The Arca was the flagship model for this company, standing over a meter tall with their substantial front baffle made of most of a cherry tree, it’s easy to see the pride taken in this design. They have a heft that makes you feel you have most of a church organ rather than a pair of speakers. At 70kg each they don’t invite continual repositioning, but once in place their in-built spikes ensure that isolation can be maximized. With four screw-adjustable spikes they take a little setting up. Half a turn too much on any corner and a tiny rocking action can spoil the image. Four is arguably a poor number in Hi-Fi and I’ve successfully experimented with a single after-market rear spike taking over duties from the rear pair. Arca means ‘brilliant one’ in Sanskrit, but also stands for Absolute Response Corrected Alignment. This acronym starts to allude to how these hybrid electrostatic speakers set out to contradict much of the received wisdom about speaker design.
