STS-Digital has been present at the show, and as I asked Fritz his impressions, he gave me his enthusiastic statement:
We flabbergasted every visitor of the AV-NU show with a sound that, we think, they never heard before: it was music. They never experienced reproduced music in a way that Blumenhofer presented at the show.

Lots of interests and lot of pictures have been taken... the biggest surprise of the public was that that "small" speaker (Genuin FS 3) has been able to have such a big volume impact and quality.

Tomás of Pick-Up Sound invited me to participate to the event for Blumenhofer in Chiclana de la Fronteira, near Cadice in Spain on the 8th of October.
It was the best occasion to know him and his team personally and support his promotion of our brand in Spain.

I have been very warmly welcomed and felt as I would fit well there, maybe is the southern way of thinking, maybe is because I'm Italian and it seems natural to be there.

We set the system up on the 7th and on the morning of the 8th and have been quite satisfied of the sound result.
The setup consisted of an Ayon Spark III, and an Ayon CD Player.

At 10:30 started to come the first visitors: customers and friends of Tomás and Pick Up Sound: the enthusiasm and the affluence have been far better than expected. People came from Sivilla, Granada and Malaga to spend the day with us listening for music.
During the afternoon we changed the cables, XLR instead of RCA for the connection of the CD Player to the Power Amplifier... the setup was already good, it became fantastic!

After the show Antonio wrote me a mail that gave me lot of Joy:
[...] I think the FS 3 are amazing, love it. But the most impressing thing was Mr Vitali illuminating face every time he pronounced the word “music”.
I hope you never lose that passion and love for music, because I think that is the spirit that makes your brand sound as good.[...]

And that's one fact that we should never forget, as Carlos suggested during the event:

Music is a way of life. It is not made to test the systems

VälLjud, the Swedish distributor for Blumenhofer Acoustics, was at the Swedish show Sweetspot 2001 showing the Blumenhofer FS3 and furthermore a dealer showing the Blumenhofer FS1.
 
VälLjud was playing on a system consisting of Kondo Ongaku, Kondo M7 Phono and Kondo SFZ Stepup and a Oracle Delphi turntable, there was also an EAR Acute cd player for the digital playback. All cables was also Kondo, and a Shunyata netfilter.
 
The show was a big success with a lot of compliments on the exquisite sound coming from the Blumenhofer speakers.

We have been at Cherubini’s in Rome. The acceptance has been fantastic and the people in Rome have a very enjoyable way living. We have made some visits of beautiful areas in the town and enjoyed typical meals. We will go back there with joy.

After a short cooperation ValLjuD used the Genuin FS 3 to present his system at the Stockholm High End

The chain VälLjuD played on was composed by:
