how it's made
Craftsmanship
Four years. Twelve prototypes. Three redesigns. One speaker built to last.
where it began
It started as a personal project.
Four years ago, I wanted a beautiful stereo for our living room. The ones I liked were either absurdly expensive or didn't sound right. So I started building one myself.
Twelve prototypes later, my wife stopped calling it the blender. We named it the Halo. And I realised this might be more than a project.
the work
01
The cabinet
Fifteen rings of premium MDF, turned on a lathe, glued, sanded, hand-finished in matte. The cylindrical form removes the standing waves that plague rectangular speakers. Six colours, chosen to belong in real interiors.
02
The drivers
Full-range drivers, because voices and acoustic instruments live in the middle of the frequency range. Most speakers split that signal with a crossover. The Halo doesn't. Vocals stay coherent. Guitars keep their body.
03
The tuning
Months of listening, measuring, adjusting. Not in a showroom, but in real rooms with real music. Tuned for the second listening session, and the third. For long evenings, not first impressions.
the honest answer
Why €1,295
Lifestyle speakers in this price range often spend more on marketing than on what makes the music. We took the opposite approach. World-class drivers. Dense MDF. Months of tuning. A finish you can live with for a decade. The price is what it costs to make this honestly.
Every unit is signed, ships in 2–5 days when in stock, and comes with a 30-day home trial.
today
Built by hand. In small batches.
Right now, every Halo is built by me, in a small workshop in Vught. Around 75–100 speakers in the current batch. I source the components, I cut and sand the MDF, I tune every unit, I sign every speaker.
It's slow work. That's the point.
next
A bigger workshop. The same craft.
Soon, we're moving to a larger workshop and bringing on a small team. The goal is to make more speakers — not faster, but with more hands doing the same careful work.
What won't change: every speaker still built by hand, still signed by its maker, still tuned by ear in a real room. New products, new editions, more colours — but the same standards that made the Halo what it is.
We'd rather grow slowly and stay honest than scale quickly and lose what makes this worth making.
