The E8 Series includes six distinct models, among which the E850 stands out as an elegant and slender floor-standing speaker. The structure is enhanced by a plastic visor positioned on the top panel—an aesthetic detail that may also contribute to acoustic optimization. The system features a 2.5-way design, employing two composite-cone drivers with plastic nozzles on the core and a silk dome tweeter. The crossover filter gradually manages the signals: one of the two woofers attenuates in the lower midrange frequencies, while the second reinforces this range. The speaker stands on uniquely designed feet, securely fastened to a solid and rigid cabinet with screws. The flexible protective grille, capable of bending up to 90°, fits perfectly onto the structure and helps reduce edge diffraction.

The E850 impresses with its exceptional tonal coherence and precision, capturing even the finest details of the sound. Its ability to reproduce subtle nuances with graphical accuracy allows the listener to fully immerse themselves in the music, perceiving every shade of interpretation. The sound spreads naturally and effortlessly, creating a realistic soundstage that faithfully recreates the ambiance of a concert hall, where sounds are born, live, and dissolve with remarkable realism.

The bass is dynamic and adaptive, intelligently adjusting to different musical contexts: in rock music, it delivers power and impact, while in classical symphonies, it handles the low frequencies elegantly without overpowering the mix. Although the frequency range does not reach the absolute lowest depths, the accuracy of the lower midrange ensures a rich and emotionally engaging reproduction of low-pitched instruments. A slight emphasis on timpani does not compromise the purity of the midrange, where violins sound clear and brilliant, woodwinds expressive and articulate. Classical soprano voices exhibit a rich, nuanced timbre, while the piano maintains a uniform tone, free of distortion or off-key notes.

Even in the face of intense dynamic variations, the system maintains a perfectly balanced reproduction: the bass strengthens harmonically and progressively, while the midrange expands smoothly, preserving an impeccable tonal balance.

The E850 is designed for all music genres, offering versatility and adaptability to different styles. Its powerful and immersive bass enhances the listening experience in home environments without overwhelming the music itself. Another key advantage is its stable input impedance, making the speaker undemanding when selecting an amplifier and ensuring seamless integration with various electronics.
