About Colibri C2 compact 2-way loudspeaker system
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.
Features:
- 2-way full range horn speaker 70 – 19,000 Hz
- Load capacity: 150 watts
- Efficiency: 98 dB
- Max Sound Level: 117 dB
- Compact dimensions of the bass case (70 liters): 66 x 32 x 53 cm
- Ultra-light driver technology medium/high tone: 1.5 inches
- Ultra-light driver technology bass: 6.5 inches
- Horn equipment medium/high tone: 350 mm spherical wave horn
- Horn equipment bass: 1,800 cm² bass blades
- Separation frequencies: 70 / 700 Hz
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 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.

About Avantgarde Colibri C18 Subwoofer
Reproduction of bass below 80 Hz has its own set of rules. Relatively speaking, these are “slow”, long-wavelength signals. For example, a 30 Hz tone has a wavelength of over 11 meters. Producing convincing low frequencies means moving a lot of air, which requires a large, long-stroke diaphragm and a powerful motor to produce realistic levels.
The diaphragm of the C18 low bass module has a very large diameter of 460 mm and is capable of +/- 10 mm displacement. This allows the driver to move a volume of air approximately nine times that of a comparable 8″ high-end woofer.
The very large diaphragm surface of the C18 displaces a large volume of air even at a small stroke and thus enables a very dynamic low bass reproduction down to the subsonic range. Since the air is compressed less than with smaller diaphragms due to their spring stiffness, the sound impression is much more physical and perceptible.
For compression-free dynamic reproduction even at very high levels, the driver has a 150 mm voice coil and a high power handling of 1,600 watts (AES2012 standard). This gigantic motor structure achieves outstanding values of power factor and power handling. At the same time, thermal compression is significantly reduced.
Because we cannot actually locate low-frequency sounds below 100 Hz, the C18 bass module can be placed anywhere in the room. We have kept the C18’s cabinet to a compact 70 liters and its depth to a deliberately slim 32cm, so it can easily be placed against a wall, in a corner of the room or hidden behind a sofa.
