Speaker Asylum

My first time came while I was a student. My small cell in the hall of residence was home to a couple of JBL s and an integrated amplifier lump from Yamaha, when one day I was invited to visit a fellow student s listening room. I found I had stepped into another world, then unknown to me, in which sound was all of a sudden dynamic and spectacular: a highefficiency loudspeaker cabinet fitted with full range drivers and a high-frequency horn opened my heart to a completely new way of hearing recorded music.

Three decades and many, many, loudspeakers later: I find myself on the way to the Boenicke Audio presentation room at the High-End in Munich. Amid everything that the show has to offer, for many years now Sven Boenicke s presentations have counted among the best for me. Instead of a parking lot of pompous equipment, Las Vegas bling and know-it-all, professor mentality, here is a young good-looking Swiss guy in jeans and sneakers, who prefers to let the music speak for itself.

And nothing much seems to faze him whether that be particularly weird questions, or that particular breed of audiophile who would test my personal tolerance down to the very last nerve. His loudspeaker design has a fresh, unfussy and elegant air and with an extremely high recognition factor. This autodidact has been working on building loudspeakers for around 25 years; his workshop in Basel has been operating for 17 of them. The manufactory, disregarding outside suppliers, is actually a one-man operation.

From the moment that Sven Boenicke takes delivery of the one-piece CNC-machined, solid wood housings from a carpentry shop in Motathal, the assembly and finishing work is exclusively down to him. Where it says Boenicke Audio on the outside, there is definitely Boenicke Audio on the inside.

Mass production? No, thank you! His loudspeaker philosophy encompasses principles pertaining to the selection of material, drivers and components: So when it comes to his housings, then only solid wood will do. He is convinced that no other material PDF image-hifi. Potential speaker chassis are tested for as long as it takes for one to be found that meets his sonic requirements. To do this, the drivers attributes in regard to linearity and bandwidth should require no "corrective tuning in the filter.

An if it doesn t fit, it s made to fit is just as unacceptable to Sven Boenicke as using MDF for the cabinet manufacture or sound restricting cabinet coatings. However, if we are talking about tuning measures to improve the sound, Sven Boenicke abandones the motto reduced to the max and goes to considerable lengths that you don t see from the outside true wolves in sheep s clothing. Anyone who had been expecting to see some real big fellas in the Boenicke Audio room was disappointed: Instead of demonstrating his large speakers, he limited himself to presenting two new models: W5 and W8.

The W stands for solid wood, the figure for the size of the bass driver in inches. The W5 is the size of a desktop speaker; the W8 is almost 12 cm across and just short of 80 cm high.

I confess that my curiosity extended firstly to the W5. The sound coming from this dwarf fascinated me so much that I promptly summoned my journalistic colleagues to become wit - nesses to this listening trial.

The W5 seemed to be suspending the laws of physics from the bass perspective, the performance was stunning. Responsible for the magnificent presentation were, on the face of it, one wideband driver, one side mounted woofer and a rearward facing tweeter. Full of appreciation, I left the room. Of course, not without informing Herr Boenicke of my intention to want to soon put the W8 rather more closely under the magnifying glass.

Here we are talking about the top of the range example of the W8, which is also available in Standard as well as a plain SE variant. The difference between the three versions lies in the number of installed tuning elements and the complexity of the integration of the Swing Base mounting as well as the component selection.

It comes with a 3 inch aluminium wideband driver from Fountek, a Tang Band mid-woofer, specially made for Boenicke Audio with a 4 inch paper membrane and apple wood phase plug. A turned maple cone is mounted directly to the magnet. On the side there is a Tang Band 6. So that s the driver concept. From there the wideband driver takes over via a top quality Mundorf Silver- Gold Oil foil high pass filter cap.

The ambient tweeter kicks in at around Hz. The bass with a very long, high self-inductance voice coil falls off continuously by itself from ca.

In order to combat the conflicting and competing influences of the drivers, all of the chassis sit in their own housings. These have been formed in such sizes and with partitions and braces in The tuning item of the decade : According to Sven Boenicke, speakers fitted with the Swing Base remain more still in the critical mid and high tone spectrum than with a spike mounting.

Joachim Gerhard has been able to back this up using accelerometer measurements. The front mounting consists of a sandwich construction with bronze cups, between which sit steel or ceramic balls. The inner cabling utilises silk sheathed, direction optimized and cryogenized copper high-frequency stranded wire order to prevent the generation of any standing waves.

The final form is milled in two halves from solid timber; Sven optimizes the volumes for the midrange and wideband drivers by ear. Differences can be audible from volume changes of approx.

When you peel off the next layer of the onion, you find your self confronted with the W8 s tuning elements. Simply their number was a challenge for me: On the one hand, the measures are so interesting that it really would be worth it to illuminate all their aspects in detail. However, to do this I would need something like a quarter of the volume of this edition. On the other hand, I have to simply anticipate doing it, should I wish to comprehensively describe the speaker s impressive capabilities.

One tuning feature that I would like to highlight is the Swing Base one of Boenicke s own developments. The Swing Base enables the speaker to virtually swing freely with minimal friction in the horizontal axis. Joachim Gerhard, one of the icons of speaker building industry, after intensive listening and technical assessment, described the Swing Base as the tuning item of the decade.

In fact, the influence of the Swing Base is of a dramatically positive nature right across the whole sound spectrum. The stage opens up further in every dimension, instruments become even more clearly individually defined.

