Party at Ramy's !
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!

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 Ive yet heard in my room. Not too shabby. |
I've got two rooms reserved for RMAF so far, and I may be showing up with a GP Unicorn for one of them. This is a 1-way loudspeaker using a Carbon DDD in a special bass horn. I expect we'll get response from the low 30's through 24kHz from that single, point-source, omni driver. We'll probably give it 25 watts of Vitus power (model SS-010, pure Class-A, zero feedback, single output device per channel) and feed it from the new Vitus SCD-010 CD player. The other room ... haven't decided what we'll put in there yet. |
