Anton has a combination of qualities unavailable in any other speaker.
While able to faithfully reproduce the most delicate musical repertoire such as classical string instruments and voices, Anton can play back recordings of the most powerful genres such as pop, rock, and house music, with deep bass, punch, dynamics and pinpoint imaging.
Based on new pro audio speaker driver technology, Anton’s 15” woofer with coaxial compression driver tweeter simply won’t come near clipping with even the most demanding recordings. At the same time, with soft music, the sound is warm, clear, and open, with a high level of detail including reproducing the harmonics, air and acoustic space.

The speaker driver is the motor
Daniel Hertz is an engineering company dedicated to maximum performance and minimalist design. Reproducing music without compromise is like building an F1 car - the foundation is the math. Anton is based on a high performance 15” coaxial driver with specifications and performance beyond any speaker available (short of the DH M1 Delta which is 10 times the price). Anton’s 15” coaxial driver moves more air faster and cleaner, with astonishing acceleration, efficiency, power handling, deep bass extension and pinpoint imaging. The DH in-house designed crossover enables amazing linear response across the audio band. The cabinet is made with carefully engineered dimensions, high mass wood with internal bracing, and precisely tuned. Like a 1200 HP V12 motor, Anton’s 15” coaxial driver delivers performance you can’t get another way.
Titanium Finish
Anton is made with a new type of finish from Italy – a dark grey titanium paint. This finish is modern and fresh, not glossy but has life like metal. The dark grey finish matches with most interior décor.
Anton’s titanium finish and appearance reflect the no-nonsense, no-frills purpose of this speaker: to deliver maximum performance with natural sound, wide dynamic range and deep bass with minimalist, elegant design.
Designer options including wood sides and other colors at additional cost.
Power requirements
50W of power with Anton produces sound pressure level (Spl) of 118dB, that would require 800W with a typical speaker with efficiency of 87dB. Even if an amplifier could put out 800 W, almost no high end audio speaker can take it. Not all repertoire requires wide dynamic range. But no-compromise music reproduction with recordings from all genres and eras cannot be achieved without dynamic range beyond what is available from even the most expensive high end audio speakers. Anton sets you free with unprecedented dynamic range capability.
High efficiency means you hear more of the recording
As a professional musician and acclaimed recording and mastering engineer, Mark Levinson has dedicated 50 years to advancing music reproduction. With Anton, he puts the performance to reproduce more of the recording with reach of more people.
There are two things you can do with electrical information - turn it into sound or heat. The lower the efficiency of a speaker, the more of the recording is turned into heat, and therefore inaudible.With astonishing efficiency of 99.5dB, Anton lets you hear more of the recording than any typical high end audio speaker.
Beware of efficiency ratings that claim 90dB or more. Most are sensitivity ratings at 4 ohms, not efficiency ratings (8 ohms). Subtract 3dB for the equivalent efficiency rating at 8 ohms. Typical speakers are in the 82dB-89dB range.
Anton is made in Italy
Every part of Anton is hand built in Italy, including the 15” coaxial driver, cabinet, crossover, rear connector panel, and Daniel Hertz speaker connectors. Daniel Hertz parts are made by small family owned companies in the area, specialized on low volume high quality production. The Daniel Hertz team working in Venice (Marghera) take pride in their work and build each product as if it were for their own use.
Some of the finest string instruments in the world were built in this region in the 17th and 18th centuries by great masters. Many of these instruments live on today, played by musicians who treasure them. Mark Levinson chose to build Daniel Hertz products in this area, inspired by these instrument makers who worked to a standard, not a price.
Long term satisfaction and pride of ownership
Personally designed by Mark Levinson, Anton is built to deliver long term satisfaction for more than one generation of music lovers. Highest quality materials, the most demanding specifications, precision engineered parts, artisanal craftsmanship, attention to detail and reasonable price make Anton a highly desirable speaker for the most demanding music lover.
Speaker connectors
Anton is made with Daniel Hertz in-house made speaker connectors that offer maximum performance and reliability, with virtually no limit in voltage or current.
Daniel Hertz makes its own speaker connectors to achieve the best possible signal transmission. Bare wire connection eliminates 8 solder joints and additional metal parts in a stereo speaker system. Spade lugs are also accepted. Banana type connectors are not accepted due to their inherent limitations in voltage and current. A Delrin cap presses two machined brass plates together, sandwiching the wire with strong pressure. A Daniel Hertz speaker connector tightening tool is included to ensure adequate tightening force.

Maria 350 – the ideal amplifier to drive Anton
Anton can be powered by any good amplifier, even 1W tube amplifiers, due to it’s high efficiency and 8 ohms impedance. However, the Maria 350 is the ideal match for Anton due to its extremely pure sonic quality, speed, detail, low distortion, punch, wide dynamic range, inaudible noise, exclusive embedded C Wave and speaker tuning technology.
15” coaxial speakers are a challenge to design due to the limitations of audio technology. The speaker tuning software embedded in the Maria 350 enables fine tuning which overcomes these limitations to enable exceptionally smooth, linear sonic performance, with the advantages of 15” coaxial performance.
