NOLA Contender 2 Floorstanding Loudspeaker

A slim, three-way floorstander designed for coherence, speed, and full-range musical balance.

The Contender 2 is a true three-way loudspeaker from NOLA, built around a vertically aligned driver array to preserve phase integrity and image stability. Its narrow front baffle and tall cabinet are engineered to reduce diffraction while maintaining strong low-frequency authority.

A 1" silk-dome tweeter handles high frequencies, while dual 6.5" cone drivers operate in a reflex-loaded enclosure to deliver articulate bass and a natural, unforced midrange. The crossover is hand-wired and designed to maintain tonal consistency and dynamic ease across a wide range of listening levels.

With moderate sensitivity and a benign 8 Ω load, the Contender 2 pairs comfortably with both solid-state and tube amplification, making it a flexible choice for serious two-channel systems.
