Based in Prague and founded by Italian designer Roberto Barletta, Xavian has quietly built a cult following across Europe for its handcrafted loudspeakers that combine Italian design flair with high-end Czech engineering. Though little known in Australia until now, the brand’s reputation for natural tonal balance and artisanal build quality has made it a favourite among discerning audiophiles.

Integrale is the latest flagship in Xavian’s XN Series and follows in the footsteps of the Virtuosa Anniversario—a previous limited-edition model that celebrated the company’s milestone anniversary and quickly sold out. Building on the strengths of that design, Integrale promises a full-range musical experience while retaining the tonal purity that helped cement Xavian’s reputation.

Barletta himself hand-assembled and voiced each speaker, featuring Scan-Speak’s prestigious Ellipticor drivers for the midrange and high frequencies—components widely regarded for their extraordinary realism and transparency. These are coupled with a pair of custom bass drivers employing hybrid acoustic radiation, extending low-end depth without losing finesse. The result, the company says, is a speaker that plays “any genre of music with confidence, authority, airiness and majesty.”

Integrale’s 3.5-way configuration leverages Xavian’s proprietary tapered front panel geometry to precisely phase-align the drivers, resulting in what the brand claims is an exceptional impulse response and spacious, holographic imaging. Internally, the 80kg cabinets are reinforced with struts and composite bitumen damping and feature removable Soundcare anti-vibration feet as standard. Tri-wiring and tri-amping are supported, and each driver pair is matched within ±0.5 dB.

The aesthetic remains faithful to the XN Series but adds subtle refinements, including reintroducing a tapered baffle around the tweeter and midrange units. Buyers can choose from walnut veneer or high-gloss white or black piano lacquer, with bespoke finishes available to order.

Reflecting on his latest creation, Barletta shared:

As I get older, I am becoming more and more aware of the importance of time management. That’s why I created Integrale—to allow me to enjoy music in its entirety and full range without having to visit concert halls. I consider Integrale to be my definitive solution, incorporating 35 years of experience.

With only 25 pairs being produced, Integrale is positioned as both an audiophile reference and a collector's item. Interested buyers are encouraged to contact Xavian directly for availability and ordering information. Expect a suitably premium price—Integrale is listed at CZK 690,000 per pair, which equates to approximately €27,950 or £23,875.
