If you’ve ever swung a pent kettlebell or run a mile on one of the brand’s manual treadmills, you’ll know that every element of its designs is polished — every line and curve carefully considered. Now, 15 years after the debut of its first fitness collection, the European company has expanded into audio — and is applying the same rigorous, highly tuned standards.
The collection’s standout is the Gulia speaker, which arrives alongside the Chiara and Aurora models. It’s a flowing, sculptural piece that the brand says “embodies rhythm and movement.” And while also available in walnut and ash, the Gulia is at its smartest in neutral oak — a finish that buyers can select using Pent Audio’s interactive 3D configurator. Premium leathers, metals such as steel and gold, and refined acoustic fabrics can also be customized.
The design itself — asymmetric and eye-catching — elevates an everyday item in much the same way that Pent’s fitness equipment has for over a decade. There are shades of the brand’s stretching and massage roller in the Gulia base, while the conical speaker calls to mind the soft curves of Pent’s leather-trimmed balance trainer.
But this is a different kind of peak performance, one more concerned with decibels than dumbbells. With excellent dynamic range and clean, controlled power driving its multiple amps, the Gulia is tuned to deliver clarity, depth, and balance in sound. Add to that connectivity through Bluetooth, wired connections, and streaming, and you’ve got a sound system that more than pulls its weight.
