Rautilio series |

I’ve been following Gediminas Racevicius and his Audio GE loudspeaker brand from pretty much its inception and it’s been great to see him grow from a fledgling brand to one that now has representation in many markets around the world. However, this is the first time I have personally sat in front of a pair of his loudspeakers. The speakers are the TEDDY at €2950 and they do seem to be a lot of speaker, that are also well finished, for what, in the grand scheme of things, is not a lot of money.
They are a handsome loudspeaker standing 900mm high and with ScanSpeak 25mm tweeter and a ScanSpeak 260mm classic paper cone. They are 89dB sensitive and offer a claimed response down to 34Hz, which judging by the response in the room is not unbelievable playing Madness by Muse.
These speakers aren’t ground-breaking from a technology perspective and what they offer is an honest and down-to-earth design that delivers in spades if their performance today, and in less than ideal surroundings is anything to go by.
Very good and a brand that will become bigger and bigger over the next few years in my opinion.

The short quote from long review in TONEaudio Magazine with the
Exceptional Value Award winner for 2021
The Audio GE Teddy speakers have been delivering the goods here for just over a month now and our enthusiasm is higher than ever. This pair of two-way floorstanders tip the scale at just under 60 pounds and will tap your wallet for just under two grand – delivered to your door in a nice pair of crates, that you can either save for moving another day, or DIY an equipment rack out of. Either way, the attention paid to details at this price makes them a stellar bargain.
Only 37 inches tall, the Teddys feature a 10-inch woofer and 1-inch silk dome tweeter, both from Scan-Speak. Inside, the simple and efficient crossover network has equally high quality parts. Thanks to a downward firing port, GE claims bass response to 33hz, and helps keep the footprint minimal. Cranking up some of our favorite Massive Attack tracks certainly produces bass you can feel. The soft dome tweeter is just plain lovely, and if you’re a fan of a great two way, this can be your cuppa.
The Teddy’s do it all with style and grace, whether you’re blasting Slayer or calmly listening to Ella. – and they’ll do it with a 20 watt per channel vintage receiver, or your favorite modern amplifier. Consider these a new, modern classic speaker – the likes of Vandersteen, Magnepan, or KEF. And one of our Exceptional Value Award winners for 2021. Well done.
