Grimm Audio LS1be Loudspeakers

Ellington HIFI is pleased to offer this pre-owned pair of Grimm Audio LS1be active loudspeakers.

From the seller -

I am offering the Grimm LS1be active loudspeaker system and its companion premium SB1 subwoofers for sale. This remarkable system has garnered tremendous acclaim from users and critics alike. It is a one-purchase ticket to the upper echelon of high end audio: all you need to add is a digital or analog front end. It has 3 amps and 3 DACs per channel – each one custom designed by Grimm and dedicated to each driver, so you can forget about shelling out for fancy speaker wire and interconnects.

Grimm has its roots in the pro market, and the LS1 is the rare home audio product that blends the best of subjectively amazing sound quality with stellar measurements. As John Atkinson of Stereophile noted: “It is the best measuring loudspeaker I have encountered.” Here are some other raves:
• “Provides among the clearest and most unadorned view into music I’ve had the great pleasure of living with in Barn.” – Michael Lavorgna, Twittering Machines.
• “These are the most immersive, dynamic, detail-rich, nuanced, elegant, engaging, emotional, and yes, musical speakers I have ever heard. By far. This system has impressed me in every way.” --- Positive Feedback
• “At AXPONA 2023…The sound in the Grimm room was blow-me-away gorgeous.”—Stereophile
• “The Grimm LS1be offers a much higher absolute audio quality than all the overpriced astronomical speakers on today’s premium audio market.” Zhong Yi, HiFi Review, Hong Kong
• “If someone came up with the idea to call the LS1 the best speakers he’s ever heard, I would join with a smile.” Max Schlundt, Kultur…Technik, Berlin
My LS1 system is 3 years old, and I am the original owner. It is in excellent condition functionally and cosmetically. The ask price is less than ½ retail of $38,300, based on B&H Video/Audio new listings. Ships in original factory packaging. Shipping within continental U.S. is included for a deal at full asking price. Grab it while it’s still here.

(Note: the LS1be and SB1 offered here are the flagship models for Grimm speakers and subs, respectively. If you are comparison shopping, makes sure it is apples-to-apples. For example, the LS1a speakers and LS1 subs are the entry level models.)

Includes:

Original factory packaging and proprietary Grimm connection cabling. Grimm LS1r -- essentially a digital preamp with remote control - and and Grimm LS1i -- another box that serves as USB interface, are available as options. Pricing can be determined with negotiated sale of speakers and subs.
