RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5

I spent quite awhile in the Boenicke/Sotm room at the show and was quite taken aback on how musically engaging the W5's were. They ooze a musical timbre that was simply stunning. Considering how diminutive they are (no bigger than PC speakers) they produce a big sound stage. To my ears they are a true Hi-Fi bargain at a paltry $3600 a pair when they are compared to some speakers that cost many times  more and are not in the same league as these miniature mighty marvels. There were a few speakers at the show that nearly made my ears bleed and my wallet to hide........

Anything float your boat at this years show?

First off why are you yelling?  This thread is on the second page so it's been going for a bit.  Where is the other thread?  Many of us don't just look at all the threads to see where there are extras.  Usually once a thread makes two pages, it has a life of it's own.  Just saying.

If you don't like this discussion, please jog on...................

Prices for the larger Boenicke speakers are;
W8  $6800
W11 $9000
W13 $18000.

I am assuming these prices are for 'standard' versions.

ctsooner-Get well soon.

Thanks bless.  Love the name ;)....lol....

I have a lot of Vandersteen friends if you would and a few have mentioned the Boenicke as speakers they would have on their short list a long with the Vandy's.  I'll get to hear them one of these days.  Personally, I can't live without a full range or nearly full range speaker anymore.  Once you have it, you want it.  I'm listening longer than I ever did when I has stand mounts even when they were larger boxes.
