KV2 Audio has announced news of the passing of founder and industry pioneer George Krampera Sr.

In a statement, the company says: ‘George had a passion for everything audio and dedicated his whole life to making the world sound better. On this journey he travelled the globe, creating market-defining products and producing revenue streams for many of the biggest names in Pro

‘Audio. After spending time in Canada and Italy, before eventually settling back in his homeland of the Czech Republic, George earned a reputation as one of the most significant and revolutionary transducer designers in the history of modern audio.

‘George was a great communicator, generously sharing his skills, knowledge, and technical genius with his KV2 team, as well as the many devoted fans who travelled to meet him or followed his work online. Through KV2, George created a level of sound reproduction that was an absolute and honest reproduction of the original source, conveying the true emotion of any artist’s performance and, most importantly to George, making people smile!

‘Although semi-retired in recent years, George Sr continued to visit the KV2 factory, spending time with workers – especially the R&D team led by his successor, Radek Stöhr. Working alongside his son, George Jr, KV2’s CEO, he remained deeply connected to the company’s mission. Radek and the entire R&D team carry forward his uncompromising pursuit of perfect sound. His spirit is woven into the fabric of our company, and his legacy will resonate with every note a KV2 speaker produces. We will miss him dearly.’
