—Danish Loudspeaker Legend and US Sales Veteran Make Beautiful Music Together
—Woodcliff Lake, NJ—14 September 2023:
Audiovector ApS, internationally-acclaimed producer of High-End loudspeakers, has chosen Specialty Sound and Vision, LLC (SSV) to represent their brand in the US. SSV is charged with growing Sales, Brand Awareness and Market Presence for the Danish icon and assumes these duties immediately.
Unable to find speakers that met his own high standards, Ole Kliforth, a successful Danish distributor of High End Audio products, founded Audiovector in 1979. Over the past 44 years, Audiovector has become one of the most honored brands in High End Audio, acclaimed and awarded worldwide for their exceptional sound and build quality. Although Ole still guides product design, his son Mads is CEO and Owner of Audiovector. Under Mads’ leadership, Audiovector has become a dominant international loudspeaker brand with distribution in more than 40 worldwide markets. It will be SSV’s task to match this success in the USA.
Following careers in Journalism, High End Audio retailing and Financial Analysis, Anthony Chiarella founded SSV in 1996. Although the company initially represented a wide range of products in the NY Metro Market, the closure of brick-and-mortar dealerships during the “Great Recession” prompted SSV to focus on higher-end brands which commanded extremely limited distribution. Eventually, the company’s business model evolved to include national brand representation of the most important “Ultra-Luxe” brands, sold exclusively through America’s finest brick and mortar dealerships. In addition to Audiovector, SSV manages Sales and Marketing of Gryphon Audio Designs ApS and Brinkmann Audio GmbH in the US and Canada.
“Audiovector is the perfect addition to SSV’s National Brand Portfolio,” said Anthony Chiarella, President of SSV. “The company’s emphasis on ultimate performance, artisanal build quality and irresistible aesthetic beauty is ideal for Ultra-Luxe Dealers and their clients.” Audiovector and SSV have already made the brand more desirable, focusing on the finest brick-and-mortar dealers, eliminating shipping costs, aligning retail prices with other world markets and expanding brand awareness through broad-based reviews, increased advertising and other marketing efforts.
Audiovector manufactures a comprehensive line of Ultimate Performance Loudspeakers from $1,725 to $76,500/pr MSRP and offers a virtually limitless assortment of finishes to match their customers’ desires and decors. The company looks forward to stronger sales and market presence through their relationship with SSV.
About Audiovector: Audiovector ApS was founded in 1979 by Ole Kliforth, a Danish distributor of High End Audio products. Unable to find loudspeakers that satisfied his own high standards, Kliforth undertook the design and manufacture of his own “Ultimate Performance” products. Today, Ole’s son Mads is CEO and Owner and honors Audiovector’s unique DNA and traditions. Every loudspeaker is designed, developed, and handcrafted in Audiovector’s Denmark factory to the industry’s highest standards. Audiovector is distributed in over 40 worldwide markets.
