Boenicke Audio W8SE+ Top Boenicke

The Boenicke W8SE+ (this one in ash) is a true reference speaker that measures down to 28hz in our room...tremendous bass from a small package.  It is also the tops in WAF. This one is in near new condition.  The client who purchased it is moving up the Boenicke ladder.  A great review of the entry model is to be found in audio addiction.  It concludes with this

'There are many speaker manufacturers out there.  More than I dare even think about.  Some will push the measured performance of the speaker to the limits of technology.  Yet when I sit and listen on a superficial basis I can say that yes I believe they sound true to the source.  This doesn’t mean that I can actually feel it in the same way as being at the live event.  It is one thing to hear it, it’s a completely different story to feel it.  If you visit the Boenicke website you may read a quote from Sven that reads “Perhaps I have spent more time in concert halls recording live music than most other loudspeaker manufacturers.   Wherever I go, the tone of real instruments is with me.  In my memory, in my body – and I promise you can hear it in our products.”

Maybe in some subconscious way Sven Boenicke goes beyond just hearing the live event.  Maybe he has found a way to replicate the way a live event feels.  The Boenicke W8 not only sound true to the live event, they feel it.'
