Lyravox

Lyravox is a revolutionary German audio manufacturer headquartered at Jaffestraße 6, 21109 Hamburg, founded by co-managing directors Götz M. von Laffert and Jens R. Wietschorke, who established the company with a mission to reform audio through holistic audio system design that transforms how we consume music and integrate sophisticated audio systems into our lives and homes. Operating as Lyravox Verwaltungs GmbH and Lyravox Gerätemanufaktur GmbH & Co. KG, the Hamburg-based manufacturer revolutionized high-resolution audio with their comprehensive approach to audio system design, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology, masterful craftsmanship, and deep understanding of music interaction to create handcrafted, high-fidelity audio systems that integrate reference audio quality, convenient functionality, interior friendliness, and fine craft cabinetry. The company's philosophy centers on employing the best possible speaker drivers, building lossless perfectly tuned audio chains and cabinets, and forming systems that aesthetically, functionally, and physically integrate into owners' lives, with products featuring advanced materials like Accuton® ceramic and diamond drivers powered by state-of-the-art Pascal® amplifiers managed through high-resolution DSP technology. Lyravox's K-Series includes flagship models KARL and KARLOTTA (first active, fully integrated floor-standing speakers setting new audiophile standards, priced around EUR 50,000), compact KARLOS (ultimate 2-way system with superlative sonic properties), KARLINA II (derived from KARLOTTA benchmark for living room compatible high-end audio, handling rooms up to 60 m² at live concert levels), and the innovative Stereomaster wall-mounted audio systems that combine excellent stereo performance with perfect aesthetic integration. Distinguished by Hamburg craftsmanship where local carpenters create curved fronts layer by layer with piano lacquer finishes before final assembly in Lyravox's workshop, the company embodies Hanseatic values and Hamburg's worldwide reputation for music and handcrafted products, as emphasized by founders who describe themselves as 'avowed Hamburg fans' representing the city's cultural heritage. With expansion targets including Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, Middle and Far East, and USA markets, Lyravox continues developing larger and more elaborate products beyond their current SM2-170 and SM2-200 models, maintaining their commitment to throwing audiophile dogmas overboard while creating audio systems that transport listeners to concert halls through deep precise bass, stunningly clear mids and highs, and immersive three-dimensional soundstages that redefine luxury listening experiences.
