Gaetan Byk Acquires High-End Audio Equipment Designer and Manufacturer Amadeus

Founded 30-years ago in Paris by Bernard Byk and Michel Deluc, Amadeus has been acquired by Gaetan Byk, who is intent on continuing the company's journey with its unique audio speaker designs and one-of-a-kind projects. The French audio manufacturer is renowned for its live, installed, and custom sound reinforcement and studio systems, and became recognized globally with the unique Philharmonia reference speakers, unveiled in 2014.

French speaker designer Amadeus confirmed Source Systems, Ltd. as its US distributor for the Hi-Fi market for new speakers co-designed by world-renowned architect Jean Nouvel. The new USA distributor for Amadeus Philharmonia speakers expects speakers to be available in California by early February, 2016: for sale and for demonstrations. The new speakers retail in the US for $39,900 per pair.

Amadeus is now shipping the remarkable Philharmonia speakers, co-designed by world-renowned architect Jean Nouvel for both the high-end and professional audio markets. The French company initially created the speakers specifically for the Philharmonie de Paris recording and mastering studios using a unique curved structure consisting of 547 wood veneers accurately machined and assembled.
