For Cologne-based Vision Ears, the Erlkönig represents the culmination of five years at the top of their game.

Audio Concierge founder Phil Wannell told StereoNET:

“Our clients have the means to be perfectly discerning, to recognise the very best, and to enjoy it. That's exactly what the Erlkönig delivers, in performance and in style. It's the perfect addition to our portfolio.”

The Erlkönig joins a roster of personal-audio products curated by Audio Concierge, a service designed to expressly to save its clients their most important asset: time.

Handcrafted in Cologne, the £4,199 Erlkönig is an elegant powerhouse. A custom-engineered five-way crossover serves the Erlkönig's thirteen drivers; four bass, four midrange, four treble, and a super tweeter. The result is a remarkably consistent response across the entire audible spectrum, enhanced by four superbly rendered listening modes.

All that technology rests in a beautifully designed silver shell graced by one of four interchangeable faceplates. A bespoke cable made of pure OCC silver wires connects the monitors to your choice of source. An elegant wooden case keeps the Erlkönig safe at home, while a stylish leather case does the business on the road.
