Grimm LS1c Speakers
"At AXPONA show, I got my first aural glimpse of the company's prowess when I happened upon the Grimm LS1be active speaker system, fed by the Grimm MU1 streamer/reclocker/upsampler. The sound in the Grimm room was blow-me-away gorgeous. I heard exemplary coherence, speed, and musicality (thanks to clean, taut bass down to 20Hz, and precise, expansive treble). Purity reigned. As I wrote in my show report, "based on admittedly just 15 minutes of listening, I'd take Grimm's tweaked-out statement of excellence over almost any system I heard at AXPONA that costs up to six figures." Stereophile read the review
Overall, the Grimm LS1 offers superb performance in both time and frequency domains. It is the best-measuring loudspeaker I have encountered! —John Atkinson Stereophile
The Grimm Audio LS1c is a special, highly integrated active loudspeaker system that features groundbreaking technology, including its revolutionary TPCD Carbon Tweeter and advanced Digital Motional Feedback (DMF) subwoofer, alongside a complete internal reconstruction with new amplifiers, firmware, and DSP. These innovations provide exceptional audio performance, including unparalleled phase coherence, microdynamics, and a non-fatiguing, natural sound that creates a seamless, "as one" experience between the listener and the music.
