Two awards and a another great review

Welcome to the October 2021 German Physiks newsletter.

This has been another busy month with a great review and an award for our HRS-130 loudspeakers from stereoNET magazine and an Innovation Award for German Physiks from Hi-Fi+ magazine.

“An extraordinary high-end design …”

“An extraordinary high-end design” how David Price described our HRS-130 loudspeakers in his recent review in stereoNET magazine. David was so impressed that he gave the HRS-130 one of stereoNET’s sought after Applause Awards.

David’s review is full of compliments.  Here are just a few:

"The genius of the HRS-130 is its smoothness, spaciousness and subtlety. Even with loud and histrionic classic rock records, it's able to convey a great deal of their appeal."

"... the German Physiks never sounded less than highly enjoyable and insightful, with wondrous stereo imaging. No matter the programme material, the HRS-130 performed well across the board. From microdynamics and low-level detail resolution to spatiality, treble delicacy and timbral resolution. It did an excellent job of reproducing most things, giving insight into the music and the recording without getting too analytical.”

"Indeed one could argue that we have become accustomed to listening to the messy sound of drive units crossing over, and because this isn't present on the HRS-130, it can seem too silky. There's certainly something in this, as this speaker is seamless from bottom to top. With fewer distractions than usual, I was able to focus on the beautifully crafted electric guitar work; the texture of this instrument seemed to glint out from a dark void, such was its lack of colouration”.

“Of all the music genres I tried, it shone brightest with classical. Here, its clean, open and natural sound – almost wholly devoid of colouration – was a revelation. The superb London Symphony by Ralph Vaughn Williams was an unalloyed pleasure, as the HRS-130 played majestically to all its strengths. What amazed me was its sheer resolution of the depth and breadth of the concert hall, with all the air and space inside it.

David concluded:

"There are various great loudspeakers on sale at this price – all of which have differing visions of what constitutes superb sound – and the German Physiks HRS-130 is one of them. Of course, the best model for you is one that fits in with your taste, musical preferences, your system and your room – all of which are highly subjective. Yet, I can see many taking to this and loving it. Its engineering depth and build quality confer unique attributes that mark it out as an extraordinary high-end design."

David is one of the most experienced audio reviewers in the UK. He started his career in 1993 writing for Hi-Fi World and which he went on to edit for nearly a decade. He was then made Editor of Hi-Fi Choice and continued to freelance for it and Hi-Fi News until becoming StereoNET’s Editor-in-Chief. He has also written for the British newspapers, The Sunday Times and The Independent. This width of experience enables him to write reviews that are both very informative and are also expressed with great clarity.

Hi-Fi+ Innovation Award

While we have received many awards for our products, it is rare for us as a company to receive an award. This year has been an unusual year, so maybe we shouldn’t have been so surprised when the UK audio magazine Hi-Fi+ gave us one of their 2021 Innovation Awards.  This is principally for the unique DDD driver that we use in all of our loudspeakers. This is a physically compact omnidirectional driver, with an exceptionally wide frequency range.  On most German Physiks loudspeakers the DDD driver covers the range from 200Hz to 24kHz, though in our Unicorn Mk II loudspeaker a single DDD driver is used to cover the range from 40Hz to 24kHz.  This enables German Physiks loudspeakers to avoid any discontinuity caused by a crossover point in the midrange that all conventional loudspeakers have and consequently provides outstanding coherence and clarity.  The DDD driver provides German Physiks loudspeakers with 8 advantages over conventional designs.  It is also why we can justifiably claim that German Physiks makes, “The world’s most advanced omnidirectional loudspeakers”.
