Andreas Hans Lange was the man responsible for founding and nurturing Delta Loudspeakers from nearby Lugano, and he is now adding some weight to Faital Pro’s cause in his new capacity with Lange Loudspeakers. Following his departure from Delta last year, he has wasted little time in setting up the new company and developing a portfolio of loudspeakers incorporating the Italian drivers in his designs. ‘We met Mr. Lange quite by chance at a trade fair,’ recalls Mr. Naggi. ‘We kept in contact with one another and, when he left Delta, he asked for some samples.
