Where typical audio companies might bombard you with technical jargon and spec sheets, we take a different approach. We invite you to listen first. Experience the music, compare the details, and feel how your playlist sounds on our systems.
For those who wish to dive deeper into the engineering after the listening session, we can always provide technical notes upon demand.
One Soul Group currently curates four of Klinger-Favre Audio definitive models
The D66
We designed the D66 for those who seek the impact of live sound and the accuracy of studio monitoring in a remarkably compact form. Featuring a custom KF-designed woofer and an integrated coaxial ultra-tweeter, the D66 utilizes a "floating board" vibration control system to eliminate interference.
The result is a 3D soundstage where the speakers disappear, leaving only the music. It is a high-end reference system, perfectly optimized for a bookshelf format.
The Studio 17
Klinger-Favre’s most sought-after design, the Studio 17, bridges the gap between critical monitoring and pure musical enjoyment. Whether positioned at the heart of a recording session or in a dedicated listening room, its output remains remarkably transparent, it offers a listening experience that is both technically precise and musically profound.

Equipped with an integrated KF coaxial ultra-tweeter, high-performance magnetic motors, and our signature floating-board vibration control, the Studio 17 eliminates interference to let the music breathe. It is a world-class tool for the recording engineer and a timeless centerpiece for the audiophile
The Studio 38
Presence and Precision
Five decades of expertise have led to the creation of the Studio 38. Designed in collaboration with Clément Lambert (Kartesian) and Francis Ibre, these four custom 38cm paper woofers feature a high-performance magnetic circuit, entirely handcrafted under the leadership of Jean-Jacques Bacquet.
.
Despite its command of the deepest frequencies, the Studio 38 remains remarkably light and agile. It removes the final veil between the listener and the performance, creating a holographic soundstage that feels human in scale. The Studio 38 is more than a loudspeaker; it is a physical experience.
The Master Amplifier
The Klinger Favre Master amplifier is the amplifier you’ve always dreamed of! Uncompromising, it encapsulates five decades of high-end electronics experience in a decidedly contemporary and warm design. Just one button: the volume control. In electronics, as they say, “less is more,” and the signal path has been meticulously optimized to deliver the utmost power and transparency.
One Soul Group: Exclusive US Dealer for Klinger-Favre Audio
In 2000, after running One Soul Studios in NYC for five years, my mentor Pierre Thouvenot called me from France. “I’ve met someone you need to know,” he said. “His name is Jean-Jacques Bacquet. He builds his own speakers and electronics in the Vosges mountains. His company is Klinger-Favre Audio, and I’ve never heard anything like it.”
A few months later, I visited the workshop. After hearing my own mixes and playlists on his system, I went through a period where I realized how much my work had been limited by the quality of my monitoring. These weren’t just speakers; they were instruments. It took me nine months of planning to own my first pair of Studio 15s, along with a Precision Amp and DAC.
By 2002, Jean-Jacques, his daughter Marie-Anne and I began designing acoustic spaces together in the north east of the United States. Since 2004, I have been proud to serve as the exclusive representative for the brand in the US.
