Contour 4
Hugo Nielssen on design and construction:'A Danish loudspeaker is like a Gothic cathedral, only smaller and without all the frills'.
"I don't like the way things are built today. Cars are made of nothing but plastic, houses are no longer designed to be lived in, and the sound of an assembly line speaker is enough to make me physically ill. When it comes to excellence in design, we go beyond function, which is why we still use real wood, real tools, and real people...and we still build our speakers by hand. Take the Contour 4 - our latest creation. It takes my crew 24 hours to assemble a single speaker, and when they're finished, I sit down and listen to it. Some people might find this a bit weird, but this is the way things used to be, when the crafts were still one with the arts. We've just never bothered to separate the two."
It is virtually impossible for the top model of our rightly famous Contour series to be expressed in dispassionate figures. The unbelievable precision; the perfectly natural resolution; the absolute authenticity: the overall experience of nothing but pure music.
