The Beginning of My Loudspeaker Journey

As a child I loved solving puzzles and being active with wood. Actually quite obvious as the son of a craft carpenter. Listening to music became a habit as a child and from that perspective it is only a small step to building your own speaker cabinets. Enthusiasm and passion were enough to more than bridge the gap in knowledge. I put together a lot through trial and error. Naturally, I often found the sound quality lacking, but visits to HiFi stores exposed me to the marvels of high-end audio and the extraordinarily special sound production of top amplifiers and magnificent speakers. I aspired to someday own such superior equipment.

Fast forward to 1989: I stumbled upon a DIY loudspeaker magazine and was instantly enthralled. I resolved to construct my own loudspeakers, aiming for a design that was both impeccable and emotionally resonant. After all, music stirs our emotions. This was my starting point for my first design: Rovaha Vifa Format.

Fast Forward to 2020: For several years I played with the idea of making a new set of speakers. Shape, size and choice of drivers were still areas to explore.Walking in Berlin I saw a pair of skyscrapers that looked more or less like an airplane wing. Massive and still elegant. The creative tipping point was born for my Rovaha SEAS Jenzen Next.
