Why the direct sales of our High-end lines loudspeakers?

Our decision is well thought and we decided for the direct sales, because we know that direct sales is the only way, customers get the best product for their money and the best after purchase service, when purchasing our exclusive High-end loudspeakers.

Furthermore, every AP speakers model are a detailed hand work, we put at least 50 hours of hand work of different specialists in creation of AP High-end loudspeakers. From wood specialists, electronic construction, design solutions, testing and quality control. All parts are manufactured in EU and all supplied parts are of the highest quality, which inevitably means high supply and production costs. In conclusion final production costs of Gracioso and Maestoso loudspeakers are also inevitably high.

Our policy from the start of Acoustic Preference company, has always been to maximize benefits and satisfaction of our customers, and in our opinion, direct sells is the only fair way to deliver High-end hifi equipment directly from our company to your homes with no extra margins and for approx. 50% lower prices.

Are our products still in High-End product class, nevertheless the prices are evidently better?

Because the high volume of manual work put in the making of our speakers, the production in large batches is not possible. Each pair of our speakers is exclusive product that can be produced annually within a max. few hundred pairs.

A few highly skilled experts are responsible for the composition of the speakers and every pair of our loudspeakers is handcrafted on customers demand.

Moreover, the customers get the same quality product for approx. 50% lower price, which means that AP loudspeakers are of course still exclusive High-end product, but for much friendlier and more affordable price.

Thus we can legitimately claim, that with the purchase of Acoustic Preference loudspeakers our customers get the highest rank of high-end speakers for affordable price, that are made in small production numbers, handmade and very exclusive.

Does the quality remain the same?

It is very important to point out, that the speakers are identical to those in the tests, so the new prices will not bring any change in quality. Quality is only improving with age, as they have now been in production for the third year, and in the meantime many things were learned or the processes improved, to achieve an even better final result.

Due to bad experiences with shipping the first pairs of speakers around the world in cardboard packaging, the packaging into wooden boxes was introduced. That's one of the reason, we did not have any transportation accidents or injuries since.
That is how we ensure that our transportation is risk free and 100% save.

How do you know how they sound, before you decide for a purchase?

Moreover, we make sure that the loudspeakers are regularly sent on tests to various recognized experts in the world, to make your purchase decision easier. At the same time the tests results also give us needed feedback and confirmation that we made really superior speakers.

What are the main advantages of buying directly from the manufacturer?

There are a lot of advantages of direct buy. One of them is obviously much friendlier price, but there are also others, also important advantages. To begin with, now you can get the most detailed information about AP loudspeakers directly from AP team. The people who created the loudspeakers can offer the most comprehensive customer support.
There is at least 2 years of research work in each of our loudspeaker model and no sales person or distributer can offer all the needed answers and support, besides the designers and engineers that developed the product.

Secondly, we keep records for every pair of sold loudspeakers with all their components and/or custom made properties. You can always decide to send your speakers to maintenance, renewal or even upgrade to MK units if possible.

Direct buy also provides you the best after purchase support, because you solve warranty matters directly with manufacturer.

INTERNATIONAL REVIEWS:
From StereoMojo review:Review by William Schuchard

The Acoustic Preference Gracioso 1.0 speakers are a reference quality monitor. Every aspect of this speaker was taken to the nth degree such as their hand - built walnut cabinets, carefully crafted to control resonance and dispersion and the use of very high quality drivers and components. When one purchases these speakers, they are not just looking for good sound, but world-class sonics wrapped in heirloom quality cabinetry and hardware.Their neutral sound characteristic, dynamic capacity, exemplary bass response, extraordinary soundstage and imagining are likely to be a big hit with music lovers. As in most artistic endeavors, opinions are split regarding the appearance of the Gracioso's. Some think they are gorgeous while others think they are more gaudy. But then the word "gaudy" comes from the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi famous for the cathedral in Barcelona as well as many other very ornate structures. Whichever way your tastes run, they are certainly eye catching and look like no other speaker in the world.

Consumers whose currency is based on the Euro may find these to be a great deal. While the $10,000 price point seems high for a stand mount speaker, it really is not that unusual. The Herbage M40.1 at $13,000, the Sonus Faber Guarneri at $15,000 , MBL 121 at $14,000 are just a few examples of others. There is no doubt that this offering from Slovenia is a perfectionist, no compromise assault on the monitor speaker state-of-the-art. Those that can afford it may find themselves being seduced and falling in love with a speaker that can be very addicting.

From EnjoyTheMusic review:

A Feast for both ears and eyes straight from Slovenia in Eastern Europe.Review By Anthony NicosiaConclusionMy time with the Acoustic Preference Gracioso 1.0 loudspeakers along with their matching factory stands seemed way too short. These loudspeakers sat amidst a group of towering giants (physically speaking) from Legacy, Klipsch and Magnapan where the only way they could differentiate themselves would be through sonic performance, and perform with excellence they did. While the 1.0's can be driven with lesser audio gear they are best suited to be mated with electronics of equal quality with which to bring out their very best. Placing them with top of the line source components, proper power and preamplifier's as well as cabling (yes power conditioners too) will reward you with exquisite music to be enjoyed for years to come. Doing so you might find yourself amazed at this loudspeakers ability to convey the essence of a performance.While small in size (relatively speaking) they did not seem so when playing back large scale musical passage and astonished me with their ability to fill my room with beautiful sound. While not having experienced any of their other models it would seem to me if one is seeking out loudspeakers for use in a very large room, or those that will extend down lower for more bass impact, the next logical step would be to move up the line checking out their larger floor standing models. Normally I research a company quite thoroughly before taking on an assignment in an effort to assure myself of getting something which will fit my system so as to sound at its very best.

With this review Steven Rochlin, the editor of Enjoy the Music, set me up with Marjan Tancer of Acoustic-Preference before I had time to think it through which was a lucky break for me so as not to foolishly overlook the 1.0's out of pure ignorance. This is why he is the editor and I just listen and review. My thanks to Steven Rocklin and Acoustic-Preference for allowing me to experience loudspeakers that made me rethink my obsession with size and to enjoy a listening experience with loudspeakers from the truly high-end side of our hobby.

Bravo Acoustic- Preference!
