The Penaudio Cenya is a high-end bookshelf speaker designed as a 2-way, reflex-loaded monitor with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. It features a 6-inch Seas Excel magnesium coned midrange/woofer with heavy copper rings above and below the pole piece and a radial reinforced surround, paired with a 20mm ferrofluid cooled textile dome tweeter from Seas, crossed over at 4000Hz. The speaker offers an anechoic frequency response of 45-28000Hz (+-3dB) and an in-room response of 40-25000Hz. It has a sensitivity of 86dB/1m/2.83V and is recommended to be driven by amplifiers of 50 watts or more. The cabinet is made from 19mm Finnish MDF with a custom Finnish birch plywood veneer, emphasizing craftsmanship and elegance. The Cenya is praised for its wide and natural soundstage, detailed yet non-fatiguing treble, and excellent micro- and macrodynamics, making it a reference for 2-way monitors. It includes premium components such as Jorma Design internal wiring, WBT binding posts, SCR polypropylene capacitors, Graditech air-core inductors, and an aluminum reflex pipe. Dimensions are 163 x 280 x 315 mm, and it weighs 8 kg. The Cenya extends the dynamic range of Penaudio's Charisma model while retaining the purity and liquidity of the Rebel 3, embodying Finnish heritage and high craftsmanship.
