The Grimm Audio LS1a is the more affordable brother of the LS1 and LS1be. This was achieved by using a different midrange driver and tweeter. Savings were also made by tuning the LS1a slightly less extreme. Nevertheless, Grimm Audio has managed to retain most of the qualities with the LS1a.

Grimm Audio's goal is to design audio products that allow you to enjoy music in its full beauty. From Grimm Audio's work in the professional field, such as developing products for sound studios and audio engineers, much has been learned about reproducing music as faithfully as possible. The LS1a embodies Grimm Audio's goal of what a perfect sound system should be.

Perfect music reproduction is about placing all bits in the correct position: not losing anything, and not adding anything either. The Grimm Audio LS1a offers this accuracy, reproducing a real music recording accurately, with all its beauty intact. By integrating top-quality digital signal processing, converters, and amplifiers into one of the speaker legs, they were able to apply technical strategies that no one had used before. The result is that the LS1a is not just a speaker, but a complete audio system. Connect your analog or digital audio source of your choice and enjoy music at the highest possible level.

Operation

The LS1a remote control offers stylish volume control and the ability to switch between sources such as the optional LS1i USB Audio Interface, a CD player, a music streamer, or a phono preamp. By adding the LS1s subwoofer, the Grimm Audio LS1a is transformed into a perfectly aligned three-way system that delivers better performance below 70 Hz.

Music

The Grimm Audio LS1a has extreme linearity in its frequency and phase response and almost perfect acoustic behavior. The result is that the tonality of instruments and the spatial information is exact but also musical. Everything just feels right. All technology does not get in the way of what is really important, namely the music.
