Authentic High End invites you to visit her lead store Authentic Square Vergote at 158 Auguste Reyers in Brussels.
Contrary to the Authentic shop at the Sablon, this location is normally ‘by appointment only’. Now, you’ll have the opportunity to visit both hi-fi oriented floors of the house. In this home environment you will be enjoying your drink surrounded by the art of music lover fredSherman.
These are the ideal circumstances to discover the exquisite pearls from high end manufacturers Linn, Boenicke, Kudos, Voxativ, Graham and Lejonklou that Steve and Mary-Ann selected especially for you with love.
Linn
At Authentic we do Linn. Flat-out. We do Linn excellently and with great conviction.
Linn seems to be cemented in Steve’s DNA. His mentor Michel aka ‘the LP12 whisperer’ did a great job ;)
Today, Mary-Ann and Steve have an intrinsic relation with the Linn family in Glasgow.
Authentic not only proposes the immaculate full Linn systems, but also pairs Linn’ streamers and turntables with a number of select components from Kudos, Boenicke, Graham and Lejonklou to achieve ‘le mariage parfait’ in high end heaven.
Kudos
The Kudos speakers have not merely outstanding sound quality, but ground-breaking musical quality… the kind that inspires toe-tapping, soul-stirring, spine-tingling, heart-rending emotion.
At Authentic, we go for the Titan series and the ‘Super’ Cardea models. These are configured to allow simple by-passing of the internal crossover for active operation with leading Linn Exakt technology. Active operation opens up a wider upgrade path and enables a variety of performance and personalisation enhancing capabilities.
Boenicke
It’s hard not to be intrigued by the tiny Boenicke W5 speakers. We love them!
By looking at them, 90% of audiophile crowd would just immediately say: “a small design speaker but surely no high end”
Yet. After hearing the W5, you’ll agree that these speakers stand out in the best possible and positive sense of the word. Impressive! Very high end!
At Authentic, you’ll be able to experience the supreme SE+ versions of the W5, W8 and W11.
Lejonklou
While looking for the best phono stage for our Linn LP12’s, we discovered the Lejonklou electronics.
A lot of companies claim they pay attention to detail, but Fredrik Lejonklou means it in an extreme way. The secret behind making fantastic Lejonklou machines is to optimise as many details as possible.
Fedrik is a Linn devotee. He also follows the Source First statement and uses the Tune Dem method to optimize his components.
The Slipsik and Entity phono stages boost the LP12’s expressive musical reproduction. The Boazu complements any Linn DSM to a splendid system.
Quality is the sum of many perfected details. Here a certain amount of obsession helps.
Graham Audio
The Graham’s BBC-licensed models LS3/5 and LS5/9 are our favorites.
These hand-build high quality loudspeakers are made with the very best materials to produce neutral yet highly revealing loudspeakers.
They work exceptionally well with the electronics from Linn and Lejonklou.
Voxativ
Voxativ is our eccentric brand. You’ll love it or you’ll hate it. We love it!
A completely different alternative to everything mentioned above but bring your tissues to dry your tears…
These piano black speakers use their extraordinary, handmade wide bander to touch you straight in the heart.
Hearing these beauties is always stunning and very emotional.
