The Sound|Kaos WAVE 42 is a two way floor standing monitor with a solid wood enclosure.

It is also the upgrade to the triple award winning WAVE 40. It retains and improves upon the original version’s natural and spell binding sound and now features on-board rather than external x-overs.

The design concept and construction is much closer to musical instrument manufacture than conventional loudspeaker design, and by utilising hardwood ‘tone wood’ for the front panel Sound|kaos has achieved a unique sound which some say is as close to reality as they have heard.

The WAVE 42 has a natural and sweet tone that can truly be spellbinding in the right set up. The RAAL ribbon tweeter gives the sound an airy top end without any trace of aggressiveness, and the mid-band tonality and richness are superb.

Stereo Times said that “the Sound|Kaos WAVE’s are truly musical instruments. Their ability to freely rid themselves of internal energies and more freely project the music played through them adds a new dimension to the listening experience”

We wholeheartedly agree!
