about lansche audio
Lansche Audio is a German loudspeaker maker founded in 1990 in Konstanz by engineer Rüdiger Lansche. The brand is built around the Corona plasma tweeter — a high-frequency driver that produces sound from a small cloud of ionized gas rather than a moving membrane, giving it dramatically lower moving mass and radiating area than a conventional dome. Lansche acquired and continued development of the plasma-tweeter patent and has used it as the defining element of the range ever since. The loudspeaker line carries the plasma tweeter across models including the No.3.1 and the flagship No.4.1, the latter pairing the Corona tweeter with multiple powered woofers per side and listing in the six-figure tier. These are full-range, high-efficiency designs aimed at the top of the market. Lansche competes in the statement-loudspeaker conversation with brands like Acapella (which also uses an ion tweeter), MartinLogan's electrostatics, and the cost-no-object dynamic makers — buyers come to it specifically for the plasma-driver presentation. In North America it is distributed by High End by Oz. Press recognition is at the level its price implies: reviews in Stereophile and The Absolute Sound, and a place on TAS's Editors' Choice list for $100K-and-up loudspeakers. Built in Germany.
