Davis Acoustics Courbet n°4 matte black (pack of 2)

The Courbet n°4 by Davis Acoustics is a floor-standing speaker designed in France, combining meticulous design with high-quality sound. With its precise acoustic approach, it reflects the brand’s expertise and delivers an immersive listening experience suitable for various setups.

Cutting-Edge Acoustic Technology

At the heart of the Courbet n°4 lies a two-way bass-reflex configuration, a result of Davis Acoustics’ expertise in speaker design. The 28 mm soft fabric dome tweeter, derived from the TW28CD range, ensures precise and detailed reproduction of high frequencies. Its resonance frequency, pushed beyond 25 kHz, guarantees exceptional clarity and distortion-free performance within the audible spectrum.

For midrange and bass frequencies, Davis Acoustics has chosen a next-generation 130 mm Kevlar driver. This diaphragm, paired with a machined metal phase plug, delivers a linear frequency response from 50 to 4000 Hz. The circular front-facing bass-reflex port optimizes low-frequency response while making speaker placement in the room more flexible.

A Balanced and Immersive Sound Signature

The Courbet n°4 stands out for its ability to create a wide, three-dimensional soundstage, giving the impression of much larger speakers. Its sound reproduction is characterized by delicacy and naturalness across the entire audible spectrum. The midrange is present and organic, seamlessly blending with luminous and smooth high frequencies, offering instruments a striking realism.

One of the Courbet n°4’s key strengths is its overall balance. The bass integrates perfectly with the rest of the spectrum, contributing to remarkable sonic coherence. This neutrality allows the speaker to adapt to all musical genres, from classical to rock, jazz, and world music. Transparency and definition are on point, delivering impressive precision across registers without ever becoming excessive or causing listener fatigue.

Easy Integration into Your Audio System

With a sensitivity of 90 dB and a nominal impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, the Courbet n°4 is relatively easy to drive. However, it does require quality amplification capable of delivering sufficient current to fully exploit its potential. Its nominal power of 90 W and maximum power of 130 W provide ample headroom for dynamic and immersive listening sessions.

For optimal integration, Davis Acoustics recommends leaving at least 30 cm of space from rear and side walls. A minimum distance of 2 meters between the speakers and a slight toe-in towards the listening area will ensure optimal sound spatialization. The decoupling spikes included with each speaker help refine bass reproduction by isolating the speaker from floor vibrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Courbet n°4 suitable for home theater use?

While primarily designed for stereo music listening, the Courbet n°4 can seamlessly integrate into a home theater system as front speakers. Its ability to faithfully reproduce voices and its dynamic range will contribute to an immersive cinematic experience.

Can the Courbet n°4 be used without its acoustic grille?

Absolutely. The acoustic grille is magnetically attached and can be removed without affecting sound performance. Some listeners even prefer listening without the grille for enhanced transparency, while appreciating the clean aesthetic of the speaker’s front panel.
