Peak Consult Emperor

In the jungle of consumer and so-called “High-End” loudspeakers, there are some brands actually reaching for higher goals. Peak Consult is one of them, but how is that done?

Countless hours of measurement and critical listening by many audiophile ears have gone into making the finest three-way loudspeaker available. An impedance curve and electrical phase character like an electrostatic speaker, the final blend of art and technology have made The Emperor an uncompromising work of art. The State of Art Loudspeaker has seen the light of dawn.

The Name
The Emperor boasts an extremely linear frequency response, on-axis as well as of-axis. This makes it a very accurate loudspeaker in a “real World” environment. The name says it all; the speaker performs and looks second to none. “Nothing given and nothing taken just pure music” and still like an Emperor.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Enclosure
The multifaceted enclosure is handcrafted in our own facilities by Danish artisans in a 1.5”- 3.0” HDF specially glued sandwich material covered by 1” solid wood. At several points a resonance suppresser has been used in the construction. The side panels have been made out of one single piece of selected Rosewood. Special resonance suppressers have also been milled into the each side panels. Each wood panel has been hand-chosen by Danish artisans.

The design optimises the off-axis response and avoids diffraction. There are no parallel front, back, top or bottom panels in order to eliminate acoustical standing waves. The slant of the front panel aligns the phase and timing between tweeter, midrange and woofer.

Transducers
The Danish Scan-Speak tweeter is a non-Ferro fluid 1” ring radiator, SD-2 neodymium motor with a non-resonant aluminium chamber. It features a multiple camber with low compression and a machined aluminium faceplate with a phase plug. The tweeter performs effortlessly to sonic extremes.

The Danish 6” Audiotechnology midrange is hand-built specifically for optimal behaviour in The Emperor’s enclosure. The driver features a cone that has been uniquely shaped for this moving system and a vented magnet system that includes Symmetric Drive, optimising the linear directivity. It performs with matchless sound staging ability.

The Danish 11” Audiotechnology woofer is hand-built and specifically designed for The Emperor. Using new and special technology in the moving system to make it a very low-loss driver. The huge magnet and ventilation system makes the driver reproduce very tight and extremely low frequencies - second to none.

Network
The speaker includes an acoustical second order crossover in the tweeter/midrange section and also a second order in the midrange/bass section. Every component has been chosen for its sonic and musical behaviour, with no consideration for cost. The crossover is hardwired with silver soldering and sealed in the bottom of the speaker to avoid microphony and to shield it from electrical and magnetic radiation from rest of the system. Peak Consult have chosen to include the best cable available to High End Audio: The purest solid core silver cable from Stereovox.

The Carbon MKIII So building on German Physiks first flagship and still one of the most musically accurate speakers available, you get the proverbial cherry on top.

Driven to improve upon an already fantastic product we have reached the heady heights of the MK III and what a sonic blast it is. German Physiks have replaced the old 2 push pull bass design with open cabinet. The new design has 1 larger bass driver in a sealed cabinet. The crossover is also improved.

Kharma Grand Ceramique 1.0 "Kharma Grande Ceramique loudspeakers are the winners in my listening room. The reviewing is upcoming, but the Kharma Grande Ceramiques are absolutely the finest speakers that have ever resided in this editor’s sanctum audiophilii." - Positive Feedback Issue 10

German Physiks The Loreley MKIII Completely effortless, that’s the best way I can describe the sound of the new Loreley, Startling dynamics cymbals crash and shimmer with such lifelike finesse, whilst betraying no character of its own. The Loreley is truly neutral and just lets the music pour forth uninhibited. Close your eyes and you can hear every nuance of the recorded venue, pages being turned in the orchestra pit, or a guitarist tapping his feet while playing. Not so much a soundstage as the actual stage being reproduced.

Acapella Triolon Excalibur"Paul Messenger was on hand for a demonstration of Acapella's top-of-the-line Triolon Excalibur loudspeakers. After the impressive demonstration, Paul exclaimed, "That actually sounds like a real piano!" And that, of course, is what it's all about."
