Introducing the £127,500 reference loudspeaker 7 years in the making – Audiovector R 10 Arreté

Audiovector R10 pair AMT up close

Danish high-end audio specialist Audiovector has announced the R 10 Arreté, its new flagship loudspeaker. The model is an ultra-premium, full-range floorstander; said to be the most advanced in Audiovector’s four-decade plus history. 

Reflecting a no-compromise approach to sound reproduction and build quality, the R 10 Arreté  has been developed by Audiovector founder Ole Klifoth, and his son Mads, over a seven-year period, the culmination of extensive acoustic research and engineering innovation.

The teardrop-shaped cabinet, designed to eliminate internal standing waves, features two proprietary Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeters, driven by powerful N 51 neodymium magnets. The dual design enhances detail retrieval, imaging, and spatial accuracy. 

There are also no fewer than eight bass units, constructed with lightweight rigid membranes and long-throw motor systems, operated in a line-source configuration, for deep, even bass. 

Audiovector is positioning the R 10 Arreté not only as luxury audio, but as a statement of what’s possible when science and artistry converge.

A full in-depth review from The Luxe Review will follow soon, but for now, expect something remarkable: a loudspeaker designed not just to fill a room with sound, but to immerse it in performance.

The loudspeakers are shipped in two bespoke, wheeled flight cases, ensuring safe transportation. Included is a premium accessory ensemble, packed in an elegantly crafted accessories box.

Inside you’ll find a unique Freedom Grounding Cable, eight precision-engineered spikes with matching FPU units, a signed certificate of authenticity, manual and a personal gift from Audiovector.

The Audiovector R 10 Arreté launch September 1, via Renassance Audio. Each speaker is hand-built to order in Denmark, with a price tag that reflects its reference status:  £127,500 per pair ($165.000 / €147.500 / DKK 1.100.000).
