Founded in 2010 by owner and designer Stavros Danos in Limassol, Cyprus, Aries Cerat emerged as a revolutionary high-end audio brand that challenged traditional industry conventions with the confidence to 'throw out the audio designers rule book.' Despite Cyprus being an unexpected location for a boutique electronics manufacturer, the exceptional performance of their designs quickly established international recognition. Under the leadership of CEO and Head Designer Stavros Danos, who began studying electronics as a teenager before pursuing mechanical and aeronautical engineering studies at the University of Patras, the company has propelled itself ahead of competitors through groundbreaking technological innovations unmatched in the industry. Operating as both Aries Cerat Limited (registration ΗΕ 261699) and Aries Cerat Innovation Ltd, the company started as a speaker and audio electronics development firm, initially creating amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, and sources as lab tools for speaker development that later materialized into their comprehensive electronics series. Aries Cerat specializes in producing very large, radical, and exceptionally high-performing audio products without the traditional constraints of size or weight limitations, prioritizing sonic performance above all else. Their innovative product lineup includes the world's first True Single-Ended Single Stage Amplifier capable of maintaining stability down to 1 ohm, proprietary TriodeFet technology breakthrough, Exsequor monoblock amplifiers, Kassandra DAC series (all R2R designs with tube output stages), Impera preamplifiers, and the Contendo and Symphonia horn speaker systems. Based at 52 Vasileos Pavlou A', 3052 Limassol, Cyprus, with additional operations at 5 Konstantinoupoleos, 3011 Limassol, Aries Cerat has established itself as a state-of-the-art audio manufacturer serving the global high-end audio market through authorized distributors worldwide.
