After reviewing the Borderland Mk IV for the Czech audiophile magazine Hi-Fi Voice, their editor, Daniel Březina, was so impressed with that he heard that he decided to award them a Hi-Fi Voice Reference Award. The review is written in Czech, but if you open it in the Chrome browser it should display a reasonably good English translation. You may need to right click on the text to make this appear. You can find the review here. Here are a few quotes: "The absence of multiple drivers gives the impression of amazing coherence, especially as the DDD driver has a speed close to that of an electrostatic driver." "In any case, the music (at least at normal volume levels) has immense drive and at the same time enormous control – the German Physiks are a model of solidity. They behave almost like monitors – clear, self-evident, faithful and only minimally influencing or “slowing down” the musical events." "The intensity of a horn loudspeaker, the physicality of the classic domes and cones and the brilliant speed of (almost) electrostatics, create an impressively lively and detailed experience." "And the biggest advantage is of course the rather different presentation of space, which, compared to conventional designs (and actually most omnipolars we have encountered), simply expands. It really does expand – in front of and behind the cabinets, but also around them …" Daniel concluded: "If you want “something different”, the Borderland Mk IVs are highly recommended, precisely for their fascinating and entertaining difference."
You can see why the Borderland is our best selling loudspeaker. It provides exceptional level of performance in a cabinet that will comfortably fit in most rooms. In addition, it has the useful advantage over conventional designs that it is not overly fussy about where it is positioned in the room.
