News about Blumenhofer Acoustics

We introduce the Wiki

Our Wiki has a short name but is big. And sounds.
We do not dare to say “all you ever wanted to know about music” because we are still wondering if we have a chance to go beyond the frontiers of possible.

For the first time a compression driver with a 75 mm Beryllium membrane and a field coil magnet with more than 2,5 Tesla: the most powerful available magnet with the biggest Beryllium membrane. The Beryllium membrane and the compression Chamber for the driver come from us. The rest from Wolf von Langa and his Kilimanjaro driver series
For the bass a 38 cm woofer with field coil magnet as well. Entirely made by Wolf von Langa whithin his Kilimanjaro series.

That’s the technic behind.

In front there is music... what a fantastic reproduction... or was it real?

We introduce the Gran Gioia

The Gran Gioia in our opinion the greatest expression in a traditional 2-Way front loaded horn speaker. ‘Gran Gioia’ means ‘great Joy’ in Italian, and I can assure you that this fits. Come and listen.
The Gran Gioia is available in 2 versions, the first one with standard magnets and the other with field coil magnet of the Kilimanjaro series. To know a little bit more about field coil loudspeakers, visit the site of Wolf von Langa and his great vintage loudspeakers web page.

Fotoshooting

We made some serious fotoshooting of our loudspeakers... but a primadonna pretended the center of the objective...

Event at the AZ footbalstadium in Alkmaar 2011

I’ll not write too much, I only forward you the words of Marco De Wilde, our distributor for the Netherlands.

First of all, the show. We were asked (on a very short notice) to help out the manufacturer of Kanzy for this show with the best loudspeakers and source that we could think of, well, you know what we used.

A quick explanation about the set-up:
Kanzy Kaam-1000 integrated amp (€59.800,=),
Loit Passeri cd-player (€25.000,=),
Heavens Gate cabling (€12.500,=).
• Blumenhofer Acoustics Genuin FS 1

All together very expensive, but also very, very good! Mostly heard commentary: Absolute best sound of the show! And this while others used much more expensive setup!

This show was organized by one of the leading dealers in the Netherlands (called
Studio Alkmaar) and took place on the 19th and 20th of February at the AZ footbalstadium in Alkmaar. As I already mentioned, 9 out of 10 visitors told us we had the absolute best sound of the show, in the next copy of Music and Emotion magazine we will get the official Award for this!

Norddeutsche HiFi Tage 2011

Norddeutsche HiFi Tage - 5.-6. Februar 2011 - Holyday Inn Hamburg

We participate to the Norddeutsche HiFi Tage in Hamburg and they have been the most relaxing days in the last months. After 2 days of Music we still did not have enough of it :-)
The chain playing was composed by:
- Einstein CD Player - The Source
- Einstein Power Amplifier - The Absolute Tune
- Blumenhofer Acoustics - Fun 17
- Einstein Cables
- Rack Andrea&Volker special construction for the Norddeutsche HiFi Tage

Here to the official web pages.

We received some days ago a mail from one of the visitors of the exposition, I translate it here below... I do not need to say more, this is the biggest satisfaction for me.

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
With biggest surprise and genuine astonishment among the present people, I truly enjoyed your presentation with my brother in law on saturday evening! In our ramble trough the corridors he suddenly said “there plays a live band!” (no joke) and disappeared in direction of Blumenhofer/Einstein... that was the hammer!
[...omissis...]
Tree times we came back to the room because it made Fun to enjoy each kind of music that way.
[...omissis...]

New binding posts

We are not used to change the specification or the components of our products if we are not forced to do it. In this case we had to: a shortage of binding posts that put us in difficulty. After purchasing each single binding post from all european distributors, partially on our specification, one specialized company made us these binding posts in the picture.

Our new bullets match acoustically the quality of what we used before. Furthermore they have some little advantages: Ralph Werner of Fairaudio.de mentioned the fact that our bullets are mounted to near to each-other making the use of spades quite complicated. Although we suggest the use of the banana plugs, this problem is now solved. The material? Where it matters: gold plated copper.
