Italian loudspeaker manufacturer Bottega Audio has introduced the Galileo 335, a meticulously crafted three-way loudspeaker system from Trieste that merges acoustic accuracy with the sophistication of Italian design. As the company’s latest flagship model, the Galileo 335 embodies years of innovation and aims to redefine the standards of high-end loudspeakers. Bottega presents the Galileo 335 not merely as a speaker, but as a work of art and a medium for sonic expression. The company asserts that the Galileo 335 exemplifies both sonic fidelity and design elegance, featuring a sculptural aesthetic and premium materials like Alcantara for its trim.
The Bottega Audio Galileo 335 acoustic systems feature a three-band design housed in a closed enclosure. The high frequencies are handled by a 28-mm silk dome tweeter, while the midrange is produced by a dynamic driver with a 7-inch cone-shaped diaphragm. The low frequencies are delivered by a substantial 13-inch driver with a paper cone. The manufacturer rates the sensitivity of this model at 90 dB, with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. Its operational frequency range spans from 20 Hz to 25 kHz (±3 dB). Each pair of Galileo 335 speakers is meticulously hand-assembled, reflecting Bottega Audio’s commitment to detail and craftsmanship. The outcome, according to the company, is a speaker that provides exceptional clarity and control, effectively conveying the emotion and subtleties of music—what they refer to as ‘revealing the soul of sound.’
The introduction of the Galileo 335 loudspeakers signifies a significant milestone for Bottega Audio, which was established in 2005 by founders Salvatore and Davide, both of whom are seasoned musicians and artisans. They started a modest audio workshop in Trieste with the ambition to design loudspeakers that not only reproduced sound but also captured the warmth and emotion of a live performance. What initially served as a haven for music enthusiasts and local artists has transformed into a distinguished brand recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to musicality.
The Bottega Audio Galileo 335 three-way loudspeakers are now available for purchase at a price of $44,500 per pair. Customers can choose from matte or glossy cabinet finishes, along with options for Alcantara, leather, or wood front panels. The precision-engineered aluminum support comes in black, natural silver, or anodized finishes.
