about livebox
Livebox is a Swiss collaboration between three established audio firms — Weiss Engineering, PSI Audio, and Illusonic — that debuted at Munich High End in 2017. It is a single-cabinet, roughly €20,000 loudspeaker system built around crosstalk cancellation: rather than relying on conventional stereo triangulation, it uses signal processing and a tuned driver array to deliver a wide, stable soundstage from one box, pulling each partner's strength (Weiss digital, PSI active-monitor drivers, Illusonic processing) into a single product. The pedigree behind it is serious. Weiss Engineering, the parent brand on the US side, is a long-running Swiss maker of professional and high-end digital electronics whose DACs are regularly reviewed in Stereophile. PSI Audio builds active studio monitors used in professional rooms, and Illusonic develops immersive-audio and room-processing technology. That combination gives Livebox a research-grade foundation rather than a startup origin. In the US and Canada, the Weiss family of products — and the Livebox by extension — reaches buyers through distributor Bluebird Music, with dealers including Vintage King, Verdant Audio, and AudioVision SF. Livebox itself has been covered in audioXpress and Hifi Pig since its 2017 debut, while Weiss DACs carry the broader Stereophile review history. It is a deliberately niche product — a one-box answer to the soundstage problem — competing more with processing-led and DSP-room-correction approaches than with conventional passive speakers. Design and manufacturing are handled in Switzerland across the three partner firms, anchored at Weiss Engineering in Uster.
