RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5


I spent quite awhile in the Boenicke/Sotm room at the show and was quite taken aback on how musically engaging the W5's were. They ooze a musical timbre that was simply stunning. Considering how diminutive they are (no bigger than PC speakers) they produce a big sound stage. To my ears they are a true Hi-Fi bargain at a paltry $3600 a pair when they are compared to some speakers that cost many times  more and are not in the same league as these miniature mighty marvels. There were a few speakers at the show that nearly made my ears bleed and my wallet to hide........

Anything float your boat at this years show?

I also was very impressed with the Boenicke’s. I was very shocked to hear that much quality sound coming from these small speakers. Another company I was unfamiliar with, but was a stand out for the price was Margules. They had a $12k speaker that was fantastic for the money.  In that same range I thought the Focal Sopra 2, Legacy Focus SE and Marten Django L were excellent. My higher dollar favorites from the show were the Magico M3, Rockport Cygnus and with a somewhat lower price, the Tidal Piano Diacera G2.
