Virtuoso series employs much of the advanced technology originally developed for the company’s flagship Vantage 5th-anniversary series. Virtuoso series sits comfortably between AudioSolutions’ Figaro and Vantage 5th anniversary series.

AudioSolutions’ Virtuoso B is an uncompromising three-way standmount loudspeaker that combines the imaging precision of a monitor with the weight, scale, and dynamic authority of a much larger floorstander. Its dedicated 16.5 cm extended-band Hard Pulp midrange covers the vital 500 Hz–7 kHz region in one seamless span, delivering voices and acoustic instruments with exceptional tonal continuity, natural density, and emotional presence. A 30 mm silk-dome tweeter in a mini-horn provides clean, effortless extension, while the 19 cm downward-firing woofer brings genuine low-frequency foundation down to a claimed 30 Hz in-room.

The Virtuoso B’s unusually sophisticated Box-in-a-Box cabinet employs a heavily braced internal structure, multi-layer walls, and carefully controlled damping to reduce enclosure coloration and preserve low-level detail. With three user-selectable crossover profiles—Balanced, Soft, and Enhanced—the speaker can be tailored to the room and system without sacrificing its fundamental coherence. At once refined, powerful, and deeply revealing, the Virtuoso B is for listeners who want the spatial precision of a premium monitor without giving up full-range musical scale.

Description

Notable highlights of Virtuoso series includes an advanced Box-in-a-Box system, mini-horn loaded tweeter, an extended frequency midrange driver, a user-adjustable crossover with three listening profiles, and of course self-locking cabinets borrowed from our Vantage flagship speakers. 

Features

Three-way speaker system with sub firing down. Highly braced internal skeleton with complex all new Box-in-a-Box enclosure and multi-layer walls. Inspired by Vantage 5th anniversary speakers with many technologies borrowed from and advanced to fit for our new generation platform. We believe that Virtuoso is a dawn of a completely new generation of speakers at AudioSolutions and it starts with Virtuoso series.

A True Box In A Box Cabinet

Virtuoso speakers share a true box-in-a-box enclosure design. This system relies on an internal structure with extensive skeleton-like bracing which grants rigidity of enclosure and controls primary vibrations which are created directly by the drivers. This internal carcass is covered with lightweight material to form an inner box. Lightweight walls have very low inertia and don't store energy. Because of that, inner cabinet ringing characteristics are very good. The outer box is being attached directly to and over the inner box. By applying more dense material with higher inner losses we eliminate any high Q spikes which can be transmitted from inner structure. Outer box works in tandem with inner box by dampening each other out. Specially calculated corner joint point’s and shape increases structural forces even further. The resulting cabinet shares properties of those aluminium or composite cabinets, but do not add high-frequency ringing and harmonics which is common in those type cabinets.

Multi Layered Surfaces

Virtuoso benefits from different thickness walls across all cabinet. We use different thickness and density materials, combine them so that each layer would have different resonance frequencies. This technique allows us to dampen vibrations inside those materials. A thin polyurethane glue layer between materials has a thickness of 0.1-0.15mm and forms a unique layer which helps to transfer energy from walls to heat (absorb mechanical energy) and help to dampen all structure extensively.  This technique along with a box in a box technology forms a complex cabinet system which only some high-end manufacturers can allow themselves to manufacture.

Extended Band Midrange

AudioSolutions exploits a unique concept of extended band midranges. While most systems utilize crossover points within the 700-2500hz region, we believe that having a three-way system and wide-spectrum midrange is critical. While this method creates a bit narrower listening window, the benefits of it are by far more superior and worth striving for.

A human ear has uneven sensitivity across the audio band. We are naturally less sensitive to low-frequency irregularities and high-frequency irregularities, but our ear is enormously sensitive to mid frequencies within the 1000-2000Hz band. Each driver has naturally occurring irregularities across the spectrum a.k.a. distortions which make each driver sound with imprinted unique character (i.e. metallic sound). We can hear that different imprint between two drivers (i.e. midrange and tweeter) while playing music if the crossover point is somewhere near that sensitive region of 1000-2000Hz. This phenomenon is audible and understood as unbalanced, harsh or tiresome sound and eliminates speaker main purpose - recreate life-like sound and emotions. Physically it is impossible to fully eliminate naturally occurring distortions in the driver, but we can stay away from the most sensitive region and cross-over drivers where our ear is least sensitive. The principle behind this is very simple - human senses can't accurately distinguish sole stimulus but can be extremely accurate in distinguishing slightest differences if two stimuli are present.

The simplest example - all paper is white and you cannot tell how white different sheets are until you have them close to each other. Comparing two of them you can easily tell which one is whiter even if it is the slightest shift in colour. The same works for sound. If you have two drivers crossed in a most sensitive region - you immediately hear the tonal shift of drivers, different irregularities and the overall sound is far from natural. Keeping crossover points as far as possible from that region allows you to hear most information (most sensitive information) coming from one driver and unchopped by crossover.

Virtuoso Extended Band Midrange driver covers the spectrum from 500Hz up to 7000Hz. That is almost 4 octaves of most essential musical information coming unsplitted between different drivers. Because of this concept, we can truly say that possibly we have the most natural-sounding speakers among all.

So how does the Virtuoso B sound?

The AudioSolutions Virtuoso B is a large, serious three-way standmount designed to deliver much of the scale, bass authority, and dynamic ease normally associated with a floorstander. Its presentation is best described as open, natural, full-range, and highly resolved—built around tonal coherence through the critical midband rather than an overtly “hi-fi” spotlighting of detail.

Sound character

The Virtuoso B should sound unusually complete for a standmount. Its 16.5 cm Hard Pulp midrange driver covers a very broad 500 Hz–7 kHz range, leaving the majority of vocal, instrumental, and presence-band information to one driver. In practice, that design aims to produce voices with convincing body and continuity, instruments with less crossover-related discontinuity, and a stable, natural sense of timbre through the region where human hearing is especially sensitive.

Its tonal balance is likely to appeal to listeners who value realism over artificial edge definition:

• Midrange: Expect dense, articulate vocal reproduction and convincing instrumental color. Rather than sounding dissected into separate driver bands, the Virtuoso B is engineered to make the central musical range feel unified and unforced.

• Treble: The 30 mm silk-dome tweeter is coupled to a mini-horn, a configuration intended to improve efficiency and control while minimizing distortion. The expected result is clean, extended high-frequency information with air and dynamic expression, but with the smoother, less metallic character associated with a silk dome rather than a deliberately sharp or etched top end.

• Bass: A 19 cm downward-firing Hard Pulp woofer gives the Virtuoso B a far more substantial low end than its standmount classification suggests. With a claimed in-room response down to 30 Hz, it should provide real weight on kick drum, double bass, orchestral foundations, and electronic bass lines—provided it has adequate room around it and is used on its dedicated stands.

• Dynamics and scale: At 91.5 dB sensitivity, the Virtuoso B should sound lively and unconstrained with a capable amplifier. It is intended to reproduce large dynamic contrasts and room-filling images without the small-box compression that can limit conventional monitors. A review notes that it is fairly demanding of amplifier current despite its useful sensitivity.

• Imaging: The compact front baffle and high-quality cabinet construction should support precise placement and layered depth, while the broad-band midrange concept is intended to preserve image solidity. The trade-off is that careful toe-in and listening height may matter more than with a conventional two-way, since the midrange has a wide operating span.

In short, the Virtuoso B is not a miniature speaker voiced to sound impressive through exaggerated treble or midbass. It is a high-mass, three-way monitor intended to sound like a refined full-range loudspeaker: weighty, composed, colorful, dynamic, and tonally integrated.
