German Physiks - A huge "wow"


I just wanted to share with my fellow audiophiles my adoration for a pair of German Physik Carbon mkIV I recently purchased. I am not a dealer or distributor, just a consumer/audiophile.

I have owned many of the finest speakers we are all aware of, and most have been excellent.

What I am hearing from the German Physiks is a cohesiveness/continuousness that I have never heard from any other loudspeaker. Imaging is excellent but not "razor sharp"..just natural like a live performance.
As if you painted a soundstage from speaker to speaker with a single stroke of your brush.

Detail and transparency are included, without the slightest
hint of etchiness or fatige; Image stability with a large "sweetspot". I just received them on Saturday and my significant other had to pry me away for meals...I best be careful!

These speakers and this line are too fine to be ignored. However, they are expensive, especially with our terribly weak dollar...I feel fortunate that I was able to make the purchase.

I would urge all to have a listen if possible, even if out of your price range. After 23 years as an audiophile, I didn't believe I could be totally surprised and bowled over by the presentation of any new loudspeaker....I was wrong.

Good listening to all and stay well!

Musicdesign, Wow. I can only imagine how good that sounds. I'd love to hear that rig. Enjoy!
I have been listening to my German Physics surround system ,main Loreley ,center Borderland, and rear are the Legatos, for the past 5 years. For the first time in fifty years as an audiophile I can enjoy listening to large scale symphonic music ,nothing I have heard can even come close. Details of my system can be seen on virtual systems.
The HRS-120 is not overboard on pricing - starting at $19,495.00/pr for the fine grain veneer version. It's almost full-range. In a moderate room it will give you 30Hz to 21.5kHz. It's not chump-change, but then again I don't think there's anything else that could possibly touch it at anywhere near the price.

Of course, I am biased ... ;-) since I distribute GP in North America. Still - I'd never have taken the risk of bringing something like this into the stable if it weren't phenomenal.

Jeff Fritz did a little review on the HRS-120 HERE where he had lots of nice things to say about them:

They produced the most expansive, most three-dimensional soundstage I’ve yet heard in my room.

The sound was melt-the-walls-away wide and deep. The result was that the speakers truly "disappeared" from the music, leaving behind only some of the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.

The HRS 120s kept a stable image even when I listened a couple of feet or more off axis.

What I instead heard was bass that was reasonably extended ... with good speed and integration.

The HRS 120s could flat-out rock when called on to do so.

Germans Physiks loudspeakers have something unique: their sound. The Dick Dipole Driver, now virtually perfected, has been put to good use in the HRS 120, where it produces a sound that is quite marvelous -- I loved listening to these speakers.

You might just fall in love with them. If you do, I can just about guarantee that you’ll be the first on your block to have a set, and that your audiophile friends will gawk in amazement when they first hear them.

Not too shabby.
