Testauszüge:
“To say that the W5 blew our minds would be putting it criminally mild…”
Srajan Ebaen, 6moons.com
Long story short, the unique W5s are the best monitors I’ve had the pleasure of familiarizing myself with thus far…”
David Grzyb, hifiknights.com
”…With a suitable amplifier and room placement, a pair of W5 SEs do the ”disappearing act” in a way I’ve probably never experienced before…
…The laws of physics can not be bypassed, even with as clever solutions like the W5s have built-in, but if the room is not a hall, the amp is not a flea powered one, the music not for the head banging and the thickness of the wallet not an issue, then here you have a pair of small loudspeakers sounding more than good and big enough to be taken seriously even as a part of first rank systems…”

Review in Finnish
“Quite simply the most stunning pair of bookshelf speakers we have heard – be prepared to be amazed.”
John Roberts, Midland Audio Exchange
“…Kein Lautsprecher erinnerte uns mehran ein edles Instrument als an ein Industrieprodukt als die supereleganten Konstruktionen von Sven Boenicke…”
Ingo Schulz, Fidelity-Magazin
“There might be quite few people out there being reserved and sceptical about the actual potency of W5 based on their size. Yet, upon first few notes strike things change dramatically…”
Matej Isak, monoandstereo.com
“Oh my God… The W5SE is magic! They produce more, wider, deeper than speakers 10 times bigger and 3 times as expensive. The deep powerful and realistic bass should be physically impossible. Charlie Haden was in my living room today, the same happened with Gene Ammonds. I have just experienced Swiss happiness in a box, and i’m emotionally shaken and just moved to tears…
Thomas Helleland Homme, Norway
“Hence my ode to joy opener…”
Srajan Ebaen on the W5SE, 6moons.com
…Und nach 15 Minuten sitzt man einfach nur noch ergriffen und mit geschlossenen Augen vor diesen Wunderwerken und will nie, nie wieder aufhören, Musik zu hören… Was mich immer wieder zum Schwärmen und Schliessen meiner Augen verleitet, ist die unglaubliche Räumlichkeit dieser Lautsprecher und die damit einhergehende Transparenz und Durchhörbarkeit, die insbesondere akustische Instrumente in einer Präsent auf die Bühne zaubert, die ihresgleichen sucht – fast unabhängig vom Preis…
Michael Bruss, HiFi Lautsprecher Test Jahrbuch
“…was ich besonders faszinierend finde: Wie sich Stimmen im Raum materialisieren.
Oft fügt der Eigenklang der Gehäuse den Stimmen ein Volumen zu, das sie nie hatten.
Der Mann wird zum Godzilla, die Frau zur Überamazone.
Hier stehen die Leute fast schon magisch im Raum. Sehr faszinierend.”
