- Page 4 S P r E z z a T u r a Famous for his ‘Il Libro Del Cortegiano’ (The Book of the Courtier, 1528), Renaissance humanist Baldesar Castiglione coined the word ‘sprezzatura’ to describe the ideal for courtly behaviour. He insisted that in order to be worthy, exceptional virtuosity should be conveyed with an unaffected, effortless dignity.

A pure ribbon tweeter is highly regarded in the world of high-end audio as being the best way to reproduce ultra-high frequencies and provide the most lifelike transient response. While this belief is well supported by fundamental physics, one listen will tell you that this driver is very special indeed.
- Page 14 To optimise the performance of the RDT cone, Monitor Audio has developed motor systems in which a focused magnetic gap and copper eddy rings work together to produce a higher level of linearity and lower distortion than was previously possible.
- Page 16 ARC material, a thermo-set polymer loaded with minerals to provide very inert, optimally-damped components. Refined for Platinum by Monitor Audio’s engineers, this type of material is used for leading-edge automotive design and is ideal for acoustic applications where a high degree of structural rigidity and vibration damping is required.
