LiveHorn Grand Horizon Loudspeakers
THE GRAND HORIZON ARE THE NEW LOUDSPEAKER FROM FRENCH HIFI BRAND LIVEHORN
The Grand Horizon model from LiveHorn is described by the maker as “a timeless sculpture evoking the look of the first gramophones”.
LiveHorn is a new loudspeaker manufacturer located in France, founded by engineer, Michel Fesquet.
MULTIAMPLIFICATION AND DIGITAL FILTERING
Resulting from serval years of research and development, LiveHorn uses horns in association with multi-amplification and digital filtering. Each loudspeaker is time aligned and the response curve of the entire chain is linearized for neutrality.
MADE IN FRANCE
LiveHorn’s loudspeakers are designed, manufactured, and assembled in France near Paris. The carpentry is done by hand in a small workshop. A constant concern for quality guides each step of the manufacturing process. Each set requires more than four months of handcrafted work.
LIVEHORN GRAND HORIZON LOUDSPEAKERS
LiveHorn Grand Horizon Loudspeakers are made in France to order and are customisable. When finished they are installed and adjusted at your home. It is possible to adapt the materials and the colours, and to complete the system with a network player, a turntable, or a CD player, or to couple it with a home cinema setup. LiveHorn calibrates the speaker during installation, to minimise disturbances due to the acoustics of the room.
