Commentary
Why does Vogue Audio include the Crown Power amps? Are these sonically good? Can I use my own amps?
The Crown amps have high power output and tailored built-in crossovers that are superior to passive networks. Sonically these amps are as good or better than many reference amps that we have auditioned and are properly matched to our speakers. If you already own a pair of Crown XLS series amps we can deduct our specified amps from the price. Also we show the Crown amps as an Invoice line item and we do not markup the price.
​
Are the tweeter horns harsh sounding? Is the bass boomy?
No. The Tractrix horn bell shaping coupled with the FaitalPro driver compares to a good ribbon speaker but with focused projection. The dual chambered woofers create a very solid defined bass and veil-free midrange. The bottom woofer is tailored to support frequencies below 125 Hz.
​
Is this a true HIFI speaker or a club speaker?
Our speakers are designed for high fidelity home or professional audio uses. Wide dynamic range and low distortion from just a few Watts to hundreds of Watts.
Reviews
"Vogue Audio invited me to critique their Fireball speaker system (no kickback deals, JMO). First off the black and red carbon fiber look cabinet finishes are impressive. The two large 15" woofers and top mounted modular horn box demonstrates that this is a serious speaker system. The drivers in this system are all commercial/pro-grade units from RCF and FaitalPro of super high efficiency and high power ratings. The network configuration was with the Crown XLS1502 power amps (these amps blow away many class A/B amps, see YouTube videos. Listening to a variety of recordings from Rap to Classical, I was impressed by the powerful bass, natural mids, and airy highs! These speakers deliver lots of clean acoustical power and lifelike presence with no apparent distortion. Male vocals were rich with great body. Percussion sounds had great authority. The high system sensitivity only required about 25 Watts from the Crown DriveCore-2, 525 Watt power amps for room filling volume! The Fireballs would be a hit at parties and in large rooms yet the audiophile and home cinema buff would be very happy to own these. These speakers are suited for those who want a solidly built, musically dynamic high definition performer at a very reasonable price."

"I placed my custom order for a pair of the Vogue Audio Fireball Speakers with a pair of the Crown XLS1502 power amps. The amp crossovers are set for 1200 Hz/24 dB and levels calibrated by Vogue. The kit is ready to go as I added two pairs of Silver Strand speaker cables. The Crown amps support both RCA and XLR inputs (XLR recommended). My DAC will connect directly. This type of speaker is the one I have searching for, as many consumer/high-end speakers fall flat in the dynamics department. I believe that Vogue has made a good choice for the drivers that use quality materials and high sensitivity/power ratings. I will use the speakers in my 18 x 25 listening room. I look forward to my delivery! IMO, these speakers are the real deal."

Follow up: "Speakers arrived in perfect condition. I just slid them out of the carton and placed them in my sound room. Speaker connections are on the top of the cabinets for quick and easy connections. I placed the Crown amps in my system rack but one could place them on top of the speakers. I have yet to hear any so-called high end speakers that compare to the Fireballs. Magnificent, powerful sound, and masterpiece build quality!" FF, Dallas TX

My Fireball speakers recreate a live musical experience in my home. One of my "acid tests" is percussion. The Chiara Cotugno Drum Solo sounds as good as real in my room. The solid and powerful kick drum, the crack of the snare drum, and true brass sounds of the cymbals is phenomenal. These speakers have a natural body and foundation with three dimensional imaging. One will hear for the first time their cherished recordings. The Crown amps compare to many of my class-A amps that I have owned. They are free of glare and very smooth throughout the musical range. Congratulations on creating a wonderful speaker system!
