A modern, technologically advanced loudspeaker, with a strong, but colourful and spatial sound, wrapped in a tasteful, timeless vintage-style enclosure – this is what motivated Pylon Audio when designing the Jade 20.

In this two-way design, they entrusted the lower bandwidth to a designed in-house, 12-inch midwoofer with a classic, paper diaphragm. The BMS compression driver, responsible for the top end, is working in a short tube with a Tractrix profile, specially designed by Pylon’s engineers. The appropriate selection and efficiency of the transducers allowed Pylon to obtain a bandwidth division at around 1200 Hz. Thanks to the 8-ohm impedance and efficiency of 91dB, the Jade 20’s are easy to set up – they can be easily driven by a low-power tube amplifier and they show their full potential with a powerful transistor-based amp.

The loudspeaker housings are made of massive MDF boards, additionally reinforced with internal ribbing and trusses ensuring the appropriate rigidity of the structure. The Jade 20 is finished with a natural, oil-waxed American walnut veneer, emphasizing their vintage aesthetics.

The Jade 20 is an outstanding concert-like performer: a combination of “strong sound” with unlimited freedom and the natural scale of the instruments. The loudspeakers sounds vital, with a strongly marked foreground, rhythmic and strong bass and a colorful highs. This set would create a friendly concert atmosphere during hours long listening sessions as well as a suggestive background for both work and relaxation.

The speakers are designed for use in rooms with a floor area from 18 to 45 m2.
