Aretai Contra in Media

Comparing the Aretai with an admittedly more affordable pair of speakers was a bit like contrasting an oil painting with a cartoon. There is a depth of detail that is very agreeable and this is apparent with pretty well any type of music.

Such performance from a small stand-mount speaker set doesn’t happen every other day. It rendered the Aretai a very potent big-bore type capable of pushing copious amounts of air my way and in general highly entertaining stunts its modest cabinets honestly shouldn’t do. I truly hadn’t seen all that coming.

However you characterize the sound of the Latvian-made loudspeaker, it comes with prodigious bass down to 30 Hz, thanks to a rear-firing six-inch woofer that complements its front-firing twin. The novel waveguide for the neodymium tweeter extends response to beyond 25 kHz but importantly replicates a deep, wide soundstage.

The waveguide widens the sweet spot in width and height (above and below)—so your pets can also enjoy the music, Zvirgzdiņš told me with a grin. A pair of 6" woofers, one on front, the other offset on back, pumped out pretty impressive bass. … I heard plenty of punch and energy from those small speakers, too.

I found the sound remarkably smooth and clean overall, even though I was seated well away from the center position. Of course, the bass sounded remarkably deep for a standmounted design.
