With the Grimm LS1 unexpected details appear in the recordings: nothing is hidden, and everything sounds delicious.
Josep Armengol, Revista On Off, Madrid (LS1)
We are honestly not able to assemble a component based system that performs better than this active system from Holland.
Jaap Veenstra, Alpha Audio, Haarlem (LS1a)
This is such an incredibly good speaker.
Jaap Veenstra, Alpha Audio, Haarlem (LS1be)
Those subwoofers are pretty darned impressive. Thanks!
Aaron Garrett, hifi enthusiast, Cambridge (LS1s-dmf)
Grimm's mission to eliminate the sound of the system and present just the original recording seems totally true.
Josep Armengol, Revista On Off, Madrid (LS1)
After all these years I finally have a standard on which I can rely.
Al Pryor, Mack Avenue records, Hempstead (LS1)
For those looking after the exact sound of a recording, the Grimm solution cannot be beat.
Marja Vanderloo & Henk Boot, 6Moons (LS1)
Their natural sound and their unimposing, deep trueness kept overwhelming me and my colleagues.
Bernhard Rietschel, Editor in Chief of AUDIO, Stuttgart (LS1)
The LS1's frequency response is unusually flat - indeed the flattest we've ever measured.
Keith Howard, Hi-Fi News, Croydon (LS1)
My audition of the LS1 was a transformative experience.
George Massenburg, McGill University, Montreal (LS1)
Total peace of mind
Marja Vanderloo & Henk Boot, 6Moons (LS1be)
The jury could only applaud.
Joachim Pfeiffer, Audio Flatscreen Journal, Wuppertal (LS1be)
You must hear that! Absolutely!
Fritz Fey, Studio Magazin, Oberhausen (LS1be)
The LS1 seems to be a melting pot for all your expertises. I just find it fascinating. I am quite certain that the LS1 is at least the very very best 'value' in the market right now.
Wai-Shan Lam, hifi enthusiast, Hong Kong (LS1)
If someone came up with the idea to call the LS1 the best speakers he's ever heard, I would join in with a smile.
Max Schlundt, Kultur...Technik, Berlin (LS1)
One for all and everything.
Fritz Fey, Studio Magazin, Oberhausen (LS1)
The LS1 is by far the best speaker that AUDIO had the pleasure of reviewing in over 35 years; this especially in the two crucial audiophile disciplines of neutrality and detail reproduction.
Wolfram Eifert, AUDIO, Stuttgart (LS1)
The naturalness of the LS1 turns me on big time.
Wolfram Eifert, AUDIOphile, Stuttgart (LS1)
You will have to go to great lengths to find something that matches this sound quality for the same price.
Roy Ervin Solstad, Stereo+, Oslo (LS1)
I had that feeling of an open window into sound, across a wide range of music styles.
Nigel Palmer, Audio Media, London (LS1)
The LS1be has a very beautiful low end, that not only goes to great depth, but is of exceptional pureness.
Marnix Bosman, HVT magazine, Nijmegen (LS1be)
Accurate, transparent and beautiful, that is the Grimm Audio LS1
Jack Liu, AudioArt magazine, Taipei (LS1)
This is a speaker that sets a reference level and everybody should hear it, regardless of whether he intends to buy it or not !
Dimitris Stamatakos, AVMentor, Athens (LS1)
As it turns out, Truth equals Love.
Timothy Roth, Positive Feedback (LS1)
This is probably the most 'correct' loudspeaker I've ever laid ears on. The combined honesty, neutrality and pleasing musicality is at a level that I haven't come across before.
Christian Rechenbach, EinsNull magazin, Duisburg (LS1)
Did Grimm Audio reinvent the loudspeaker?
Bert Oling, Hi-fi Video Test, Nijmegen (LS1)
Best sound of show, stunning, Meisterhaft.
Theo Wubbolts, HVT magazine, Nijmegen (LS1)
Truly, this could be the last system you'll ever buy; an endgame solution.
Marja Vanderloo & Henk Boot, 6Moons (LS1be)
I've played everything from Rammstein to chamber music on these speakers, and they eat everything raw.
Roy Ervin Solstad, Stereo+, Oslo (LS1)
I could not be more impressed.
George Massenburg, McGill University, Montreal (LS1)
These dmf subs are insane! It took me 30 seconds to decide I had to buy them. Authoritative, open, tight, life-like, in one word: wow!
Wessel Oltheten, Spoor 14, Boxtel (LS1s-dmf)
I want to congratulate you for making the best sounding, most phase linear, transient accurate, and all around beautiful speaker system on the planet
Thaddeus Moore, Liquid Mastering, Eugene (LS1)
This is the first plug-n-play, all-in-one, system with true high-end sound.
Marshall Nack, Positive Feedback (LS1)
These are the most immersive, dynamic, detail-rich, nuanced, elegant, engaging, emotional, and yes, musical speakers I have ever heard. By far.
Timothy Roth, Positive Feedback (LS1)
This is the most exciting, strange, beautiful, ridiculously convenient piece of non-audiophile audiophile gear I have seen or heard. These things are a bit science fiction really.
Bogdan Roscic, President Sony Classical, Berlin (LS1)
I’m afraid my english isn’t good enough to describe the overwhelming feeling while listening to music, reproduced by the LS1.
Ulrich Watermann, Berlin (LS1)
The system (...) is the equal of systems of hundred thousands of Euros when it comes to aspects like neutrality, purity and naturalness of tone.
Clemens Wergin, Die Welt, Berlin (LS1)
