a smooth and rich vocal timbre while a 1.2” ceramic Tweeter takes care of the high frequency range. For best results, this musical masterpiece might be euqipped with a 1.2” Black Diamond Tweeter as an option. Because these drivers are custom made by Accuton to match the behaviour of the Air-FLow-Cabinet, we have been able to develop a crossover that uses only a few high quality parts from Mundorf. The perfect phase linearity and impulse response are the result of this design. The »THUNDER« is a true benchmark in speakerdesign. Welcome to the world of ARTOS Audio... -5-
