General : The Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 is the compact version of the Gran Gioia SE and MK2

Technology : The Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 is a full range horn loudspeaker system. This means that both the bass and midrange/treble are completely reproduced through a horn. This creates a highly coherent sound. While the large Gran Gioia SE has an enormous 38cm woofer, which is mounted very rigidly, the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 has 2 smaller 23cm woofers, which are suspended softly via a roll surround. The woofers are mounted above and below the midrange/treble horn, creating a true phase-correct D'Appolito configuration. All frequencies therefore originate from one point. Adjustment options are not available and are unnecessary. The crossover frequency is very low, namely 750Hz. This means that a very large portion is reproduced by the very fine and sensitive midrange horn, which is made of solid wood. The crossover filter itself is housed in a separate chamber, preventing resonances from affecting the components. The Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 is relatively compact, but it is still a substantial loudspeaker; now this speaker is perfectly suitable for small, medium-sized and also large listening rooms. The woofers are extremely fast and blend completely with the midrange/treble horn. The efficiency is very high, 95dB/1m, but somewhat lower than the 100 dB/1m of the Gran Gioia SE. The Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 can be driven very well by high-quality transistor amplifiers, but also with relatively small tube amplifiers the new Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 performs fantastically.

Listening : Listening to the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia series is breathtaking. Forget the polished reproduction of many high-end loudspeakers. Experience the authenticity and purity of reproduction through these loudspeakers. Listen to a drum, or a concert grand piano, and you hear the authenticity within 1 second. The Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 has the same tonal characteristics as the large Gran Gioia SE. The openness, clarity, speech intelligibility are at the same high level. But the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 also sounds different. Somewhat less upfront, but rather more relaxed. The large Gran Gioia SE sounds absolutely best with (Single Ended) tube amplifiers, but the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 can also work excellently with good transistor amplifiers. And these don't even have to be super powerful amplifiers. Because of the 95dB efficiency of the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10, these can also be small amplifiers. 2 x 10 Watts is already quite a lot for the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10. However, you must connect a very good amplifier to the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 because the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 reveals everything. The 3D imaging of the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 is also striking. The Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 has almost the same high imaging precision as that of, for example, a Magico S3 Mk2, or Avalon Indra, or for example the Wilson Sasha. But in one aspect the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 certainly outshines the competition, and that is the naturalness of the reproduction. And we're not just talking about the 3D imaging, or depth in the sound, but also certainly the dynamic reproduction. Listen to fine jazz music, and you hear a drum kit, like a drum kit should sound. Then the competition is silent. The bass reproduction is also remarkable. The Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 does not sound fat and heavy, but rather fast and airy in the low end. A double bass, for example, sounds clearly more detailed on the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10 than the competition. We are enthusiastic about the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia 2x10, that is clear, and we invite you to come listen to it at our store.
