Sigberg Audio Saranna Active Floor-Standing Loudspeakers With Cardioid Bass!

I bet you are glad you are not dependent on China. This is going to be bad for outfits like Perlisten. This trade war has rendered their business model unsustainable. At the outset of that company I warned that their business model with manufacture in China was unwise in the extreme, and so it will prove to be.

Norway has no toll barriers to China .....

Norway has no toll barriers to China .....

I know that. However in the US market European manufacturers have a huge advantage. So Sigberg Audio should break into the US market ASAP.

My apologies, apparently it's at 5PM EDT / 11PM CET tonight. Good thing I double checked, so I actually show up in time. Check it out for a discussion about the Saranna between me, James and Gene!

As a proud Norwegian I gotta join in here ..... so should you guys

For example, one thing that bugs me... I don´t know of one single regular speaker that can reproduce a Trumpet,
I don´t like horns, so I disregard them .....

That Trumpet has an insane dynamics. that is so compressed even with extremely hi-end loudspeakers....

Thorbjørn: Can Saranna "Do the Trumpet"?

Sure can!

Sigberg Audio should break into the US market ASAP.

We might just have an announcement about that very soon (perhaps even on the live stream).

This is a really important video. It highlights the importance of moving away from passive speakers. These can be driven from a streamer if you want with no AVR or AVP.

The similarities to my approach of almost 20 years ago are astonishing.

My system is very similar in many ways, and both obviate the need for so called room Eq like Audyssey or Dirac, which in my view are a dead end and quality spoilers.

With these speakers the ability to set up the speakers to the room is similar to mine, and far better then those auto Eq programs could ever be.

This video highlights the way to much improved performance for audio in the home.

Yes, the speakers are costly, but they also reduce a lot of other costs. Just for one the licensing of those auto Eq programs adds significant cost to no purpose. In my view they are worse than useless.
