Floorstanding speaker SV Audio GRO
Description
SV-Audio GRO – a compact two-way stand-mount-sized floorstander with a time- and phase-aligned crossover
GRO is a compact two-way floorstanding loudspeaker built on the SV-Audio design philosophy, which emphasises musicality, time and phase alignment, and dynamics. Despite the small cabinet dimensions, it can create a soundstage of surprising scale, bass depth, and the ability to handle energetic musical passages. It is intended for small to medium-sized listening spaces, with a recommended room size of up to 60 m².
The driver complement consists of a 29 mm ring radiator tweeter with a silk dome and a neodymium motor system, complemented by a pair of 5" mid-bass drivers. Their cones are made of woven, self-reinforced polypropylene, chosen for its internal damping and shape stability. The driver combination is mutually matched so that the transition between the bands sounds coherent and tonally balanced.
The crossover was developed through a combination of measurement and listening-based voicing, with an emphasis on driver integration and time-phase behaviour. Components with tight tolerances are used: air-core coils with low DC resistance, aluminium foil capacitors, and resistors with exceptionally low inductance. Internal wiring is handled by silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductors, which help preserve signal integrity.
This technical approach shows itself in the legibility of fine detail even at lower volumes, in stable instrument localisation, and in a spacious, open presentation. A frequency range of 32 Hz – 20 kHz ±3 dB, sensitivity of 88 dB and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms place it among speakers with a recommended amplifier power of 25–250 W. For the bass band to perform correctly, a distance of at least 60 cm from the rear wall is recommended. The cabinet, measuring 30 × 100 × 42 cm and weighing 23 kg, is available in standard satin and high-gloss finishes, and on request also in two- and three-layer automotive shades.

SV Audio
The SV-Audio brand (originally Storgaard & Vestskov), officially founded in 2023 on the Danish island of Bornholm, is one of the most prominent new names in the world of high-end loudspeakers. Its founder, Casper Vestskov Poulsen, spent years searching for a speaker system he would genuinely want to live with – and when he realised that no such system existed, he decided to create it himself. He brought to the project more than 25 years’ experience in precision CNC machining of steel and aluminium, which means that all the speakers are manufactured in-house in Denmark, with each unit individually measured, inspected and approved during production. The acoustic foundation for the first range was laid by sound engineer Jens Posselt, and since 2026 technical development has been led by CTO Benno Baun Meldgaard – a designer with over thirty years’ experience who has contributed to series such as the Gryphon EOS and Raidho TD.
The brand’s philosophy, summed up in the slogan ‘Sound That Matters’, prioritises musicality above all else. Technical solutions are tailored to this, with an emphasis on temporal and phase coherence, low distortion, linear power response, wide dispersion and amplifier-friendly behaviour. A distinctive feature is the CNC-machined front baffle made from T6 aerospace-grade aluminium, featuring a radial pattern inspired by the sun over Bornholm, the geometry of which also suppresses unwanted reflections around the drivers. The range comprises the compact two-way bookshelf model Frida, awarded the title ‘Statement in High Fidelity 2025’, the two-way floorstanding model Gro, the ‘Astrid’ with a linear arrangement of bass drivers, and the three-way flagship ‘Fenja’ for large listening spaces. SV-Audio speakers excel with their open, dynamic and naturally fluid sound reproduction and are the ideal choice for anyone seeking authentic Danish craftsmanship, timeless design and music that is not just listened to, but experienced.
