Atohm’s new Sirocco 1.24 is a marvelous, intimate TOOL- that will allow you to appreciate exquisite nuances within your recordings. Further, Athom’s aesthetic panache is a pleasure to add to your room.

Not all of us care to blast our brains out with our hi-fi’s. Even if you do have a big rig in your basement or family room, you might want a more precise and sensitive picture of music in your office or den. This can be your sanctuary to appreciate the utmost character of a great musician or singer.

Sirocco 1.24 is a highly refined stand mount speaker made in Atohm’s house in France with 7 year warranty. It has a non boxy sound that is especially good at presenting music with an open, airy quality. Most smallish speakers are slapped together in Chinese job houses. They’re not made to exacting standards. Sirocco 1.24 is built with the same TLC as its more expensive brothers. It just isn’t as powerful.

The beauty of Sirocco 1.24 is, that it will give you the full color and resolution of a great recording. All it lacks is the enormous power- that not everyone needs in a given application.

Whether you’re big fan of singers or acoustic instruments, Sirocco 1.24 offers a clear picture window into the recording. I recommend you consider running the Siroccos with equal quality gear in front of them. Please consider running an Atoll CD player, streamer and integrated amp with them- instead of cheesy Chinese alternatives.

Siroccos have fabulous capabilities in terms of depicting the natural timbre of a great guitar or piano. Please don’t flush that with a pile of chips made in a job house on the other side of the planet.

Here’s a great tune to have a taste. Listen to Grace Potter’s “Apologies.” It is so simple, raw and FULL of character. Sirocco 1.24 will envelope you within Grace’s magic spell. Music like this is why we love great hi-fi gear.

Atohm achieves this level of performance with precision construction of drivers, cabinet and crossover parts. You can read their white paper here. You’ll see they care just as much about the Sirocco Series as their heavy hitters.
