The Grand Master from Hansen Audio

Listening even briefly to the new Hansen Audio loudspeaker THE GRAND MASTER, the ease with which the nuances of the musical performance are captured and the incredible ability to demonstrate dynamic power, are readily apparent and are absolutely startling.
When music is being played through THE GRAND MASTER, the human body naturally begins to relax, letting the essence of the music penetrate the soul. Distortion level has been reduced to such a minute level that the typical loudspeaker “listening fatigue” has now been eliminated.
THE GRAND MASTER leaves the listener experiencing pure joy. While listening to your favourite well-recorded musical piece, pure magic happens.
The result is nothing short of a revelation, an unforgettable musical experience.
The Hansen Audio Exclusive Drivers – A Technological Break Through
THE GRAND MASTER is a 10 driver, 3 way, floor standing speaker using Hansen Audio’s proprietary hand assembled drivers. The four Woofers and the four Mid Band drivers are engineered, designed and manufactured by Hansen Audio to match perfectly the two High Precision Tweeters. All Hansen Audio manufactured drivers use exotic Multi-Layer Composite Sandwich cones, resulting in the best Sound Wave Deformation Prevention in driver technology today. The inert composite sandwich material has no sonic signature and therefore is completely neutral in sound. The finished driver, utilizing our amazing powerful motor assembly, has the fastest attack time, the quickest recovery time and most accurate tracking possible.
Having designed and engineered the finest drivers and crossovers available, the task of designing the perfect enclosure begins. The traditional “panel construction” enclosure had to be abandoned. The result had to be a free flowing organic design to prevent any diffraction distortion. To accomplish this, the graceful enclosure incorporates the exclusive Hansen Audio Sound Wave Diffraction Distortion Elimination technology. The enclosures had to be “Dispersion Coherent”. The finished speaker had to be “Phase Coherent” both acoustically and electrically. The material had to be harder, stronger and more durable than conventional wood products. Most important, the material had to be inert, unlike all conventional wood products. The Hansen Composite Matrix material, with a final layer of material known as the Cloaking Device, is the result of this long and extensive research. The Hansen Composite Matrix material meets all of the desired sonic parameters. A New Standard had been set.
The elegant GRAND MASTER is then finished in the beautiful Hansen Audio Class “A” finish. Call Sounds of Music to find out more...

New from
Canor (formerly known as Edgar Audio). A killer valve combination
and a favourite as SOM.
(NEW)
TP106 VR Integrated Amplifier (£2,995)
Weighing in at 26kg the Canor TP106 is an Integrated Valve Amplifier of truly epic proportions. One of the most important parts of a valve amplifier is the output transformer and Canor (formerly known as Edgar) use a very special one indeed. Married with hand-selected components of superior quality, housed in a double think copper chassis, the whole becomes far greater than the sum of its parts. An Integrated Amplifier that truly stands out from the crowd. We love it! (available in black or silver finish)
(NEW)
CD2 VR CD Player (£2,500)
Weighing in at a substantial 12kg, the Canor CD2 is a beautifully crafted state-of-the-art valve CD wonder. Designed from the ground up, Canor (formerly known as Edgar) have paid special attention to every aspect from chassis vibration through to the hand-made custom power supplies. The CD2 produces a magnificent performance that few can touch at the price. (available in black or silver finish)
