FAQs

Every unit is handcrafted in Poland, with meticulous attention to technical and aesthetic details. We use natural materials – wood, plywood, metal – and collaborate with skilled local craftsmen. Our designs are not only acoustically refined but also visually elegant, bringing harmony and style to modern interiors. For us, design and sound are equally important.

Each pair is built by hand in our workshop in Poland. The process typically takes 4–6 weeks, depending on the selected finish and current production schedule.

Closer Acoustics is a Polish audio manufactory born from a passion for music and craftsmanship. We create full-range loudspeakers and tube amplifiers that bring the feeling of a live concert into your home – reflected in our motto: “Take live music home.” Our products combine natural sound, simple, precise construction, and clean, elegant design, making them part of your interior, not just equipment.

BLOCKS is a modular high-fidelity audio system that combines OKHO full-range loudspeakers, BOB MKII bass modules, BLANK stands, and an Anti-Vibration Platform. Each component can be used independently or as part of a complete setup — offering both flexibility and uncompromising sound quality.

Allegra performs best in medium to large rooms (from 15 m² and up). With careful placement and adequate space behind the speakers, she delivers a spacious and coherent soundstage with excellent depth and imaging.

Vigo performs best in medium to large rooms (15 m² and above). Adequate space behind the speakers ensures a wide, deep soundstage and fully immersive listening experience.

Yes. Its full-range driver and wide frequency response make Forlane suitable for classical, jazz, electronic, and acoustic music, offering excellent clarity and coherence across all genres.

Yes. You can choose from several wood veneer options and custom finishes. Each pair is handcrafted to order, allowing us to match your OGY speakers to your interior design or system aesthetics.

We are passionate about full-range drivers, which deliver exceptionally coherent, organic, and direct sound. This approach reveals the true character of recordings – the space, the nuances, the presence of musicians – in a way that traditional multi-way speakers often cannot. Our philosophy is honest and minimalist: fewer components, more musical truth. Full-range speakers aren’t for everyone, but for those who love acoustic music, jazz, vocals, or electronic music, they offer an unparalleled listening experience.

Unlike conventional systems, BLOCKS was designed around the principle of mechanical and acoustic isolation. The stands and anti-vibration platform effectively suppress unwanted resonance, allowing the loudspeakers to perform with exceptional clarity, stability, and depth.

For optimal results, place Allegra at least 60–80 cm from the back wall and angle them slightly toward the listening position. This setup enhances stereo imaging and tonal balance, allowing the speakers to “disappear” and let the music fill the room naturally.

Yes. While the EMS LB12 driver covers a wide frequency range (40 Hz – 16 kHz), an optional EMS tweeter extends the upper range to nearly 20 kHz, adding extra “air” and spaciousness. The tweeter is sold separately.

Forlane excels with tube amplifiers, especially low-power SET designs, which reveal its natural dynamics and clarity. It also pairs well with refined solid-state amplifiers of moderate power.

OGY performs best in small to medium-sized rooms (up to around 25–30 m²). Thanks to its open, direct character, it can create a wide and engaging soundstage even in compact spaces.

It comes from a simple idea – to feel music at home as you would at a live concert. No filters, no over-processing, no distance between you and the musicians. Every product we create is designed to bring the listener closer to the music, to capture the energy, emotion, and authenticity of a live performance.

Yes. The system is fully modular and upgradeable. You can start with OKHO speakers, add BOB MKII bass modules, or experiment with placement and spacing to create your ideal listening environment. BLOCKS evolves with your needs and musical preferences.

Allegra offers a balanced middle ground between the compact precision of OGY and the grand scale of Vigo. With her 8-inch full-range driver, she delivers greater body and warmth than OGY while maintaining the same coherence and natural presentation — ideal for listeners seeking refinement and intimacy.

Absolutely. Experimenting with placement can influence soundstage, imaging, and tonal balance. Adjusting distance from walls, angle, and spacing allows you to discover the optimal setup for your listening environment.

The distributed resonance cabinet eliminates standing waves and avoids damping materials, resulting in clean, fast bass and preserved midrange liveliness, allowing the driver to perform at its absolute best.

Because a single driver can best preserve the coherence and integrity of music. Without a crossover, the sound remains pure and continuous. This solution demands care and precision but rewards the listener with natural, uncolored sound. It’s our way of delivering music in its most authentic form.

OGY truly shines with acoustic, jazz, vocal, and classical music, where its clarity, speed, and tonal balance reveal every nuance of the performance. It is not designed for heavy rock or high-energy electronic music, as its full-range single driver focuses on naturalness rather than power or deep bass extension.

Absolutely. The system was created to encourage experimentation. You can position the OKHO and BOB MKII modules in various ways — stacked, separated, or angled — depending on your room and preferences. Each configuration brings out a different acoustic character, letting you discover the sound that resonates most with you.

Yes. While Allegra shines with acoustic, jazz, and classical recordings, her clarity and linearity allow her to handle a wide range of genres — from ambient to world music and even refined electronic compositions.

Yes. Vigo’s full-range driver reproduces music with remarkable coherence and detail, making her suitable for classical, jazz, electronic, blues, world music, and more. Her dynamics and speed ensure that every genre is expressive and engaging.

Forlane performs best in small to medium-sized rooms (10–25 m²). Adequate spacing from walls enhances the depth and width of the soundstage.

Where are BLOCKS components made?

Allegra performs beautifully with high-quality tube amplifiers, especially low-power SET designs. They bring out her natural warmth, dynamics, and transparency. However, she also pairs well with refined solid-state amplifiers of moderate power.

Vigo performs exceptionally with high-quality tube amplifiers, particularly low-power SET designs like the 300B. They highlight her natural dynamics, tonal clarity, and depth. Vigo also pairs well with refined solid-state amplifiers of moderate power
