丹麦虽小，却是Hi End音响的重镇，从单体、喇叭、扩大机、线材等等，知名Hi End品牌多不胜数。不久前由巨礼文化新引进的System Audio（简称SA），在2008年高雄与圆山音响展初试啼声，引起许多迴响。不过新品牌大家比较陌生，于是U-Audio编辑部先行编译整理SA原厂资料。
创立早在1984年
System Audio创立于1984年，当时的市场背景是大厂当道，但SA虽是初创业的蚊型小厂，却引起音响专业媒体的高度关注，认为SA「树立了喇叭设计的新标准！」但SA创业的第一款喇叭却不是大型喇叭，而是一款瘦高的落地喇叭，尺寸虽不大，却能发出庞大的音乐规模，其独特的设计开创了喇叭设计的新方向。
自认为「拥有灵魂」的公司
System Audio于1984年推出的第一对落地喇叭。
SA的创立者Ole Witthoft从1984年开始一直掌握着设计大权，他自己也玩音乐，所以他对音乐重播该是如何，自有一套标准。Ole说：「没有任何喇叭可以重播与现场相提并论的音乐，大部分的喇叭听起来都很乏味，如果你不能听到音乐的细节，或是感受到藏在音乐裡的情感，那都要归咎于喇叭的效果太差。我一直觉得很奇怪，当大家都在比较喇叭的技术规格时，却没有人质疑其实音乐听起来好不好，才是选择喇叭的关键！」
看不惯业界的奇怪逻辑，Ole于是投入喇叭设计。经过几年的努力，1984年SA终于登场。到目前为止，Ole Witthoft依然是SA研发部门（R&D）的主管，为了喇叭研发，SA已经投入数百万元的经费，并组成坚实的研发团队，让SA喇叭可以不断跟着科技研发而进步。
做出每个人都能感受的独特性
SA的创立者Ole Witthoft。
从原厂网站的代理商资料显示，目前SA喇叭已在全球34个国家销售，主要的消费客群都是爱乐者或电影爱好者，以及专业录音室、电视台和各年龄的音乐演奏家。Ole Witthoft解释道：「我们不仅为专家製作喇叭，每一个人都懂得什麽是好声音，而我们（SA）的目标就是让每一个人都可以听得出来（SA）在声音表现的巨大差异。」
有「态度」的公司
SA并不跟着市场的需求而设计产品，因为整个公司成立时，Ole Witthoft认为喇叭市场并不健全。SA诞生是为了实践理念，所以SA自己设定产品目标，他们并不打算用「技术」来溷淆消费者的视听。对于SA而言，他们相信品质来自于好声音，而且他们也要让SA的喇叭就像是客厅裡的家具一样漂亮又自然。
技术融合的产业
SA发现目前很多音响产业的专业人士，跑到亚洲製作音响，他们拿塑胶材料製作的喇叭花不了多少成本，而整套音响系统加起来的价格大概和一双比较好的鞋差不多。有人还会说其实用电脑听音响就「够好」了，有人也会说喇叭不过是外表好看，听起来都一样。还有人建议你去读音响杂志的评论，评论员讲的话几乎都是圣经。评论员还会告诉你，声音的组成是非常複杂的，您必须要好好研究音响杂志才能瞭解箇中奥妙。还有人说喇叭很贵，要花你一整年的薪水，还得重新改装聆听空间，才会有好声。几乎所有的人都会告诉你，要懂得裡面深奥的技术，你才能真正理解喇叭声音的奥妙。
