News about the Genuin FS 3 MK 2
Göteborg HiFi Show
Saturday, Sep 17 2016, %R Genuin FS 3, HiFi Show, Sweden
We were in room Björkö, in the boot of OldSchoolHiFi at the Scandic Opalen Hotel.
The Setup was impressive, pure analog sources:
- Pluto Turntable with Pluto Tonearm and Ikeda 9TT cartridge
- Audiomat Phono Preamplifier
- Reed Turntable with Reed Tonearm and Van den Hul Condor Cartridge
- Octave Phono Preamplifier
- Audiomat integrated Amplifier
- Cammino cabling
- Cammino Power Harmonizer
- Loudspeakers Genuin FS 3 MK 2.
The biggest problem we had was the electricity quality. The room had very old unearthed sockets. Fact is that we had quite some grounding problems and an enormous hmm during setup…
…and these problems have been solved: we got our power from the corridor with a 15m long power cable brought in the local warehouse.
Despite these problems, we have been able to reach a quite satisfactory level of sound reproduction quality with that impressive analogue setup and the people were pleased by the sound that put the Music in focus…
This event has been possible thanks to our Dutch distributor, Marco de Wilde: he took over were Jan could not be part of the event. We are getting a nice Blumenhofer family that support each other, when for any personal reason some of us can’t, the other jump in. This is friendship!!

Norddeutsche HiFi Tage 2016
Monday, Feb 8 2016, %R Genuin FS 3, Germany, HiFi Show, Tempesta 17In the Einstein Room we played the Genuin FS 3 MK 2 signature edition combined with The Amp Ultimate from Einstein and the Air Force III from TechDas turntable.
In the AAA room the Tempesta 17 was playing on an ASR integrated amp with the turntable project from the Analog Audio Association.
Both of the room had lots of visitors and the Tempesta 17 proved itself as a good allrounder to support the several seminars and information happening made by the AAA people.
The Genuin FS 3 MK 2… for me it was the first time I had the chance to use it and test it how it performs in a show environment. I'm pleased, no hassle in setting it up, no problems in having it playing the way we desired, no fatigue during the 2 days of listening… in fact we spent the whole Friday at listening as well: we were ready with the setup really fast! And, as usual, at the end of the Friday we paid a visit to the centre of the town and shopped for LPs: it is always a good moment and a good way to relax.

Uni - HiFi Tag in Leipzig - Germany
Saturday, Nov 14 2015, %R Event, Genuin FS 3, Germany
It was just a one day event in a town in the former East Germany. But it was not less worth than a whole weekend show. Borne from the cooperation of two HiFi shops in Leipzig, Germany, presented in 5 rooms lots of equipment and good sounding materials. We had our Genuin FS 3 MK 2 signature edition, and it won some more signatures during the show.
Armin (our sales rep) and Matthias (retailer of Uni-HiFi) told me that they were amazed by the musicality of our loudspeaker and the way the people appreciated its qualities. I do not doubt and I'm looking forward to have it in Hamburg myself. The ambiente and the whole program were first class. You can see it in our gallery here
Suono di Gusto - Milano - Italy
Friday, Oct 16 2015, %R Event, Genuin FS 3, Italy
Spinelli HiFi in Viale Zara 108 in Milan hosted an event sponsored by our Italian distributor: HiFi United and the Home Vision group.
We have spent some good days playing there music. There were lot of people and very friendly customers. It was recharging! And we enjoyed it.
The system was composed by:
- Transrotor Turntable
- Rega CD Player
- Octave V70-SE Power amplifier
- Several components from M2Tech
- Astri contributed very effectively to tune the room acoustics
- and our Genuin FS 3 MK 2.
Lot of the components were brand new, but at the end of the days we managed to burn them in.
Westdeutsche HiFi Tage - Bonn
Saturday, Oct 3 2015, %R Genuin FS 3, Germany, HiFi Show
At the Westdeutche HiFi Tage, Armin Kern and Stefan Brück presented a system in the hall of the Hotel. This is for sure not the best environment to present ta loudspeaker, but probably the most effective way to impress people.
They were playing for the first time ever the Genuin FS 3 MK 2 and they made a Signature Edition out of it… It is amazing was the idea of Armin!!
This loudspeaker will follow me in the next german events! We wait for Your contribution.

We introduce the Genuin FS 3 MK 2
Monday, Sep 14 2015, %R 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
Saturday, Sep 12 2015, %R 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.
