History of Peak Consult
Creating the Best High-End Loudspeakers
Peak Consult Denmark has created some of the finest high-end loudspeakers for passionate music lovers and hi-fi perfectionists worldwide. The company was founded by Per Kristoffersen in 1996, a talented carpenter, passionate music lover and avid audiophile. Per decided to create his own cabinets for speakers he bought, that he felt could be done much better. From focusing on better engineered cabinets, to then developing complete loudspeakers for friends who
recognized his talents, he dedicated more time, energy and focus into developing the ultimate high-end speaker, using carefully selected drivers and HQ crossover components.
Understanding the importance of what a great cabinet design can bring to a product and having a dedicated workshop using the best engineering techniques to create them is one of Peak Consult’s true assets. This is where every single set of loudspeakers is hand built to exacting standards with the same care and passion that originally started as a quest by a music enthusiast to make the best speakers for himself.
Throughout the years, hard work has been put into discovering new materials and experimenting with sophisticated construction techniques, many of which come from outside the normal audio world. This very driven design direction is focused on creating the perfect cabinet with exceptional build quality, using only the finest materials, to allow the high-performance proprietary drive units to perform at their very best. Once you start with the perfect cabinet and drive units, the crossover network becomes easier to design as you are not using electrical solutions to fix issues in the mechanical domain. This allows Peak Consult to develop crossover networks to sound incredible. To combine multiple drive units and make them behave like one point source, takes thousands of hours of experience and knowledge as well as using the finest components available, whatever the cost.
A New Era
In 2021 a new era commenced for Peak Consult. To fully maximise the brand’s opportunity on a worldwide scale, the company was bought by two investors. Buying into the key values and virtues the company still holds true today, tradition, constant evolution and quality – three new products were launched straight away.
Lennart Asbjørn, CEO, managing the production and administration in Middelfart, Denmark. Lennart is a passionate audiophile himself and ensures the day to day running of the business can keep up with the growing global demand. With a successful career background in haute cuisine, Lennart totally understands the values of meticulous preparation, perfect presentation and high-quality ingredients – all of which relate directly to manufacturing ultra-high-quality
loudspeakers. Wilfried Ehrenholz is supervising product development, strategy and supporting Peak Consult in marketing and distribution. Wilfried was the co-founder of Dynaudio and for many years the sole owner. Wilfried’s experience and know-how in the audio business and speaker development is second to none. Like Lennart, he is also a passionate music lover and has a depth of knowledge that far exceeds many decades of speaker development.
With the combined talents of Lennart and Wilfried building on the core DNA of PEAK – tradition, evolution and quality, the brand is set to keep flourishing and earning respect. Peak Consult products are receiving glowing recommendations from the international press. With many innovative ideas and an exciting vision for the future, this amazing brand has yet to reach its peak. In truth, the story has only just begun for this incredible Danish brand…
