Lorenzo Audio Labs is a Spanish loudspeaker maker from Granada, founded by Miguel Lorenzo Castro and Josep M. Gallart in 2021. It builds large, hand-finished passive speakers that mix compression drivers and paper cones with alnico magnets, and its flagship LM1 sells for about EUR 215,000 per pair.

Range & what it's known for

The Classic Collection includes the LM1 MK2, LM2, LM3 and LM6, with the stand-mount LM5 shown earlier, while the Bravo Collection adds the Grande and The Essence. The LM1 is a four-way design with a 16-inch woofer, an 11-inch midrange, a horn-loaded compression tweeter and a super-tweeter, rated at 96 dB and 8 ohms over 20 Hz to 35 kHz. The LM2 is a three-way with a 16-inch woofer, a 2-inch compression driver with a beryllium diaphragm and a tweeter, rated at 95 dB and 20 Hz to 35 kHz, uses a double rear-vented woofer enclosure, accepts amplifiers from 20 to 500 W, and stands 140 cm tall at 140 kg. Cabinets are 62 mm thick, made of phenolic laminated wood and elastomer in constrained layer, and machined on 5-axis CNC equipment. Art Deco racks and amplifier stands complete the catalogue.

Who owns it and where it's made

Ownership rests with the two founders. Crossovers are hand-wired without circuit boards using parts from Duelund, Jupiter, Mundorf and Pathaudio, bass ports are hand-turned from tonewood, and Panzerholz parts hold the drivers so that no metal screws touch their chassis. Veneers and inlays are applied by hand by a fourth-generation craftsman whose family has worked with wood since 1888.

The lineup in this catalog

Bookshelf loudspeakers including the LM3, LM5 and The Essence, and floorstanding LM1, LM2 and LM6 models.

Who it's for

Lorenzo suits buyers of statement speakers who value high sensitivity, large woofers and handmade cabinetry with rare veneers such as Macassar ebony, elm root or ziricote, or a white or high-gloss black finish. The LM2 is aimed at smaller rooms with nearly the flagship's design, and the LM1 MK2 is the top of the range.
