Montreux CE Show 2015
20 September 2015, 14:03 Genuin FS 2, HiFi Show, Switzerland
At the Montreux CE Expo 2015, Soundrevolution had a big room, about 70 square meter, and we presented our Genuin FS 2 combined with The Tune from Einstein. The whole power cleaning was based on Cammino their Power Harmonizer to get the system playing at its best.
The opted for analogue music reproduction, but even our CD partners found a good solution for their needs. The sources will be:
- Plattenspieler Thales TTT-Compact including the famous Thales Tonarm
- CD Transport from Audio Tonale
At fist I was surprised by the quantity of strange products at the show: refrigerators, ovens, television sets, even pots and hair blowers.
At first I was not really understanding what was happening: very little public at the show. Then I understood that: it was a dealer show.
Each person entering the room was in fact dealer of some kind of electronic components or home appliances. GREAT!!
We had the time to spend and to discuss with each person coming to our room. I think I've seldom enjoyed such a relaxed and rich fair, seldom in such a beautiful place with such a rich environment (even outside the show area).

Michael Holzinger of Sempre-Audio.at is always astonishing. Not even one day after our news about the Genuin FS 3 MK 2, he is making an analysis on our Genuin product lines. And as usual he is going deep in the matter. Here You can read his article, in German. Enjoy!
I'm looking forward for his article on the Tempesta 17! ;-)
We introduce the Genuin FS 3 MK 2
14 September 2015, 17:40 Genuin FS 3, ProductThis loudspeakers bears several news, if compared with the one it substitutes:
- Harmonic construction
- 25cm (10") paper woofer based on own development (instead of 20cm-8")
- easy time alignment system on top of the main cabinet
- floor ported bass reflex duct (instead of front)
- own made lacquered HDF horn
It maintains lots of the properties that made the Genuin FS 3 MK 1 a best-seller:
- High efficiency
- flat impedance curve
- tube friendliness
- switchable impedance linearization for the cross over frequencies
For us a really major improvement, worth the while.
Available starting mid of October 2015. Now, the music is up to You!
We discontinue the Genuin FS 3
12 September 2015, 05:56 Genuin FS 3, ProductFor 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.

Dream-Systems Page(s)
2 August 2015, 08:03 CommunicationIt has been a long work and it needed the cooperations of several people inside and outside our direct network.
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
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.
For the start there are 4 systems, take a look at them and enjoy:
- Fort 1881 in the Hook of Holland
- Tempesta 17 in Berlin
- Fun 13 in Kölln
- 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
17 July 2015, 07:23 Listening Session, Partners, United Kingdom
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.