What is particularly astonishing is that the gain in body is not achieved via an artificial inflation. The opposite is the case, the Swing Base works like a biological cleaning agent: Tones are cleaned of over glossed resonances and thus are endowed with more radiance; the bass is liberated from oscillation ballast and is able to show its tight, elastically full side. On the front face of the speaker mount a sandwich construction is employed, onto which are placed steel or ceramic balls, according to preference and these sit held between two small bronze cups, one of which is already fitted to the speaker s underside.

Any - one who has already experimented with the effects of different ballbearings on a Garrard will be able to confirm the apparent sonic differences between the materials used. Ceramic balls cater for a stronger presence for high tones and a somewhat airier reproduction, the steel balls ground the sound characteristics in the direction of more weight in the tone.

PDF image-hifi. All three cone drivers are equipped with proprietary electromechanical Stage II series and parallel resonators. The resonators take care of energy re-distribution of randomly spread overtone frequencies to as exactly as possible defined resonance frequencies and their harmonics and sub-harmonics. Which frequencies are those? Trade secret. According to Sven Boenicke resonator-less systems, in comparison, sound too bright, not grounded, are lacking in dimension and convey false sound colors an impression that I share.

Now when I listen to high-end components, I don t do it completely in camera. Of course friends, acquaintances and colleagues pass through my place and in doing so are inevitably confronted with the latest changes in my listening room.

The technology originates from submarine sonar systems where it improves signal-to-noise ratio. In parallel with the speaker input sits Holger Stein s Speaker Match Signature photo top left to improve the signal transmission from the amplifier to the speaker.

In addition, a patented linearization network bottom of photo is employed to shift the acoustic phase to considerably improve local imageing of the high-frequency components such as sibilants PDF image-hifi.

On this track, Beo Brockhausen, a studio musician from the Stockfisch team, plays an African Mbira and instrument whose metal tines are mainly plucked. The reverberation is generated mechanically in the body of the instrument and sounds like an artificially produced echo.

The sweet spot is so big that it barely matters whether you are sitting central or not. Even sitting in front of one of speakers, a large part of the stereo image and depth of space is still evident. The scale of the stage is spectacular. All of the instruments are clearly separated, can be precisely located and remain in place in the room. The contrabass solo on Camp d'argeles feels like it s taking place 3 metres behind the speakers, it feels like it wants to come storming through the back wall, such as its force totally offended that I can t offer the singer more space for him to properly expand.

For such a spatial impression it is most certainly al- so the very broad radiant performance of the rear mounted small tweeters that are responsible the high-frequency bipolar concept swells and furthermore caters for a great homogeneity in the sound image also way outside the speaker axes.

The fingering and plucking of the bass strings is articulated in color and contour and reproduced in every fine and coarse dynamic shadowing. The vibration decay of the strings natural and with an abundance of detail.

I plainly have to force myself to step on the euphoria brake. And what s the best way to do that? By looking for flaws. They want to be aligned and adjusted with great care. Every minute of haste contains the risk of unnecessarily squandered potential. Now this brings my visitors back to mind: The nervously searching eyes are always the harbingers to the question: So where s the subwoofer then?

When I laid one of the albums that has been a longterm guest on my heavy rotation list for 12 months now, on my record deck, I was pretty damn amazed. Please don t get me wrong: You can have an amazing amount of fun with cheaper electronics, but just how much there really is in a speaker, you can only really experience when you apply the rather tiresome well-known principle better is the enemy of good.

The amplifiers I used to spur the Boenickes to such greatness, were the pre- and power amplifier combination of a Renaissance Preamp und Hypex Ncore mono blocks with 2 x W as well as an Allnic T integrated tube amplifier with 2 x W at 8 ohms, which had been very kindly loaned to me by Preference Audio. As different as these two amplifier concepts are they both have much in common at an extremely high level, in particular in as far as transparency, resolution capacity and spatial performance are concerned.

In brief: The class D modules are on the neutral-analytical side, they generate a dry sound aesthetic and are satisfactorily pleasing to the ear. The neutral-warm Allnic T generates a silky, natural sound and strokes the listener with emotions. The various voice registers within the background vocals were markedly separated from one another, yet still formed a homogenous whole, the finest details were cleanly carved out I have rediscovered my record.

Anyhow, spoken and sung voices sounded extremely natural. The voice sounded from the background with a natural dose of fundamental tone and granted insights into the singer s deep breathing. The presentational relationship of the soprano voice of Maria Callas with the orchestra on Maria Callas Remastered Costa Diva LP, Warner Classics, BE showed itself to be noticeably more deeply graduated and more exactly defined than I had known before.

With all neutrality across the whole bandwidth, they radiate a magic from which you can barely pull yourself away. A visitor encapsulated it in a single idea: The Boenicke speaker is a wormhole into another galaxy.

I can only concur with this.

Auris may use the Peerless woofer? Stay home. Respect the 2m bubble. Find More Posts by planet I have build a pair of W5 SE clones and want to share some info and ideas. After that, I have simulated all the crossovers available and I think none of them are the best choice. At least with my measurements calibrated mic and Arta software. First, my measurements say that rear tweeter has minimum influence in the system because the rear position makes it being like 15dB les than fullrange driver Fountek FE These are the results: Grey line is the filter with the original specs sheet response curves and blue one with my measured response curves. Similar up to 5KHz.

General speaker questions for audio and home theater. Speaker Asylum General speaker questions for audio and home theater. Return to Speaker Asylum. These things are ugly.
