The birth of Ktêma
I am Ktêma, a loudspeaker. I am a fusion of the old, enduring experience with the light, free, searching spirit. My birth came about by chance, by the strange destiny of the simplest things that fascinating us – the things that give life to great passions and enthusiasm. It was because of a mysterious string of events that a simple phrase – written in pen along the margin of a wiring diagram – began to represent the inception of an arduous project. Little by little, it took form and depth, generating my conception. The following phrase was sent to the person who, through time, “gave me shape”, words from a friend with whom he had continuously carried out accurate and attentive research over the years, intent on delving into the innermost definitions of what music reproduction actually “means”. This friend had written… The Greeks said, “Ktêma eis aei”: It is the opposite of “Panta rei”: When will a speaker become “Ktêma eis aei” in place of all those that are “Panta rei”? For a lengthy year of testing and improvement I was a guest in the home of Andrea Bocelli, and the admiration and respect he showed me made me proud and feel sure of my way of presenting the music reproduced – my personal “version of the facts”… The famous singer wrote this, about me, to my designer: Dearest Mr. Serblin, Even my voice seems warmer and more beautiful!! Andrea Bocelli. Now all I can do is to wish you good listening…on behalf of myself I have to say that I am carrying out my work with great satisfaction because I am convinced that the fascinating challenge, that I mentioned at the beginning, has been properly won… Yours, Ktêma. Overview With fine craftsmanship and technical innovation, respecting the ideal continuity, Ktêma embraces the past in a new way, making a further contribution to enhance the ecstasy of the musical experience. Specific Technical
a possession forever – something that, over time, cannot be disputed.
everything changes constantly.
I am sitting in front of the speakers and, whilst listening to my album, I felt the need to sit down in front of the computer to write and congratulate you for the quality of these speakers and the pleasure they give me whilst listening.
A real home theatre, where the singer
is right there, in front of you.
…many congratulations for “a possession for ever”
