The British loudspeaker manufacturer Ophidian Audio has unveiled its latest creation, the Seren bookshelf speakers, at the North West Audio Show 2025 in Cheshire, England. Seren represents an amalgamation of high-performance components and refined design, aimed at delivering an exceptional listening experience in compact spaces. Aimed at bridging the gap between the brand’s award-winning M-Series and high-end Ffion models, these standmount speakers are a testament to British craftsmanship and acoustic precision.

Central to the Seren’s design is its 7-inch mid-bass driver, crafted from anodized aluminum and utilizing an advanced cone-to-surround junction. This innovative geometry minimizes internal reflections, enabling smoother performance across the crossover region. Paired with a 22mm Sonolex-coated fabric dome tweeter featuring wide roll surround technology, borrowed from Ophidian’s flagship series, the Seren achieves a delicate yet expansive treble response with minimal distortion. Together, these elements create a sound signature defined by clarity, balance, and depth.

The integration of Aeroflex™ bass-loading technology further distinguishes the Seren. Functioning as a quasi-transmission line, this system optimizes airflow and enhances low-frequency performance while adding structural reinforcement via internal port panels. Coupled with the robust 18mm thick cabinet walls, Aeroflex technology ensures that resonances are suppressed, allowing the speakers to produce articulate bass that belies their compact dimensions. The result is clean, powerful sound that adapts flawlessly to environments ranging from small listening rooms to midsized spaces.

Attention to detail in construction and aesthetics has also been a priority for Ophidian Audio. The cabinetry is finished in real wood veneer, available in elegant walnut or oak options, which underscores the natural warmth of the design. A precision-engineered rear panel, crafted from laser-cut stainless steel, enhances durability, while the WBT chromium-plated binding posts ensure reliable and high-quality speaker cable connections. Magnetic grilles provide versatility, allowing users to maintain clean lines without compromising protection.

The Seren bookshelf speakers boast impressive specifications, including a frequency response from 40Hz to 25kHz, sensitivity rated at 88dB, and an impedance of 8 Ohms. Recommended amplifier power ranges between 50 and 150 watts, while each unit weighs approximately 9.5kg. Measuring 380 x 200 x 350mm, Seren strikes the perfect balance between compactness and substance. Scheduled for release in the UK this July, the recommended retail price is £2,800 per pair.
