The live concert atmosphere is an experience that only very few hifi systems can truly reproduce. Outstanding exception is the equipment from the Swiss company Ensemble.
Handbuilt to the highest possible standards, in a design of timeless elegance,
Ensemble creates a musical universe that is the key to a new way of wellness.
Accessible in your home at any time it becomes a source of new-found energy and inspiration.
Excel Stereo Ensemble Showroom | | The Ensemble Concept | Why does Ensemble sound so real, so close to 'live', so naturally musical – so different from most hifi? Why can Ensemble perform this magic practically independent of room size and conditions? | Link to Page | | The Ensemble History | Profile of Ensemble AG, Switzerland | Link to Page |
