“8 months of back and forth between Paris and London.
7 months to spot auction sales of rare Klipsch pieces.
6 months to find a skilled cabinet maker accepting strict margin of error specs (<0,5mm) and more than 120 hours over 4 weeks to put together a pair of speakers: the “NO BULLSHIT” speakers!
The first time I heard these speakers was during the famous Lucky Cloud Loft party of Colleen Cosmo Murphy in London on December 10th, 2017, which is no less than the copycat of David Mancuso’s Loft party in New York. The first seconds of listening were epiphanic during which I felt in a spatiotemporal gateway with whirl winding lights coming from the enormous disco ball. The songs you thought you knew inside out were totally transformed through the clarity and beauty of the sound reproduction.
Back in Paris, my only wish was to go back to London to continue the London audiophile scene exploration I started. This is where I discovered one of the most incredible and eclectic parties: Beauty & The Beat. My perception of music had completely mutated to the next level. I was wandering into the holographic sound. For more than 12 years, the founding masters - Belle Bete, Jeremy Gilbert & Cedric Lassonde - were running this incredible London institution, spending their entire life digging the most subtle and vibrating vinyl records existing on earth.
The point of nonreturn was reached and the fate of my project was sealed: I needed this little piece of paradise at home.
The path to achieving it has been hard: the Klipschorn plans were not adapted to the European boards, the second-hand parts were not made by Klipsch anymore, the cabinetmaker didn’t want to step into such a complex project...That is to say, I was starting from scratch but it has never obstructed my will to reach my goal.
Today, they are standing proudly in front of me as a communication tool with another world.
The first tests have been impressive despite some missing settings (imperfect wall corners, no audiophile preamp, standard cabling, room acoustics, white zone…).
It is time for me to share this pleasure with others by educating them on what could a higher quality of music reproduction bring them. The task is going to be challenging.”
