Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands, one of the most respected mastering facilities in the world, runs two separate five-speaker Savoy Signature systems, one for stereo and one for multichannel work, a rare endorsement for a consumer loudspeaker to earn. This is the Savoy Signature SE, shown at Munich 2025 in a dedicated analogue setup, and Hifiverse's own verdict, a "wide and deep sound field" delivering "a sense of presence on stage," reflects exactly the balance of accuracy and musicality EgglestonWorks built the design around.
The system at a glance
One component, a substantial 158.7kg American flagship priced around $83,000 per pair, distinguished by mastering-studio adoption that few consumer audio products ever achieve. This entry captures the Savoy Signature SE itself as the Munich room's centrepiece, an analogue-focused demonstration built around EgglestonWorks's two founding design priorities, precision and musicality, held in equal regard rather than one sacrificed for the other.
Why these components work together
Rated at 87dB sensitivity into a nominal 8-ohm load with response extending from 18Hz to 24kHz, the Savoy Signature carries EgglestonWorks's characteristic non-conformist engineering approach - instead of chasing measured extremes in any single specification, the company's stated design philosophy prioritises the combination of accuracy and musicality it considers essential to any successful loudspeaker. The SE designation reflects a line-wide upgrade package EgglestonWorks applies across its range, an improved paint-finishing process alongside enhanced crossover components, upgraded internal wiring and binding-post improvements, changes the company describes as broadening the meaning of "Signature" beyond a single designer's name to encompass the sonic signature EgglestonWorks has built across its whole catalogue. That the Savoy Signature has been adopted by working mastering engineers, instead of remaining purely a home-audio showpiece, speaks directly to the accuracy half of that design equation - professional mastering work demands a loudspeaker that reveals what's actually on a recording instead of flattering it.
How it sounds
Hifiverse's own Munich verdict, a wide and deep sound field creating genuine on-stage presence, tracks with the professional credibility the Savoy Signature has earned in world-class mastering environments, a loudspeaker trusted by engineers who need to hear what's on a recording is, almost by definition, one capable of delivering the accurate yet musically engaging soundstage Hifiverse's own listening notes describe.
