At Kronos AV, our 37-year history has been built on a single, uncompromising principle: finding the equipment that brings you closer to the emotional truth of your music. As a 4x Global Award Winning Retailer, we don't take on new brands lightly. A product has to do more than just measure well on paper; it has to fundamentally change the way we experience our favourite recordings.
That is why we are incredibly proud to announce that the world-renowned Dutch manufacturer, Grimm Audio, is now officially available at Kronos AV.
Founded in 2004 by audio visionary Eelco Grimm, Grimm Audio has spent the last two decades bridging the gap between rigorous scientific engineering and intuitive, soul-stirring musicality. From top-tier recording studios to the finest high-end home systems, their philosophy remains the same: uncompromised fidelity that makes every note feel alive.
Why We Rate Grimm Audio So Highly
The audiophile world is often crowded with marketing claims and so-called innovations, but Grimm Audio stands apart by utilising smart integration and groundbreaking digital clocking technology. They don't just build components; they build complete, meticulously engineered solutions.
Take the Grimm Audio MU2, for example. It is a true "hub" for a high-end system, combining a world-class Roon Core streamer, a reference-quality analog preamplifier, and their proprietary discrete Major DAC.
Here is exactly why Grimm Audio has earned its place in our showrooms:
- Ultra-Low Jitter Clocks: Grimm’s mastery of timing and clocking technology (seen in their CC1 master clocks and built into their streamers) ensures an incredibly pristine, serene stereo image that invites prolonged listening sessions without fatigue.
- The Major DAC: Rather than using off-the-shelf chips, Grimm developed their own FPGA-based discrete DAC. It utilizes high-resolution Pure Nyquist upsampling filters combined with a flawless 1.5-bit noise shaper, resulting in the retrieval of micro-details you simply won't hear on lesser digital sources.
- Seamless Integration: Products like the LS1c active loudspeakers and the MU2 streamer prove that when the DAC, amplification, and streaming architecture are designed to work together in perfect harmony, the resulting sound quality is revolutionary.
A Word from Our Managing Director
You don't just have to take our word for the technical specifications. The real magic happens when you sit down and listen. David Campbell, Managing Director here at Kronos AV, sums up exactly why we brought Grimm Audio on board:
"At Kronos AV, we've spent 37 years listening to some of the finest audio equipment in the world. When we first auditioned the Grimm Audio MU2, we were immediately struck by its ability to resolve the finest micro-details without ever losing the organic truth of the music. It isn't just about impressive specifications or Dutch precision engineering; it's about the emotional connection to the performance. Bringing Grimm Audio into our portfolio was a very easy decision."
