Siare Delta200 monitor loudspeakers

500€
for the pair

Monitoring "à la française"

Siare, an acronym for Société Industrielle d’Applications Radioélectriques et Électroacoustiques, was founded in France and specializes in the production of professional loudspeakers. The brand reached its peak in the 1970s, particularly with this model, the Delta 200.

The Siare Delta 200, produced between 1977 and 1979 among the "200" series of high-end monitors, is the result of extensive research and incorporates techniques tested on the Delta M4 prototype. Designed to deliver high performance, it was intended to serve as a reference in professional installations while maintaining moderate dimensions for optimal listening comfort, even at low volume.

The three speakers are in-house designs, made from pressure-injected alloy, and are especially distinguished by their dual-chamber bass-reflex design. The horn-loaded tweeter ensures optimal high-frequency dispersion, providing an open and three-dimensional soundstage. The emission central points are vertically aligned with a tiered front panel, reminiscent of Georges Cabasse designs.

Even before listening, the build quality and meticulous design stand out. The veneer, which even extends to the back panel, is stunning. The robustness and refinement of the speaker grilles are rarely seen elsewhere. The white diaphragms and metallic inserts add a lot of character to the speaker.

Upon listening, we immediately understand the reviews shared online: finesse, balance, never tiring even after long fusion jazz sessions, with an impressive three-dimensional spatial definition that makes the sound feel airy and fills the entire room with music. The bass is deep, full, and well-controlled, extending low with precision — no booming or dragging effects. The sound remains detailed, faithful, and monitor-like.

As mentioned in the manufacturer's specifications, an amplifier capable of properly driving this setup will be necessary, as a large enough listening room. A real discovery at a very competitive price/performance ratio

Tested, cleaned, deoxydized. Filters are perfect, as are the components in and out.

The grilles have been steamed for sanitation.

Perfect working condition, see the photo gallery for cosmetic signs of patina and age.

The stands are not part of the sale.
