Acora Acoustics is a sponsors on What's Best Forum, and they recently added an exciting new range of speakers called the MRC.
Encompassing a bookshelf speaker, 3 floorstanding models and a cinema center channel, all housed in their now famous stone enclosures.

Some words from Valerio Cora:

THE MRC SPEAKER RANGE

At Acora, our unwavering commitment has always been to musical excellence above all else. The new MRC speaker range is no exception. We carefully optimized production to reduce costs—without compromising the performance standards that define Acora. The result is a new level of attainable high-end audio, opening the door to a broader audience. The lineup includes the compact MRB-1 bookshelf speaker and the MRC-1, MRC-2, and MRC-3 floorstanding models and the MRM center speaker.

THE ACORA CONCEPT

From the beginning, we chose a different path. In the case of ALL our sepeakers, we asked: what if the cabinet didn’t hold the speaker back, but set it free? That question led us to stone — a material as timeless as music itself. Our precision-crafted stone enclosures eliminate resonance and distortion, allowing every note to emerge with stunning clarity and purity.

WHY STONE?

At Acora, performance has always come first. Our pursuit of the most faithful, uncolored reproduction of music led us to take a deep look at a critical — yet often overlooked — factor: cabinet resonance. For decades, wood has been the material of choice for speaker enclosures, used by the vast majority of high-end audio brands.

But even with the most advanced construction techniques, we found that wood simply couldn't escape its nature — it always added something to the sound. A subtle coloration. A soft veil over the truth.

We looked further. Aluminum, composites, exotic materials — each with their strengths, but none quite delivering the neutrality and control we demanded. Then we found our answer: NATURAL STONE.

1. Virtually no interaction with the energy from the speaker cones — letting the drivers speak freely.
2. High mass, providing rock-solid stability, enhancing soundstage depth and stereo focus.
3. Unique, bespoke character — no two pieces are alike, making every speaker truly one of a kind.
4. Timeless aesthetic that brings elegance into any home.

Tweeter

For the MRC range, Acora engineers selected a refined one-inch ceramic dome tweeter. Its advanced design features dual neodymium magnets and a vented titanium voice coil former, delivering low distortion, wide dynamic range, and minimal compression, even at high output.

Midrange/Woofer

The MRC’s midbass driver, selected and tuned by Acora engineers, delivers rich, natural warmth, with the speed and control needed to convey both dynamic impact and delicate nuance.

Crossover

The MRC’s crossover is the result of meticulous engineering and countless hours of listening. Every component was chosen with purpose. Capacitors and inductors from Mundorf deliver precision and transparency, while oxygen-free, continuous cast copper wiring from Cardas preserves signal integrity with effortless flow.
