Operly Intelligence III 1 loudspeakers in a high end lifestyle setting

Dusseldorf-based loudspeaker manufacturer Operly is launching its flagship Intelligence III Hi-Fi horn-loaded speakers in the UK, and they are, by any measure, remarkable.

With a unique driver design, a patented full-range horn system, and a monocoque body constructed from high-grade fibreglass, the Intelligence III’s striking aesthetic is matched only by its cutting-edge engineering.

We’re told this high-sensitivity audio system ensures speaking voices in the room remain audible even at high volume levels, so you can continue to enjoy your music and talk at the same time.

The Operly Intelligence III is available in a vast assortment of finishes, making it a fully customisable statement speaker that can be tailored to complement any interior design or existing home entertainment setup. All colours featured in the German automotive colour palate are available, including dual colour treatments.

Priced at £33,000 (€37,000 / $40,000) a pair, the Operly Intelligence III represent a serious investment, but for discerning audiophiles who demand nothing but the best in sound quality, the Intelligence III could be horns worth blowing a packet on.
