I am not certain if you already acquired a pair of speakers but I can give you my experience on GP. I own several GP speakers (since 2009), including Borderland and 120. Obviously Borderland is more extended and IMHO, one of the best speakers ever made. My favorite is the Unicorn even though does not have the lows of the Borderland. All three models are recommended with no hesitation. They have natural voicing, excellent presentation, able to play large symphonies and keep rhythm well. Also, they handle high volume and peaks without stress or distortion. Amplification used is FM acoustics, Vitus Audio and Concert Fidelity. I hope it helps in your decision making.
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
I would like to hear from folks that either own or have heard any of the German Physiks Speakers,
preferably the Carbon or Borderland.Both being MK 4 versions with the latest triple D drivers.
I have either one of these unique speakers near the top of my short list but with too many unknowns with a speaker this expensive,I will probably have to make a trip to see Larry owner of Distinctive Stereo and get a good look and demo.
The HRS-120 might be a candidate also at a lesser price point.

I have been a German Physiks satisfied owner for the last 15 years and due to my corporate career I had 5 residences in the US, Europe and the Middle East, thus I owned multiple pairs. I just retired and have consolidated everything in the US. I believe that German Physiks are unique designs and the people that own them, many musicians and conductors as well, keep them for life. For most people is a destination speaker. I have made some videos on my YouTube channel to provide an idea on their sound. Please use headphones for better results. I am currently in discussion with German Physiks to become their distributor in the US. If you are in Dallas, I will be happy to have a coffee with you and listen to music. In the links below I have recorded some tracks on the PQS-302 and HRS-120 with two different set ups. The first with Ypsilon Electronics Phaethon integrated amplifier and the second with German Physiks' own Emperor Stereo Power amplifier. Phaethon is a hybrid amp and the German Physiks is SS. They also play well with tubes provided the amp is stable at 2.5-4 Ohm load.

All recordings are done in my listening room with an iPhone 13 from the listening position. Enjoy. |
