Quartorigo Fantasia
Fantasia is, in musical tradition, a symbol of absolute creative freedom – a space where classical rules are bent according to the author's vision and imagination becomes the main driving force of innovation. It represents the courage to cross boundaries, to explore uncharted sonic territories and to transform bold ideas into extraordinary reality. This spirit of uncompromising creativity and artistic rebellion is at the very heart of the Quartorigo Fantasia speakers. They are not designed merely to reproduce sound, but to unleash the full spectrum of musical expression in all its breadth and emotion. Every driver, every single component and every design decision reflects tireless effort toward acoustic perfection through unconventional thinking. Fantasia does not follow established paths – it follows inspiration as the main principle and continually redefines the boundaries of what is possible through pure creative vision. As with other Quartorigo products, the Fantasia line is completely designed, developed and manufactured in Italy, as evidenced by the internationally recognized 100% Made in Italy certification.
Quartorigo Fantasia Midrange centre speakers
The Quartorigo Fantasia Midrange is a centre speaker with a diameter of 89 mm (3.5"), embodying the brand's ability to combine an extremely compact design with a full-bodied, mature sonic performance. At first glance it attracts attention with an unusual cone shape and a very low profile, clearly indicating that technical originality was chosen over conventional solutions.
The speaker uses a paper cone, a material long valued for its natural tonal character, low mass and ability to faithfully convey fine dynamic nuances in the midband. This is where the essence of music occurs – the human voice, acoustic instruments and most harmonic structures – and the Fantasia Midrange is designed to reproduce this area with maximum clarity, coherence and naturalness. A key constructional element is the innovative inverted cone and suspension system. This unconventional solution allowed achieving an extremely shallow mounting depth of only 20 mm without compromising acoustic performance or mechanical stability. The speaker can therefore be integrated without issues into very space-limited installations, typically in modern door panels, dashboards or OEM positions where conventional centre drivers fail.
The drive is ensured by a neodymium magnet, which provides high magnetic strength in minimal dimensions. As a result, the driver has excellent control over cone movement, fast response and high sensitivity to subtle signal changes. The construction also maintains high structural integrity of the driver despite its extremely low profile. The overall execution of the Fantasia Midrange appears technically clean and precise with an emphasis on functional aesthetics. The interestingly shaped cone is not merely a design element but a direct result of acoustic design that optimizes dispersion, suppresses unwanted resonances and contributes to a smooth frequency response in the critical midband. The result is an open, detailed and naturally sounding midrange that seamlessly connects both to the tweeter and the woofer of the Fantasia line. It is thus an ideal choice for high-end audio installations where maximum attention is paid to spatial flexibility, technical sophistication and absolute fidelity of musical expression – without compromise in design or sound.

| Speaker typeCoaxial speakers: Coaxial speakers are characterized by a so-called all-in-one design. The tweeter and mid-bass speaker are in one basket. The advantage is simpler assembly, but thanks to the connection or proximity of the bands in one speaker, the sound quality will usually be reduced. As a rule, in the middle of the mid-bass speaker, there is a tweeter whose voice coil works in the second air gap of the common magnetic circuit. The three-way coaxial speaker consists of a mid-bass speaker, a center speaker and a separate tweeter in the front on a special beam. Component Speakers: Component speakers are characterized by a division into individual frequency bands, treble + mid-bass + or. bass band. The individual speakers can be placed completely separately, which results in a better sound and acoustic performance. In the vast majority of cases of component speakers, an external crossover is also supplied, which divides the treble, middle / mid-bass, and into the three-band the bass band or allows setting the decibel level of the tweeter (e.g. +2 dB, 0 dB, -2 dB), steepness (e.g. 6dB/Oct. 12dB/Oct.) or active or bi-amp connection. | Midrange |
| RMS powerRMS speaker power is the constant power of the entire system, not just one speaker or one side. This is also the performance of continuous use of the speakers. If the RMS power is exceeded for a long time, the speakers may be irreversibly damaged! | 70 W |
| Sensitivity (SPL 2.83V/1m)Sensitivity, sensitivity or efficiency of the speaker. Speaker sensitivity is given in decibels (dB) and simply put, the higher the value, the lower the demands on the amplifier's power. This is a defacto rating of how a speaker converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the speaker using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter. A higher decibel level means the speaker is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the speaker requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB speaker needs 100 Watts to produce a certain volume, then a speaker with a sensitivity of 91 dB needs only 50 Watts to reach the same volume. | 92 dB |
| Sensitivity (SPL 1W/1m)Sensitivity, sensitivity or efficiency of the speaker. Speaker sensitivity is given in decibels (dB) and simply put, the higher the value, the lower the demands on the amplifier's power. This is a defacto rating of how a speaker converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the speaker using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter. A higher decibel level means the speaker is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the speaker requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB speaker needs 100 Watts to produce a certain volume, then a speaker with a sensitivity of 91 dB needs only 50 Watts to reach the same volume. | 89 dB |
| ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying speakers, it is important to make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier or car stereo you are using. Example: A 2 Ohm speaker cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms! A 4 Ohm speaker can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. The most common speaker impedance today is 3 - 4 Ohm. | 4 Ω |
| Frequency rangeThe ability of the speakers to play a signal from the lowest frequency to the highest, or the speaker's ability to faithfully reproduce sound in a specific frequency band. Professionally: In the frequency range from 40 to 16,000 Hz, the vast majority of fundamental and overtones (harmonics) of all musical instruments are found. We are interested in the course of the radiated sound pressure in this range of frequencies when the loudspeaker system is supplied with constant power. We call this course the frequency characteristic, which tells us the level of radiated sound pressure in decibels (dB) depending on the frequency. The frequency characteristic of a speaker or speaker system can be expressed most succinctly with a graph. Mostly, however, the frequency characteristic is indicated by indicating the maximum tolerance of the sound pressure in the given frequency range, e.g. 50 to 15,000 Hz -+ 6 dB. Since the frequency characteristics of loudspeakers and systems in general are quite uneven, some manufacturers do not even specify this maximum tolerance of sound pressure in decibels in their catalogs for reasons of prestige. Data impoverished in this way is unfortunately worthless. What is valid is that the manufacturer offers a speaker system with a frequency range of 30 to 20,000 Hz, if he is worried about stating the maximum unevenness of the sound pressure in this range, because he can have a tolerance of, for example, +- 20 dB. The unevenness or undulation of the frequency curve in good speaker systems for high-quality music performance should not exceed +-3 dB in the 80 to 12,000 Hz band and +-6 dB in the 40 to 16,000 Hz band. Greater unevenness already depletes or emphasizes certain tonal areas, which can cause audible or even disturbing distortion. The proportion between fundamental tones and higher harmonics also changes, thereby changing the color of the sound, and individual musical instruments as well as the entire musical image sound unnatural. | 150 - 5000 Hz |