SA对以上看法完全不同意。SA强调自己是一家「完全不一样的公司」，公司背景并不是源自音响产业，SA不想造成消费者的溷淆，只是想把产品做得更容易理解。
声音是普世共通语言
SA认为所有的人都有能力分辨声音的好坏。这是人类与生俱来的本质。小孩子在不会读书写字之前，就已经能够享受音乐的乐趣了。在音乐会现场，只需要听听交响乐团演奏几秒钟，就知道今天乐团认不认真，或是演奏得心不在焉。音乐存在于生活周遭，强化各种感觉并成为记忆的一部份。每个人都可以瞭解音乐，并从音乐中感受到丰富的内涵与情感，那不是文字所可以形容的。如果有人曾经试着在「无声」的状态下看电影，他一定会知道声音对电影的重要性，最少佔一半以上。
设计也是普世共通语言
如果认为设计只是「包装」产品的方法，那肯定是错误的观念。设计本身并不是那麽简单。SA把设计看做在真实世界中具备产品功能的一环。当我们瞭解空间声响是影响优秀音乐重播的最大因素，SA的设计便是试图设计出对空间声响最不敏感的喇叭。
SA认为喇叭主要的内涵是电声学的设计，但依然是设计。如果SA对电声设计不感兴趣，他说他们会建议消费者每次买新喇叭的时候，一併改变空间的设计，显然SA希望做出「任何空间都能适应的喇叭」。
SA在设计喇叭时，也会注意到喇叭与扩大机的搭配，尽量让喇叭成为所谓「容易驱动」的类型。SA并不生产扩大机，所以他们大可以说声音不好是扩大机的责任，但SA并不这麽做，因为他们不希望消费者购买新喇叭的时候，一併也要更换新的Hi-Fi系统。SA认为设计的本质是「思考如何将产品的功能发挥到极致」，而SA不仅在技术规格上考虑这件事，同时也注意到产品的外观与色泽。
所以SA在设计产品的理念很清楚而明白，就像喇叭能搭配空间声响一样，不需要讨论，因为喇叭必需要能适应任何空间。或者喇叭是不是能和扩大机搭配得好，也不需要讨论，因为喇叭一定要能和现有的任何扩大机搭配。
所以SA从事「设计」的功课如下：製作出够漂亮的喇叭，可以在家裡面当作家具摆设一般，如果设计反而让产品更难使用，那就是不好的设计。设计就像是语言一般，如果设计者心裡面没有意见要表达，那就等于是没有人说的语言。
SA不相信商业分析
在现代商业市场上，许多人对于市场调查、统计、票选或其他方式，来瞭解消费者并指导产品的方向。很多公司都认为统计与市场调查是瞭解并满足消费者的重要方法。哪天消费者喜欢某些产品，公司就会设计那些产品，每当消费者的想法改变，产品的设计也会改变。
SA并不是这样的公司，因为SA并不靠消费者统计来经营公司。SA认为经营事业是自己的责任，光是满足消费者还不够，SA希望能让消费者对产品感到惊讶，而我们也希望製作连我们自己都想拥有的产品。
大部分摆在店面的产品，功能和外观都很像，为他们都是市场调查衍生的产物，所以买任何一款大概都没什麽差别。消费者填写产品意见，通常仅反映出他早已经知道的事情，但他们并不瞭解新技术的发展。音响製造商自己不瞭解产品发展的方向，于是转而询问消费者的喜好，但消费者想要的大概都差不多，希望产品可以更便宜一点，或是换上不一样的色彩，然后製造商就迎合消费者的需求，而不投入新技术研发。SA一点也不认同这样的方向，而是勇于创新，用技术强化产品内涵。

