The Story

HE BALANCE OF PERFECTION.
FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING.

Available from July 2026

The Audiovector R 5 Arreté is the first model in the R Series to carry technologies inherited directly from our flagship R 10 Arreté. Designed, engineered and hand-built in Denmark, it fills any room with a sound that belies its size.

The R 5 features true 3.5-way architecture with bottom-mounted bass reflex loading. But when it comes to the sound, we have taken no half measures. Two bass drivers operate in carefully differentiated roles: one covering the full bass range, the second dedicated solely to the deepest frequencies. Each works within its optimal bandwidth. The midrange remains completely uncompromised: clean, fast and transparent. Bass that is not merely heard but felt.

At the heart of the R 5 Arreté is the latest evolution of our Air Motion Transformer tweeter, inspired by Dr Oscar Heil’s original 1970 principle. It delivers exceptional acceleration and micro-dynamic precision from 2,800 Hz to 53,000 Hz – far beyond the threshold of human hearing, but not of human feeling.

Colours and Veneers

The Audiovector R 5 Arreté is built by hand from premium, high-density wood. Engineered to be listened to and crafted to be lived with, each cabinet is finished to an exceptional standard.

Standard piano finishes: Black Piano, White Silk, African Mahogany Piano, and Italian Walnut.

Our Soundstage Enhancement Concept (SEC) releases controlled rear radiation in a phase-coherent manner, enhancing depth perception, lateral width and image stability.

The driver responds at the very first moment of a signal, accelerating from rest with a precision that reveals the smallest detail rather than obscuring it. Our Accelerated Force Concept (AFC) and Low Compression Concept (LCC) work in concert to reduce driver inertia and minimise air pressure build-up behind the diaphragm.

Second-generation Freedom Grounding® routes unwanted currents safely to ground – silence becomes quieter, detail clearer. A unique three-position damping adjustment matches the R 5 Arreté precisely to any amplifier: transistor, high-power transistor or valves. The new Arreté plinth, with precision-milled spikes and integrated decoupling system, eliminates resonance at its source.

Flagship performance, brought within reach. A sound that fills any room from a loudspeaker built to fit it. Experience the balance of perfection.
