GRO

Step into a BIGGER and better world
of sound with our floor-standing speaker

Rich Room Filling Sound

You need to hear it for yourself.

Gro brings out the musicality in every piece, offering depth and clarity that lets details come through effortlessly. With its refined 3D sound, Gro fits seamlessly into intimate listening spaces, where every nuance can be appreciated. It performs exceptionally well with genres like jazz and blues, where its dynamic range and power shine through. The result is a speaker that creates a large and precise soundstage, with a sense of timing that makes your foot tap and puts a big smile on your face.

With a larger diaphragm area, Gro allows vocals and deep tones to stand crystal clear, while the upper tones are vibrant and free from any compression. The transients come through distinctly, maintaining clarity across the entire frequency range. Gro simply offers more of what we already know from Frida—just bigger and better.

Top End Components

All units are pre-matched into homogenous pairs before being mounted into loudspeakers.

The crossover is a 12 dB Linkwitz/Riley with incorporated T.I.M. reduction circuits 2750 Hz 12 dB per octave.

The tweeter is a 38 mm ring radiator selected to reproduce overtones freely, detailed, with very high resolution, and no tendency for intrusive resonances.

For the mid and low frequencies, we use two 5-inch woven mineral cones with excellent internal damping and extremely linear frequency response. The optimized center bullet reduces compression due to temperature variations in the voice coil. The lower suspension reduces sound reflection air flow noise and keeps cavity resonance to a minimum.

Ready to Connect

With terminals from WBT, Miflex, and Jantzen 3mm coils, and internal wiring from Van den Hul in a special hybrid configuration of pure copper and silver plating, Frida ensures unparalleled signal processing and minimal signal degradation.

The Highest Quality

In-house production in Denmark at our BEAUTIFUL island, Bornholm.

The cabinets are fabricated using 5-layer solid Tiger Bamboo Extreme (26mm). By combining carbonized and natural bamboo strips, each panel is unique, ensuring that every pair of loudspeakers is one of a kind.

Moreover, Tiger Bamboo Extreme is a premium material with excellent acoustic properties. It enhances sound quality by reducing unwanted vibrations and resonance, while also offering exceptional strength and durability. Comparable to the strongest hardwoods, it ensures long-lasting speaker cabinets.

The front baffles are made from aircraft aluminum produced on 5-axis CNC machines and are designed with a distinct pattern to minimize reflections for optimal sound reproduction.

Aircraft aluminum is a premium material that enhances the structural integrity and longevity of our speakers, providing unmatched reliability.

Here Is A Story...

Today, I had the pleasure of hosting Kim Storgaard from Storgaard & Vestskov, who brought along their "small" floorstanding model, Gro, as well as the stand-mounted Frida. We focused solely on Gro, and after years in Hi-Fi, it takes a lot to truly impress me. But after a few hours with Gro, paired with various playlists from Qobuz, I was genuinely blown away.

Kim and his team have crafted a beautifully balanced, harmonious speaker that doesn’t feel “thin” or “small” compared to my horn-loaded speakers. Throughout the session, there were several goosebump-inducing moments. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for any events where you can experience these speakers—you’ll be prepared to fall in love.

Gro played alongside:

Chord preamplifier CPA 3200
Chord power amplifier SPM 1200C, both updated and tuned by Per Tophøj
Streamer/DAC: Hi-Fi Rose 150B
Cables: Nordost White Lightning
Reference speakers: Horn construction with Traxtrix horn, JBL 2445J driver, 2x Onkyo 15” woofers (W3801), Onkyo mid/high driver (D3520)
