Specs, (and Marketing blurb)

 

Countless hours of measuring and Critical listening have gone into making the finest 3-way loudspeaker available. . An impedance curve and electrical phase character like an electrostatic speaker, the final blend of art and technology have made the Grande an uncompromising work of art.

 

The multifaceted enclosure is handcrafted in our own facilities by Danish artisans in a 1.5 inch - 3.0 inch HDF sandwich material covered by 1inch solid wood.
The design was made to optimise the off-axis response and to avoid diffraction. There are no parallel front, back, top or bottom panels to eliminate acoustical waves. The slant of the front panel corrects the phase and timing between tweeter, midrange and woofer.

 

The Scan-Speak tweeter is a non-Ferro fluid 1 inch hand coated silk dome tweeter that includes a SD-2 motor and a magnet system that eliminate phase shift and optimise the linear directivity.

The 6 inch Audiotechnology midrange is hand built and specially designed for optimal midrange behaviour in this enclosure.
The driver features a cone that has been uniquely shaped for this moving system and a vented magnet system that includes Symmetric Drive to optimise the linear directivity.

The 11inch Audiotechnology woofer is hand built and specially designed for the Grande. Using new technology in the moving system makes it the low loss driver. The huge magnet and ventilation system makes the driver reproduce very tight and extremely low frequencies - second to none.

 

The speaker includes an acoustical odd order crossover in the tweeter/midrange section and a third order in the midrange/bas section. Every component has been chosen for its sonic and musical behaviour, with no consideration for cost. The crossover is hardwired with silver solder and sealed in the bottom of the speaker to avoid microfony and to shield it from electrical and magnetic radiation from rest of the system. Peak Consult have chosen to include the best cable available to High End Audio: The purest solid core silver cable from Stereovox.

 

The InCognito Grande boasts an extremely linear frequency response, on-axis as well as of-axis. This makes it a very accurate loudspeaker in a real World environment, becoming InCognito in almost every room even due to the size.

Absolute boat anchors that do Rock and everything in between Roll.

 

@Tubularbells   you need to listen to these.

You should line up a night/arvo to drive out to the compound(it's YUGE!) that's known as Castle Egg abode of Lord Albumen. Zingalli's? Meh. Magico's 3 to 5? Meh. Wilson Watt Puppys? Meh. Huge drink cabinet JBL's? Meh.

Near 200kgs of Danish delish here at ridiculous money.

Can you please tell me were in the Peak Consult range your speakers are , as a few years ago i heard a set of Peak Consult Emporers and they were one of the best speakers i have ever heard  . But it is very difficult to find any information on these speakers  . 

Thank you for your time .

How old are these speakers? and how much were they brand new?

I saw a secondhand pair on a HK site recently for $107000HKD which my handy converter says is roughly 13k USD  so these are a bargain. Also the nutjob whose selling these is a good friend and he has form...he's sold at a huge loss every single item he's ever had in his system. He has an itch that even his doctor can't fix and thus he buys high...listens for awhile...sells low... and at a loss.

 

Yes he's a moron obviously but his loss is your gain.

 

Buy with confidence as his gear is minty.
