Teufel Ultima 40 Floorstanding Speaker

Teufel is a renowned German audio brand that has become a major player in the European Hi-Fi market. Founded in Berlin in 1979 by Peter Tschimmel, the company initially started by selling speaker components and DIY kits before moving into full speaker systems. The Ultima series, particularly the Ultima 40, is one of their most iconic and best-selling products, known for delivering high-quality sound at a competitive price point.

While the engineering, acoustic design, and technical development happen at the company's headquarters in Berlin, the mass production of the hardware is carried out in China to maintain affordability. Teufel operates primarily through a direct-to-consumer model, selling its products via its own webshops and flagship stores.

Since 2018, Lautsprecher Teufel GmbH has been owned by the French private equity firm Ardian. This ownership has supported the brand's international expansion beyond its DACH region roots while maintaining its reputation for German engineering and audio excellence.
