Morgan Acoustics has appeared on the scene as a new British brand, bringing out a single model called the Ten-12. There’s a promise of unfiltered musical impact, with a focus on delivering the raw energy of live performances. Even at low volume, the design philosophy suggests a blend of wide frequency coverage, ultra-low distortion, and precise transient response that sparks genuine enthusiasm for a lifelike presentation.
The company claims a scientific approach and relies on high-grade components to achieve a powerful low-frequency punch, a convincing midrange for vocals, and top-end detail that extends beyond human hearing. The cabinet seems to be divided into two separate sections, which points to a carefully managed internal sound structure. Each detail is meant to retain the delicate textures and dynamics that audiophiles often crave.
News about these speakers is building, and they’re set to be showcased at the Bristol HiFi Show 2025 from February 21 to 23. The Ten-12 stands out as a four-way floorstander, featuring an Air Motion Transformer tweeter, a 6.5-inch midrange, a 10-inch mid-bass driver, and a 12-inch woofer. Sensitivity is rated at 93 dB (1 W/1 m), with an impedance of 4 ohms and a reported frequency response stretching from 24 Hz to 30 kHz.
Dimensions come in at roughly 116 cm tall, 28 cm wide, and 42 cm deep, with a standard Piano Black finish or custom options. The manufacturer highlights that every aspect aims to reinforce the feeling of a live performance in a home space, where bass drum kicks are meant to be felt, vocals appear right in front, and instruments gain a vivid sense of texture and realism.