Review 1 of 9
Price Paid: $0.00
Summary:
I started looking for a replacement for my Infinity Rennesaince 80. I came across these, and took the chance. The second i heard their overwhelming clarity, and sleek bass-reproduction, I was sold.
Strengths:
Very nice looking speaker, with a very good upper range-reproduction, and neet bass. Even though the woofers are only 5" they deliver magnificant sound.
Weaknesses:
They lack the ability to go below 40hz, therefor, making a subwoofer a must, if you are into action movies, and using the speakers for a home theatre system.

Summary:
I have found these delightful speakers to be a terrific addition to my system - I have driven them with fairly low powered (40-50watt) solid state as well as tube gear and they shine with both. The sound is open, relaxed, full of body and tone, while retaining detail and accuracy. They have a sound that allows me to listen for hours without fatigue.
By spiking the speaker base andaddingballast to the sand chamber, the low end has improved greatly. Doing this made the bass very taut and direct.
They most definitely reveal shortcomings in the front-end equipment, so choose sources wisely.
I highly recommend at the minimum the use of a biwire pair of Nordost Flatline gold (or higher) for your run - it seems to compliment the speakers' natural and neutral "attitude". This is a bargain for the sound.
Overall I believe that these speakers have serious potential to become a 'cult classic'. They have the qualities of far more expensive speakers at a very reasonable price - the sound is amazing and the build quality is bar none.
Strengths:
musicality, tone, wide soundstage, biwire capable, beautiful furniture grade finish
Weaknesses:
very low bass requires augmenting with a sub

Summary:
When I started to look for a replacement for my Cerwin Vega VS10 speakers, it was because I wanted more precise bass reproduction and more details in the mid and hig range. Besides the sound demands I was loking for a nicely designed product. I listened to speakers from Dali, Jamo, F3, Snell and System Audio. All brands had a nice wodden veneer cabinet, and were quite tall speakers. The choice was System Audio 1070 in rosewood veneer. These are wery good looking, and gives an excelent sound reproduction for the price. Snell, F3 and Dali were the biggest competitors but their price were higher without giving a better perfomance.
System Audio uses two small 5" Bass/Midrange speaker and a 1" Soft dome Highrange speaker in a D'Appolito configuration. The cabinet is seperated in 4 chambers, where the lower one is for sand damping, the other chambers is one for the crossover network and one for each of the Bass/Midrange speakers.
The sound is crystal clear, with a lot of details in the whole frequense spectre. The Bass reproduction is the best I have ever heard, very fast. These Bass speaker can start and stop much quiker than other speakers due to the low weight of the membranes. The stereo perspective is high class, it is very easy to hear where the singer is placed on the stage. They are very musical, you wanna hear the whole record collection over and over again. However they demand good audiocomponents, and sound best if they are connected with heavy speaker cables in bi-wiring or maybe even better bi-amping.
Data:
Frequense reponse: 42-25.000Hz+-1,5Db
Impedanse : 4 Ohms.
Sensetivity : 92 Db (1 Watts, 1 mtr.)
Power rating : 170 Watts Sinus.
I recomend these speakers for all persons, who dislikes the "booming" bass reproduction from most speakers. People who thinks big speakers are ogly should have a look at these speakers, the might just like what they see (and hear!). The speakers have no preferences in musical styles, I play Jazz, Classic, Rock and Pop on my system. They are also great as front speakers in a souround system, where the clarity in the mid range gives a better expirience.
Strengths:
Clear sound, with great dynamics. Tight and precise bass reproduction. Great look. Chamber for sand damping.
Weaknesses:
The bass below 40 Hz lacks authority.

Summary:
The 1070 is a sleek 2-way design, with i beautiful design. It's main drivers are two 5-inch units, with an impressive speed. The 1070 are not capable of reproducing the very deepest bass, but the rest is performed in an incredible detailed way. The midrange and treble is perfectly integrated. The result is a very neutral sound, and a big precise soundstage. The 1070 like to play a little forward, which results in a very entertaining performance.
1070 has a bottom-chamber made for sand-damping. After filling it the sound becomes even faster, and the bass more detailed.
Now im working on matching them with a better amp than my old Luxman-combo.
Strengths:
Speed, "clear" sound. Very detailed bass.
Weaknesses:
Lacks the deepest bass (under 40 Hz). Limited SPL.

Review 5 of 9
Summary:
I had been admiring System Audio speakers at both the 1996 and 1998 Stereophile shows. But found them difficult to find. Now they have opened up more dealers. The 1070s are a great choice. The $2,499 price may seem a little steep at first. That is until you hear them and realize that these Denmark beauties are in the same class as the even pricy Sonus Fabers and Pro Acs. They are accurate on all types of music. Plus the speed and dynamics will knock you out! Their 40-25,000 Hz frequency response rating is given at tight 1.5 db points, not the much wider and easier to obtain 3db used by most all other manufacturers. They certainly play low enough for 99% of the music. An easy five stars.
