The Saranna Full Range Floorstander is a remarkable audio solution that defies expectations, delivering an unparalleled listening experience for music enthusiasts. Whether you crave the relentless punch and dynamics of rock and metal or the tender nuances of classical music, Saranna has you covered. This article explores the unique features and listening experience that make Saranna a standout choice in the world of high-fidelity audio.

A Dual Nature: Power and Clarity

Saranna is a paradox in the best way possible. On one hand, it offers relentless punch and grit, allowing you to unleash the full barrage of rock and metal at any volume. On the other hand, it delicately touches your soul with breathtaking clarity in vocals and individual instruments. This duality is what sets Saranna apart from other speakers, as it can seamlessly transition from powerful performances to intimate moments with ease.

Exceptional Sound Quality

The sound quality of the Saranna is so impressive that it rivals even the renowned MANTA monitor system. The front of the speaker features a single, highly capable coaxial driver equipped with powerful neodymium magnets. This design covers nearly the entire audible range, ensuring that Saranna is perceived as a true point source, producing exceptional imaging and a captivating soundstage.

Midrange and High Frequencies

To achieve remarkable clarity and detail, Saranna utilizes an optimized 8″ driver for midbass and lower midrange frequencies. Above 1500Hz, a horn-loaded polymer compression driver with a radial phase plug takes over, delivering high capacity and low distortion while providing smooth, butter-like highs. The vented midrange chamber minimizes reflections from surrounding walls, enhancing clarity and improving the overall soundstage. This setup gives Saranna its unique vocal performance, allowing it to sound clear and tidy even in complex musical productions.

Innovative Design for Superior Performance

Saranna’s design ensures cardioid-like performance starting at 150Hz, directing the rhythmic and punchy nature of the upper bass and lower midrange toward the listener. This innovative approach prevents muddiness caused by room reflections. At first glance, Saranna appears to be powered by a single driver, but a closer look reveals two high-end 8″ subwoofer drivers hidden at the rear. With low port tuning, Saranna achieves tight, powerful bass that extends down to an impressive 20Hz in-room.

Boundary Coupling for Enhanced Bass Response

The rear-mounted design and recommended placement of only 15cm from the wall may seem unusual, but it is intentional. This configuration allows for boundary coupling with the wall, a technique borrowed from the Inkognito subwoofers. The result is a more powerful and even bass response compared to traditional speakers. Although Saranna must be experienced to be fully appreciated, here are some key highlights of the listening experience it offers:

Key Listening Experience Highlights

  • All-Rounder Design: Saranna excels with great records, making them sound exceptional, while also making less-than-perfect records sound very good.
  • Effortless Dynamics: It handles complex and highly dynamic records with ease, delivering an effortless performance akin to the MANTA end-state monitor.
  • Immersive Soundstage: Saranna presents a huge soundstage with pinpoint imaging, creating the illusion that the speakers themselves have disappeared.
  • Deep, Tight Bass: The bass is controlled and deep, reminiscent of a perfectly integrated subwoofer system, even at loud volumes.
  • Smooth High Frequencies: Despite employing a compression horn typically found in PA systems rather than hi-fi, Saranna’s treble and highs are described as incredibly smooth.

User-Friendly Active Design

One of the standout features of Saranna is its active design, eliminating the need for an external power amplifier. All that’s required is a DAC, preamp, or streamer with XLR/RCA pre-outs. Saranna is designed to perform well in most rooms right out of the box. With a simple button press at the back of the speakers, users can switch between presets to tailor the sound to their specific room or personal preferences.

Advanced Customization Options

For those seeking a more advanced setup, Saranna includes built-in EQ capabilities. If users have the ability to perform measurements of their audio setup, free assistance is available for evaluating those measurements and suggesting appropriate EQ adjustments.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
