Genuin FS 3 MK 2

Our classic reborn. Now with 10in-25cm woofer and harmonic construction.

After 10 years our Genuin FS 3 needed overhauling: it was missing the new technologies. We wanted to introduce the harmonic constructions, and… our new driver.
The Genuin FS 3 MK 2 now bears much bigger components, we developed extra for it a new 10" - 25cm paper woofer and the compression driver shows as well new membranes and a brand new horn, developed on purposes to match the compression driver behind it and the bigger woofer.
It is faster, it goes deeper, it is even more friendly to all kind of power amplifiers.

Es war ein sehr erfolgreicher Tag.  Es hatte nicht wahnsinnig viel Leute aber alle hatten viel Interesse.Die Kommentare zu Blumenhofer, Einstein und natürlich Hegel waren sehr positiv!Die meisten kannten Blumenhofer nicht, waren aber erstaunt wie gut die Lautsprecher klingen.Wir planen in Zukunft zwei Events pro Jahr bei Christian zu machen. Einer im Frühling und einer im Herbst.Im EG führten wir folgendes System laufen:Quelle:  Mac Computer (AirPlay) oder CD Transport Gato Audio CDD-1beides über den Hegel Wandler HD30 (Computer USB) und (CD Coaxial Digital.)Verstärker Vollerstärker Hegel H160.Lautsprecher Blumenhofer Tempesta 17Und Strom natürlich über den Cammino HarmonizerIm UG hatten wir folgendes System laufen.Plattenspieler Thales TTT-Compact mit Tonzelle EMT JSD 6Phonovorverstärker von Einstein The little big phonoVollverstärker Einstein The TuneLautsprecher B&W........ ähh sorry Blumenhofer Genuin FS 3 MK 2 Und das ganze wieder über den Cammino Harmonizer.Ich bin froh, dass ich diesen Lautsprecher gekauft habe, der ist wirklich genial!!

Norddeutsche HiFi Tage 2016

This year Blumenhofer was present in 2 rooms. One room was our room in the 16th floor, shared with Einstein. The other room was in the base floor, driven by the Analog Audio Association.
In 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.

Here You can enjoy some pictures we take in our rooms, some of them are taken by Walter Kircher
