SON means SOUND
Excerpts from FIDELITY Review 62
A 10-INCH CONE PAIRED WITH A RIBBON — WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? WOLF VON LANGA USES THIS CONCEPT TO CREATE A FLOOR-STANDING SPEAKER IN ITS OWN CLASS.
Seasoned drivers: Wolf von Langa makes the 10.5-inch cone driver (top left) and the passive radiator in-house. The top part of the SON is finished with a Mundorf AMT. This sits inside of a magnetically attached acrylic panel, which can be moved ever so slightly on the top of the housing. This enables the user to finely adjust the treble.
The WOLF VON LANGA SON is a sensual speaker, yet simultaneously a David giving many high-end Goliaths a good kick in the shin. Its sensuality comes across most clearly where the gut decisions are made: in the bass.

The SON is truly wonderful at delivering that thumping big bang. The field-coil cone is the stuff of dreams, and it doesn’t disappoint. Larger rooms than my 20-m2 music room won’t cause the speakers any problems at all.
“Another form of sensuality: the SON’s spatial reproduction sounds world class.”
I remember AMT-equipped loudspeakers sounding incredibly fluid and smooth. The SON boasts each and every one of these prop- erties. The treble sounded dynamic, on point, present and high-resolution, yet also soft and, yes, smooth.
WOLF VON LANGA SON: A different kind of two-way speaker – Wolf von Langa has conjured an explosive world-class speaker using his mighty field-coil cone and an exquisite tweeter.
The SON speakers are genuine high-end beauties capable of handling any challenge without batting an eye. Moreover, they reward the user for carefully tinkering around with the positioning, the tweeters, the field-coil current and even that classic quality of the bi-wiring bridges with soundscapes that are nothing short of incredible.
