Dimensions
105 x 16,1 x 39 cm, weight approx. 25 kg per piece (depending on version and wood)
Adjustable bass level by increments of 2.5 dB (total range of 7.5 dB), achieved by means of an ultra-high quality, custom-made autoformer.
Custom-made 16 Ohms wood cone bass-midrange driver with paper (!) voice coil former. The voice coil former material’s sonic importance is generally greatly underrated: Paper sounds more natural and uncolored than any other material otherwise used.

Bass
94/100
Large side-firing 10" woofers and adjustable autoformer jumpers yield deep, taut, highly articulated bass. Reviewers noted excellent slam and low-end authority with room-sensitive setup; not described as overly warm but very controlled and revealing (Audiokey, 6Moons).
Mid
96/100
Consistently praised for immediacy, vocal presence and timbral accuracy. Reviews remark on lush acoustic guitars, detailed reverb tails and extremely low distortion giving outstanding midrange clarity and coherence.
Treble
95/100
Treble is refined with strong texture and decay detail; reviewers described outstanding cello/violin timbre and brilliant decays without harshness. Ambient rear tweeter contributes to air and resolution.
Soundstage Imaging
97/100
Multiple reviewers report gargantuan, highly immersive soundstaging with pinpoint images and excellent layering. Imaging stability and sense of space were repeatedly highlighted as signature strengths.
Dynamics
94/100
Strong micro and macro dynamics: orchestral weight, excellent layering and responsive slam. Reviewers noted dynamic contrasts and immediacy, with good headroom when properly partnered and placed.

Build Quality
95/100
High level of internal engineering and cabinetry attention (chambers, isolation, routing). Boenicke's modular Firewall option and quality driver complement underline premium construction and thoughtful engineering.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive tower baseline applied. Speaker includes adjustable bass via custom autoformer jumpers and an optional modular Firewall accessory; features acknowledged but score bounded to passive baseline (per rules).
Value for Money
72/100
Exceptional performance but at a very high price (reviewed retail shown ~€20k and product data lists 33000). Reviewers praise capability but price and required system/room tweaks reduce broad value proposition.
