Berlin R named as one of top 7 finest sounding loudspeakers in the World along with Living Voice's Vox Olympian and Magico's S7. Audio Lifestyle Magazine 2015
BERLIN 1887 is the perfect amalgamation of the original Berlin R, and the Berlin R Mk-II.
What owner's of BERLIN Horns are saying...
I have never heard more amazing vocal reproductions. July London, Nat King Cole, Patricia Barber, Holly Cole, Nick Drake, Diana Washington, Billie Holiday, I can go on and on…it’s kind of spooky…
I honestly believe my modest setup at home with the Berlin R's was better than Anything I heard at the show...
Even before emanating a sound, the horns of the Berlin R’s instill confidence in the listener that only a master craftsman of instruments could have so beautifully turned the particularly deep throat, which flows organically into a logarithmically expanding mouth...
It’s interesting, every time I listen to them, it almost like a new speaker…last night played some bass heavy music, Dead Can Dance, Leonard Cohen, etc…the low end is amazing. So tight, deep and clean...
The sound of Berlin R Mk-II borders on being ethereal...
The speakers completely disappear as a source of music, and the soundstage is simply amazing. I can’t describe it, but I think subtle ambient musical cues, which are masked by most speakers, are now coming through as the musicians and recording engineers intended...
Yesterday I thought I was going into cardiac arrest when I finally got to see and to touch the first Berlin speaker. The overall quality and look of the speaker almost defies description...
Aesthetics aside, the sound emanating from these loudspeakers is the most detailed, impactful and pleasing I have ever heard — by far...
WOW!!
Thank you for the privilege of hearing a truly phenomenal system. It seems able to provide everything encoded on the disc in a way that takes a back seat to nothing; and with consummate ease and spooky resolution...
They have the largest image of sound I’ve ever heard from a loudspeaker! And they are one of the most open and transparent speakers I have ever heard...
The Berlin R speakers provide an extraordinarily precise sound stage from which the listener can visualize the exact placement of every instrument or voice on any given recording...
I’ll only briefly mention my own “unofficial” technical interpretation as to why the horns of the Berlin R’s perform so impeccably while other horns often add their own distinct “color” or “character”...
Berlin R = Just a superb soundstage and holographic imaging combined with outstanding clarity, resolution, detail, drive, extension, balance... etc, etc, etc...
Absolutely amazing and at, or above, the best these ears have ever heard...
Berlin R’s really allow you to hear every micro detail…from singers taking a breath to guitar players fingers sliding along the strings and drummers sticks striking cymbals and snare drums with different accents. Again, I want to keep mentioning the decay in cymbals and piano that hangs in the air is unbelievable...
