News about Blumenhofer Acoustics

We discontinue the Genuin FS 3

The Genuin FS 3 was the second product borne from Blumenhofer Acoustics, when we started to focus on the HiFi Market, was our first companion to the Genuin FS 1.
For a longer time was our best seller and for it we developed the P2F© bass woofer.
There have been 2 versions in the design of this loudspeaker. The first one, when we introduced it back in 2005 and this last one with a more modern foot and a smaller horn cabinet, an improvement made back in 2010. Electrically and soundwise the 2 design issues of the Genuin FS 3 are identical.

First Dealer's day at Blumenhofer

It was our first dealer's day, and we deliberately limited the presence to 6 guests to be sure to be able to support them all in the proper way. And the result was really positive.
It was the first experiment, and we have learnt how to improve the quality of the next ones. There will be regularly, probably one every 3-4 months.
You can browse trough some pictures we made here

Dream-Systems Page(s)

We introduce the Dream-Systems Page and its sub pages, the Dream-System Pages.
It has been a long work and it needed the cooperations of several people inside and outside our direct network.

The Dream Systems page
2015_08_02-Dreamsystems-Page


What is it about?
We want to tell how beautiful the Blumenhofer systems can be and therefore we invited some of our customers to submit their systems to be published on our pages.
We want the customers to share their opinion, their history and the reasons that moved them to choose Blumenhofer Acoustics. And we would like to share this feedback with our customers as well.

In the end the whole project became more extensive than expected because new ideas popped into mind each day. Some good, some rejected ;-)
To give to the Dream-Systems the place and the space they deserved, we had to redesign the main landing page and the splash screen. In the start page of blumenhofer we include one random system out of a max of 30.

The new Blumenhofer Landing Page
2015_08_02-Dreamsystem-Splash


But in the Dream-Systems we can add as many Dream-systems as we like, because each system submitted by the customer (and accepted by us) receives one page on its own and a position in the main Dream-Systems page. It is about the customers, not about the dealers or distributors: in these pages, the customers are in focus, like in each of our product and development.
The Dream-System page will contains some fixed points:
- the banner on top will be a particular landscape picture of the town where the system is set (at least 1600x535 points)
- there will be a short story about customer and system
- at least 2 pictures showing the system are needed
- Then, depending on the quality and quantity of the pictures submitted there could be a slide show.

- Tempesta 17 in Berlin

- Home Cinema in Munich

If You should feel inspired and would like to share Your Blumenhofer Dream System with us, do not hesitate to contact us!

Listening Session: The Bespoke Audio Company, UK

2015_07_19-Bespoke-Audio-Company-logo-round


Lucy and Harry, from the Bespoke Audio Company, paid us a visit at Blumenhofer: after a 5 years old appointment that has been postponed and renewed several times, finally we managed to meet. For this, we have to thank the perseverance of Harry, more than anything else.
We had chance to listen to their pearl. A passive preamplifier.

From the start the sound was convincing, dynamic, fast, clear, with the right presence on the whole frequency spectrum. It bears the musicality we aim to and we pursue in each of our developments. We tried it with several power amps and it matched them correctly.
Convincing. It is a product we will think about.
Then we have learnt that Lucy is personally winding the transformers, we then have learnt how far it is possible to tailor it to the needs of the customers and that it can be made to match the look of our loudspeakers. Lots of nice surprises and add ons for the demanding and knowledgable customer.
In the end, they opened up the little box for us: wow, very nice design, very nice construction, very simple but efficient cabling inside. Flabbergasting!! Not only for the sound but for the overall workmanship and attention to the single detail.

Lucy and Harry invest a huge amount of work and knowledge in their product. Entirely made in UK! I think that our two companies share a lot of understanding for music: looking forward for working together!!

Of course we had some fun during the day, if You are curious, You can have a look at our gallery, here.

2015_07_01-Logo-ReMusic


Ulisse Pisoni wrote a review of our Mini on ReMusic.it, here in Italian and here translated in English.

These are some excerpt from the article:

They bare a beauty, a musicality and they are so enjoyable that You will not miss higher priced systems
There is no listening fatigue, the annoying sensation related to hyper-definition and hyper-detail is absent
The Mini of Blumenhofer have the virtue to be enjoyable at high volume even for longer time
