In 1994, when we made the decision to found a loudspeaker factory, we knew right
from the start: The first sound converter will be named DUKE and is going to be one of
the best, maybe even the best of all...
Every time we felt like we were ready, though, our
goals moved just a bit further away again, and so the search for the "ultimate"
continued. In the end, we adjourned the project's release "sine die". Within the outer
walls, though, we never stopped developing the idea.
We actually planned to use DUKE as an acoustic "electron-scan" microscope for our
own music productions.
DUKE does it all: Soundstage, nearly unlimited maximum level, extremely low
distortions, neutrality, perfect timing...
And the funny thing is: You don't hear these virtues - you just listen to music!
