Highland Audio Oran 4305
Floorstanding hi-fi speaker with titanium tweeter and genuine cherry wood veneer, designed for precise listening in a refined interior.
Description
The Oran 4305 is a floorstanding speaker from Highland Audio, designed for hi-fi listening at home. Its slender silhouette and genuine cherry wood veneer finish make it a piece of furniture in its own right, designed to blend into a refined living room while remaining visible.
The titanium dome tweeter combined with a metal-ceramic diaphragm aims for precise reproduction of treble and midrange, with a frequency response described as very linear and good phase and impulse behaviour. The internal silver-plated OFC copper wiring limits signal loss between internal components, while the high-end terminal allows for bi-wiring, making it possible to separate the connections to the bass and treble sections in order to fine-tune the setup.
This speaker is aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts looking for a floorstanding speaker capable of delivering a wide and detailed sound image, within a carefully assembled stereo configuration. Its finish also makes it a relevant choice for those seeking an aesthetic piece of furniture as much as a demanding sound source.

What to check before buying used
The genuine cherry wood veneer sometimes shows micro-cracks or dulled areas over time: examining it under raking light helps identify knocks and chips on the cabinetry. The bass driver suspensions deserve particular attention, as hardening or tearing of the surround affects performance in the low end. It is also worth checking that the bi-wiring terminal has not been forced or oxidised, and listening to the titanium dome tweeter at moderate volume to detect any crackling that might indicate a worn component.
