Jupiter Audio offers two unique speakers each designed with its own distinct and powerful features. Our speakers are made of highest quality materials with precise craftsmanship and dedication. We build each speaker with the idea that its going into our own house so you may rest assured that the quality is there.
After the completion of each speaker we do a thorough test by using the only technique that really matters--listening to some music. |

Callisto mk ll | The Callisto Desktop Loudspeaker
The buck had to stop somewhere. I don’t think I’m the only one that’s sick of seeing the game of limbo that’s going on the world of consumer electronics: how low can the price go? Needless to say, cheap price invariably equates to cheap quality. Witness the exciting world of computer speakers. A few brands actually poise themselves at being “upscale”, and some have glommed on to the name iPod, calling themselves “iPod speakers”, but across the board, especially if you’re an audiophile, you have to dismiss them as cheap, plastic, and sonically uninvolving. This is the state of the art? Yeesh.

Europa | The birth of a loudspeaker
Okay, so I've got this idea for what I want to do with a speaker system, now what? The next step was to go shopping for some drivers. Several things came into play: reasonable cost, a brand or brands that people hadn't heard of a million times over, and something not quite on the beaten path in terms of driver technology. A ribbon tweeter eventually sprung to mind, because, however good conventional tweeters are (and some are very, very good), there is still something utterly conventional about them both in terms in looks and sound.

Europa Active
I used to think audio was simple. A certain amount of "going with the flow" was required, because the pundits sure made it seem that the pundits were always right. Thus, an audio system--an especially good one, of course--consisted of a source component, a preamp, and amp, and a pair of speakers. Some companies, mostly British hi-fi or American pro-audio companies, have used or continue to use active speakers, either with internal or external amplifiers, but that is very far from the norm in the average audiophile system. The reasons for actively biamping have been cut and dried for decades now, but for some inexplicable reason this has always been relegated to the fringes of consumer audio.

Ganymede
What does it all mean? The Ganymede is one of the most, clean, clear, and neutral sounding speakers money can buy at any price. It might sound too good to be true, but it will become readily apparent during the first listening session. The first thing one notices when sitting down to listen to the Ganymedes is that the bass response is HUGE. Huge, like "where's the subwoofer?" huge. But, as it is with the Subterfuge it is very accurate to musical notes at the same time. The difference between the bass in the Ganymede and the Subterfuge, though, is that the bass response in the Subterfuge is tuned to a lower frequency, so a tradeoff is made between quality and quantity.

Subterfuge
I've got some bad news for you folks: the subwoofers currently available for consumer purchase aren't good. Actually, there is stronger verbiage that I could use other than "aren't good", but we'll go with that for now. Several problems have arisen with the popularity of home theater, and one of the biggest is that "gets the job done" cop out with respect to powered subwoofers. Nearly all of them are vinyl clad, ugly, boring, sonically unsound affairs that do more things wrong than do right. Well there is a solution to all of this. Learn more about our sub...

Subterfuge A
“Why have two versions of the same subwoofer?” would be the first question I’d ask. It’s simple: the Subterfuge, from the get-go, was designed to do double duty for both music and movies. The Subterfuge A (the “A” is for Audiophile) has an upgraded amplifier section designed mainly for use in music applications to reinforce the bottom end of speakers that need a little help in the bottom few octaves.
