Blumenhofer FS-1 MK1, 2-Way Horn Loudspeaker, 96dB : Sold

Blumenhofer FS-1 MK1

EN.

This is the Blumenhofer FS-1. An exceptionally well-manufactured and sounding 2-way loudspeaker with very high efficiency. This is the most advanced MK1 version, with its beautifully crafted adjustment mechanism for the midrange/tweeter unit. This valuable adjustment mechanism is no longer found on the MK2 version. This unit is fully phase-adjustable by moving it forward and backward with millimeter precision, and the vertical radiation is also infinitely adjustable. Combined with the jumpers for -1dB and -2dB for the mid/high unit, and the impedance correction for possible use with low-power tube amplifiers, this substantial loudspeaker is suitable for very many listening rooms and hi-fi systems. The Blumenhofer FS-1 is a 2-way system where everything below 850Hz is reproduced by a very large and expensive 38cm TAD woofer. This unit is truly extraordinarily good and pure, delivering very clean deep bass and midrange. The entire midrange and treble are reproduced by a horn unit made by Blumenhofer. This horn unit is one of the few horn units on the market that doesn't sound like a horn unit. Free from annoying horn coloration. The driver that reproduces the entire midrange and treble is an expensive 75mm titanium driver. The cabinet itself is made of 25mm birchply and the front is even 50mm thick. The entire Blumenhofer FS-1 MK1 weighs a substantial 80 kg. Underneath the cabinet is a steel Aktyna frame with A.R.I.S. feet. Easy to place and if necessary to move. The connection itself is a biwire input made of Gold Plated Tellurium Copper. Thanks to the high efficiency of 96dB in both treble and bass, you can drive the Blumenhofer with relatively low-power amplifiers. By all means connect a very good amplifier, as the resolution of this Blumenhofer FS-1 is extremely high. You truly hear everything. The Blumenhofer FS-1 has an enormous soundstage size that you wouldn't expect from a semi-horn system. The bass is dry, pure and beautifully deep, and absolutely free from unwanted sounds. No ported bass here, but a naturalness that is rare. The midrange and treble are simply exceptionally transparent, crystal clear and dynamic. Poor recordings suddenly don't seem so dull. The Blumenhofer FS-1 simply sounds very musical and very coherent, but above all it is very enjoyable to listen to. The Blumenhofer FS-1 MK1 makes music listening simply a joy, and that is what it's all about. This pair of Blumenhofer FS-1 MK1 speakers is in excellent condition and can now be auditioned at Ohm-Audio bv.
