Avantgarde Acoustics COLIBRI C2 Speaker System (Pair)

Although it weighs just two grams, its flight capabilities are absolutely breathtaking. With up to 80 wing beats per second and a heart rate of 400-500 beats per minute, it lives a life in constant turbo mode.

In terms of body size, the colibri is the fastest animal in the world, reaching speeds of 400 body lengths during courtship flights – by comparison, modern jet fighters can only reach 150, generating G-forces that would knock out even the best pilots. The Colibri is also highly musical. There is no other bird that can chirp as high as it can.

In many cultures, the power animal colibri is regarded as a messenger of light, hope and love, which earned it the nickname “sun angel”. In Brazil, the colibri is named as the animal that “kisses the flowers” – we think a beautiful metaphor.

We were happy to be inspired by the lightness and speed of this friendly creature and named our new product family Colibri.

Our goal in designing the Colibri was to create an ultra-high performance loudspeaker that delivers incredible performance in a small package, reproducing music with the lowest levels of distortion technologically possible. A compact speaker that combines audiophile sound quality and professional super performance, far outperforming even much larger speakers. With this in mind, we have developed a radically uncompromising concept that has never been seen before.

We have spent a great deal of time meticulously perfecting every detail. From the driver technology, the manufacturing tolerances to the design, the finishes and the diverse mounting and installation options. We have grown very fond of the Colibri over the years. We are very proud of a sound that is addictive, a performance that is incredible for its size and a design that has never been seen before.

We think: A dream speaker like no other.

The Colibri C2 is a compact 2-way ultra high-performance loudspeaker system. It combines outstanding avantgarde sound quality with extreme efficiency and an incredible maximum sound pressure level (117dB).

 The Colibri C2 is built to last. Timeless design, the finest materials and a focus on superior analogue precision engineering without the use of short-lived digital components make the Colibri C2 a timeless, enduring product. The Colibri’s analogue horn technology is already compatible with future improvements in digital progress.

Its compact size and multiple mounting options make it easy to integrate into even the smallest spaces. It can be placed directly on the integrated rubber pads or on a variety of stands and wall brackets. Horizontal or vertical orientation is possible. The integrated toothed rings allow precise tilt and height adjustment.

The speaker is available in three contrasting colour combinations to suit different living environments. The system can be further customised with optional finishes for horns and driver covers.

The Colibri C2 can be upgraded with one or more C18 super low bass modules. The C18 module can be mounted separately or as a unit with the Colibri C2 using an optional bracket.

The low 65 Hz cut-off frequency also makes the Colibri C2 compatible with virtually all commercially available external subwoofers.

With its compact dimensions and very high maximum SPL, the Colibri can be used in a variety of ways. As an elegant high-end speaker with outstanding resolution and dynamics for the discerning audiophile. As a sonic super alternative for stylish designer speakers. As a party speaker for indoor and outdoor use, where you can really let it rip. As the ultimate sound system for the world’s best home cinema systems. Or as a super-elegant and superior-sounding alternative to professional PA speakers for bars, restaurants, clubs or discos.
