Founded by engineer Lars Engström and industrial designer Timo Engström in 2008, Engström is a small Swedish family company. We believe that music should be enjoyed through pure & natural sound. We think of our amplifiers as musical instruments, rather than tech gadgets. Timo Engström is an industrial designer responsible for the Scandinavian exterior of Engström's amplifier family, and day-to-day company operations. Inspired by Scandinavian radio furniture of the 60's and 70's, Timo brings an elegantly functional aesthetic that makes the amplifiers unique in the industry. please like and subscribe to our channel.

Sit down with Mike Picanza, Sales and Marketing Manager at Peak Consult, as he discusses the new Peak Consult, its changes in design and business philosophy, and what makes their speakers so different from most on the market. The Peak Consult team is a small group of highly experienced individuals who share a music passion with technical loudspeaker expertise, focusing on high-fidelity sound and meticulous craftsmanship to deliver quality, handcrafted products for fellow music lovers to enjoy. Situated in central Denmark, the Peak factory resembles a traditional furniture workshop where our skilled craftsmen use various manually operated tools to cut, shape, and join wooden panels to assemble loudspeaker cabinets. This is a low-volume, hand-built process from start to finish, relying on the judgement and skill of the highly experienced staff. Some computer-controlled methods are used for specific elements, but the overall construction relies on skilled manual techniques, to get the structural performance and surface finish we like to offer. State of the art measurement equipment is used to produce the finest drive units and partnered with meticulously optimised crossover configurations, the ultimate expression of these collective talents can be seen, heard and felt in the Dragon Legacy.
