For 35 years Apertura has offered to music lovers around the world, a range of speakers without compromise.
Our approach has nothing to do with received ideas and passing fads, but rather a long and painstaking work of “reinvention” of what makes a great system.
An ideal which combines unusual means with the beauty of the object and originality of design.
Our approach is rigorous and animated by a constant concern for quality.
STELA completes the Apertura speaker compact range already composed of Swing and Sensa.
With a 2-way, 3-driver architecture, this floorstander speaker has the same qualities as Swing and Sensa, but offers a higher level of performance in terms of bass response and dynamic capability.
STELA – successfully premiered at Munich High End shows 2022

Fidelity Music und Hifi, a German Hifi magazine publishes a wonderful test on Enigma mkII
« The Apertura Enigma MkII represents an outstanding value and is easily competitive with speakers costing far more. While it doesn’t surpass the performance of the awe-inspiring Zellaton Stage [US Price 90,000US$], it comes surprisingly close in many sonic attributes. Its imaging, clarity, and coherence are first-rate, and its high sensitivity (95dB) makes it easy to drive. What it lacks in air and extension on the deepest pedal tones, it more than makes up for in lowend coherence with the rest of its range. To surpass its excellent performance, you’ll have to spend a lot more, and may have to sacrifice some consistency, soundstaging, focus, control, and efficiency.
If you are in the market for a superb loudspeaker under $50k, you owe it to yourself to audition the Apertura Enigma MkII. You will very likely surprise yourself—and save a bundle in the process. »
Thanks to our long and distinguished expertise in high end speakers, designing an elegant, performing and compact speaker was a challenge we needed to meet.
SENSA and SWING share the same sober design for which the load volume remains optimum.
SWING is a versatile speaker : stand mounted as a classical use, simply laid on a piece of furniture or integrated in a bookcase to comply with space constraints.
Our wish, when developing SENSA & SWING was to create small-size speakers that could fit in any limited interiors.
The new shape we developed combines an original design, simple and elegant while maintaining an optimal load volume.
SENSA is ARMONIA’s Worthy descendant. They share the same main features and concern for perfection inherent to the Apertura brand.
In the logical continuity of Sensa, the range is extended with the arrival of its big sister STELA.
This new floorstanding speaker, slightly larger in size, allows for greater depth in the lower end of the spectrum, thanks to the use of two bass/midrange drivers.
The speed of the woofers double emissive surface, and by the special version of the tweeter with a dual ferrite motor.
Thanks to its nominal impedance held at 8 ohms, Stela will be less demanding in terms of power for the electronics that will be associated with it, but will be able to keep up with the most musical and performing amplifiers.
Its design is based on the same principles found in our most ambitious models: Multiple materials standing waves treatment—coloration free—Original crossover technology with adjusted values based on individual drivers measurements.
The ARMONIA is the second model in the Apertura range that comes in an alternative and more performing version: The ARMONIA Evolution.
The concept remains unchanged : using the same basis but with the implementation of a bigger ribbon tweeter and a brand new cross-over, we are now able to offer a loudspeaker which surpass the performances of our best seller, ARMONIA.
ARMONIA Evolution has also a new cabinet design, making this new speaker even more elegant. And as for all other models, great attention is given to the smallest details.
The idea with EDENA Evolution was to offer an improved version of the EDENA while keeping a reasonable price difference.
With new high-performance tweeter and a brand new cross over, the result goes beyond our expectations.
We are happy to present this new speaker in 2018, the year we celebrate 35 years of Apertura. This new 2 ways – 2 drivers floor standing speaker maintains the tradition of her famous predecessors: Tanagra Signature and Variation.
This new tweeter, as well as all other new details of EDENA Evolution, brings this new speaker one step further in terms of musical performance. An obvious resolution gain in the mid-high section compared with the basic version makes it a fully new model.
Derivered from the experience gained on ENIGMA, Apertura is proud to introduce ADAMANTE.
ADAMANTE is the missing link between the ONIRA and the ENIGMA mkII. This speaker combined in a compact design two 6.5” mid-woofers like on ONIRA, with the bigger ribbon tweeter available, first seen on ENIGMA.
ENIGMA mkII is Apertura new 2 ways flagship model.
This new version, called mkII, is based on the same configuration as the original ENIGMA, with two 22cm woofers and a very big ribbon tweeter. All the other elements and the crossover have been redesigned in order to achieve the best performance ever.
The load has been optimized with a special care on mechanical and electromagnetic damping of every drivers.
