"Achingly Italian, the Aviator Ghibli standmount speaker bestrides the line between art and science with admirable assurance. Fans of hard rock and associated genres may feel the need to look elsewhere for their kicks but, for everything else, the baby Chario Aviator sounds sweet, natural and rather fabulous "
David Vivian (HiFi Choice) recommends the Ghibili Standmount speakers, suggesting they sound just as good as they look! Read the best bits of the review below:
Ghibili
"Aviator Ghibli is impossibly gorgeous. There isn’t a pointy cabinet corner in sight. As premium speakers go, Italian supermodels like the Chario have snapped the bonds of mere stereotype (unavoidable pun) to become arguably hi-fi’s best-looking cliché.
The Chario’s reserves of smoothness are so deep it makes George Clooney blush anything approaching cool, bright and breezy would be such a shuddering psychological disconnect, potential customers seduced by the lush Latin aesthetic, well, they wouldn’t be potential customers anymore. This is why up-market Italian speakers tend to share a sonic profile that, in its basic parameters at least, is warm, rich and smooth, complimenting the luxury expressed by the cabinetry and mirroring the performance of the tube amps they are frequently partnered with."
