Pros
Rich, smooth and remarkably palpable vocal midrange, especially effective with acoustic and live recordings.
Fast, lively dynamics with tight, punchy bass and excellent transient precision.
Large, convincing three-dimensional soundstage when correctly positioned.
Horn treble combines clarity and detail with a presentation that remains smooth rather than aggressive.
Cons
Bass prioritises speed and definition over seismic depth and low-end weight.
Careful room placement, toe-in and horn time alignment are important to achieve the best bass balance and soundstage.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 93/100
The Genuin FS 3 MK 2 is described as an unusually immediate, colourful and involving horn speaker, particularly persuasive with acoustic music, voices and intimate live recordings. Its strengths are vivid midrange presence, a spacious three-dimensional presentation, and fast, energetic delivery; careful room placement is important for getting the bass balance and soundstage right.
Bass
89/100
Soundnews found the bass fast, tight and punchy, with an appealing sense of lightness and immediate response. It is not presented as seismic or earth-shaking, and the reviewer stresses that placement is needed to keep bass well-defined rather than overwhelming.
Mid
95/100
The midrange is identified as a major strength. Voices are described as rich, smooth, colourful without sounding artificially coloured, and remarkably palpable, making the speaker especially compelling with vocals and acoustic material.
Treble
93/100
The horn’s clarity and speed are said to bring excellent precision and plentiful sensory detail. Importantly, the presentation was never found aggressive or rough, suggesting refinement alongside its explicit, lively character.
Soundstage Imaging
95/100
When correctly positioned, the FS 3 MK 2 is said to produce exceptional spaciousness and a large, convincing three-dimensional stage. Images and performers appeared clearly behind the speaker line, with spectacular presence from singers and musicians.
Dynamics
94/100
The review repeatedly characterises the speaker as lively, energetic, fast and immediate. It delivers a satisfying punch and strong differentiation in transients, favouring speed and musical momentum over subterranean low-frequency weight.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
89/100
Soundnews calls the level of finish beyond reproach. The published specification also describes a substantial birch-plywood cabinet with internal bracing, adjustable spikes and premium copper terminals, though the review offers limited detail on long-term durability.
Value for Money
85/100
The supplied product information lists a price of €11,900, while the review refers to approximately €9,500. The reviewer clearly likes the speaker but does not directly assess whether it represents strong value against competing floorstanders at either price.

Manufacturer's Description — Blumenhofer Acoustics
Our classic reborn. Now with 10in-25cm woofer and harmonic construction. /lang
After 10 years our Genuin FS 3 needed overhauling: it was missing the new technologies. We wanted to introduce the harmonic constructions, and… our new driver.The Genuin FS 3 MK 2 now bears much bigger components, we developed extra for it a new 10" - 25cm paper woofer and the compression driver shows as well new membranes and a brand new horn, developed on purposes to match the compression driver behind it and the bigger woofer.It is faster, it goes deeper, it is even more friendly to all kind of power amplifiers. In our workshop we can offer true-wood veneers.Wood is a natural product and depending on several factors might have different color and structure. Color and structure variations of the surface are not to be considered flaws.
