The press covered the large shows in the US and Canada AXPONA Audio Expo North America and Montréal Audiofest extensively and they also visited our demo rooms. Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound for sure was deeply impressed. He offered the LS1c & MU1 the Axpona ‘Best sound (for the money)’ award: “Grimm Audio LS1c loudspeaker and Grimm MU1 streamer system, noted for elegance and musicality”. We feel truly enormously honored by this.
Michael Lavorgna of Twittering Machines writes: “Eelco Grimm of Grimm Audio played a number of carefully curated tracks, I’m guessing one for Robert Harley from The Absolute Sound who was seated next to me including a 1980’s recording of José Carreras performing Ariel Ramirez’s Misa Criolla that was breathtaking through this relaxed yet highly resolving simple yet complex system.”
At the Montreal Audio Fest, Robert Schryer of Stereophile Magazine did a nice video interview with our local dealer François Lemay of Lemay Audio. Robert described his listening experience like this:
“The Grimm Audio system in this room at Montreal Audiofest 2026 was all about seamlessness, coherence, and balance—all that, and a big rich sound within a spacious, many-layered soundstage that was deep and stable with realistic tone and well-defined imaging throughout. There was also a virility to its presentation that made the music sound confident, solidly anchored, and rhythmically spry.”
