About Quintet10 Chassis and Center Drivers
Quintet10 Chassis features the Quintet10 frame, baffles, the PureAudioProject proprietary 10” 89db woofers and Thrier Crossover.
Quintet10 will play well with a wide variety of amplifiers including powerful tube amps, Solid State (Class A or AB), and Class-D amps
With three different configurations available for the same chassis, you can experience the magic of top-grade horns, full-range drivers, or the legendary Morel soft dome tweeters with carbon mid-range driver. All are subject to your personal sonic preference!
Quintet10 presents superb clarity and resolution, with a solid, warm, and realistic sound that will never cause any sonic fatigue.
Eight fast-purpose-made 10” woofers move air to an extent where the Quintet10 plays effortlessly, with inner musical layers and nuances that come to life at any volume level.
All this and more make the Quintet10 sound just right, with any genre. From a string quartet, a full-scale orchestra, a grand piano, vocals, a jazz band, a rock band, or an electronic project, the Quintet10 plays with the ease and authority of a true Wall of Sound Speaker.
Though the sonic signature of all three Quintet10 configurations feel like ‘being part of the PureAudioProject family’, each has its unique sonic touch. No better or worse here, all is a subject of personal taste and preference, and with our modular concept, you can try all three and decide!
Quintet10 w/ Horn2 Center Driver
- Features the same compression driver used in our raved Trio15 and Quintet15 Horn1

Main Features
- The woofers are designed and manufactured specifically for Open Baffle and PureAudioProject
- We currently offer three models:
- Quintet10 Horn, feat. PAP-Horn2, NEW
- Quintet10 Voxativ, feat. Voxativ 8″ AC-1.6 full-range driver
- Quintet10 Stellar, feat. Morel 5″ mid-range driver and supreme soft dome tweeter
- Mid drivers in Quintet10 Stellar are single-cone wide-range performers that play up to 7.5kHZ. This allows avoiding the use of crossover in the critically hearable frequency range
- The Tweeters in Quintet10 Stellar are Morel’s latest Neo Supreme design and are optimized specifically for dipole use
- The crossover in both models, Quintet10 Horn and Quintet10 Voxativ serial first-order crossovers, aka Leonidas
- The crossover in Quintet10 Stellar is the Thriers (Leonidas with a third channel for the Tweeter)
- All crossovers feature audiophile-grade components that are easily swappable to allow fine-tuning and upgrading. Their audio path is short to a level that is rarely found in speakers. One coil only for the woofers, Cap/Coil/Lpad for the Mid, and a Cap/Lpad for the tweeter. The components in Quintet15 Voxativ are one Coil, one Cap, and two resistors!
