Grand Cru Audio “Essentiel” Reference Monitor

The Grand Cru Audio “Essentiel” Reference Monitor delivers true accuracy thru superior drivers and a far more advanced crossover that resolves phase & timing simultaneously thru custom software. Custom precise crossover component values (not off the shelf values) further ensure a perfect presentation.

Voices sound like voices, cellos sound like cellos…not thin, skeleton presentations ala $25k “magical” monitors or syrupy colored designs!

Accurate. Musical. Emotional. Amazing!

$8200/pr

Design Overview

Low distortion of time and phase obtained by a time constant group delay for frequencies common to each speaker

Perfect superposition of phases in the band 1500 Hz to 6 kHz (focus of the soundstage, dynamics and atmosphere) & total absence hardness.

Result?

Behavior of the loudspeaker radiating more fluidity and release of the soundstage

•Non-resonant cabinet – reinforced in all 3-axis
•Extraordinary crossover to insure perfect phase & time coherence
•Crossover potted in resin and decoupled from cabinet
•Stable impedance load
•Stable electrical phase (the amplifier sees an easy load to drive)
•Phase power close to 0 ° (300 Hz to 10 kHz)

Specifications
