About the Grand Crescendo

The Grand Crescendo is a floorstanding loudspeaker designed by Musical Affairs, featuring a 12-inch EMS/Fertin high-efficiency wideband driver (type LB12) with a permanent magnet electromagnetic motor. It uses a resonant cabinet principle made from thin wood panels reinforced with braces, similar to musical string instruments, to enhance sound dynamics and realism. The speaker has no filtering and offers a frequency response of approximately 35 Hz to 15 kHz within 2 dB. It has a sensitivity of 97 dB/W/m and selectable impedance of 8 or 16 Ohms. The recommended amplifier power is between 6 and 30 Watts. The cabinet dimensions are 440 x 500 x 1110 mm (width x depth x height) and it weighs 22 kg. The design emphasizes lifelike dynamics, detailed sound, and a natural resonance that evolves with use. The Grand Crescendo is handmade and built to deliver a unique musical experience with a fast, dynamic, and detailed soundstage.
