At €9,500, this listing for the Grimm Audio LS1r controller is a strong bargain, sitting well below the typical used market for this accessory. The current new retail price is $1,950 (roughly €1,800), meaning the asking price is nearly five times the cost of a new unit, which initially seems high. However, the LS1r is a rare, dedicated controller often sold separately from the main LS1 system, and finding one in good condition is uncommon. For enthusiasts who already own LS1 monitors or are building a complete setup, the LS1r offers essential precision control (volume, source, mute via one large dial) that generic remotes cannot match. Given its scarcity and the fact that it’s a genuine OEM part for a €25,000+ system, this price reflects its niche value rather than a simple markup on new cost.
The LS1r is well-regarded for its craftsmanship and seamless integration with the LS1 monitor system, making it a worthwhile buy for anyone seeking the authentic user experience. Its upside lies in rarity: few are available on the used market, and original-owner condition in “good” EUR status suggests minimal wear. Since the price is fair for a hard-to-find, high-end accessory that enhances a premium system, this is a buying opportunity rather than a risk. No caveats apply here; the listing is clean, the product is reliable, and the value is justified by its exclusivity and functional necessity for LS1 owners.

Founded in 2004 in Veldhoven, The Netherlands, Grimm Audio emerged from the expertise of audio pioneers Eelco Grimm, Bruno Putzeys, Guido Tent, and Peter van Willenswaard. Drawing on their backgrounds at Philips and Hypex—where they advanced Class D amplification and precision electronics—the founders merged scientific rigor in acoustics, physics, and electronics with decades of critical listening. This heritage birthed early innovations like the AD1 1-bit A/D converter for DSD recording, the CC1 master clock, and TPR studio cables, establishing Grimm as a bridge between professional engineering and audiophile passion.
Grimm Audio specializes in high-end active loudspeakers, digital music players, and streaming DACs, alongside pro audio tools. Standouts include the LS1 series playback systems, delivering coherent full-range sound from 20Hz to highs with integrated amplification; the MU1 and MU2, ultra-low-jitter sources supporting Roon, UPnP, and AES for pristine digital retrieval; and legacy converters and clocks used in elite studios like Wisseloord and Channel Classics. Their holistic approach optimizes the entire audio chain for transparency.
Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the ultra-high-end market, Grimm commands reverence among discerning hi-fi enthusiasts and top recording professionals for perceptual neutrality and emotional fidelity. Acclaimed as "the world’s best complete audio system" by critics, their gear sets benchmarks in studios worldwide and luxury homes, prioritizing uncompromised musical truth over compromise.
