Blumenhofer Acoustics is a traditional audiophile Loudspeaker manufacturer with more than 30 years experience on horn loudspeakers. Speed, precision, live character, naturalness and richness are the main characteristics of this construction philosophy: ideal for both, home cinema and HiFi stereo
What does it mean “ We don’t care about hifi, we care about music”?
Lot of HiFi producers tend to exaggerate some aspects of music reproduction, so You get full concentration on one single aspect of sorts out of the HiFi chain: You loose focus.
On our side, we always spend time trying to have the best coherence possible between mid high and bass, try to focus on high dynamic behavior using components with lot of reserve and strength. This coherence is not just in kind of sound but as well in speed and impulse, the loudspeakers must be fast, but must have the same speed. Otherwise You get some feeling of delay or mismatch.
Then we want to have long time listening experience, that means being able to listening to music for plenty of hours without rising the feeling of switching off the system due to tiredness. It must play homogeneously. It must deliver the feeling of ease and even at small volumes must be able to deliver full dynamic.
Our reference are not amplified concerts, where the instruments are not going trough a power amplifier or a reproduction system. Of those, we try to have as much enjoyment as possible to be sure to come as near as possible to the reference.

The Membran of the woofer is a new P2C® Sandwich-Membran consisting of 2 Peek® (Victrex) sheets with carbon inlay. Its characteristic is high stiffness and no resonances in the application spectrum.
The compression driver is improved trough a special Blumenhofer treatment. This treatment combined with the wooden horn front is one of the secrets of the natural sound of the Blumenhofers. Extraordinary natural and clear sound
La Tempesta 17 è il nostro punto di partenza per la persona esigente. Coerente con le caratteristiche di una Blumenhofer, condivide il carattere ed il fascino degli altri diffusori. È in grado di entusiasmare sia nell'ascolto musicale che nella visione di un film.
La membrana P2C® del mediobasso è una membrana a sandwich che consiste di 2 strati di Peek® (Victrex) iniettati di carbonio e pressati ad altissime temperature. Le caratteristiche sono la rigidezza e la bassa risonanza nel campo delle frequenze in cui è impiegato.
Il driver di compressione è un ulteriore sviluppo di Blumenhofer. La tromba anteriore è stata integralmente sviluppata su base sperimentale estrema. Questo metodo e la tromba anteriore sono i segreti dell'estrema naturalezza e chiarezza del suono, che non presenta le tipiche caratteristiche del suono di una tromba

Blumenhofer Acoustics Tempesta 20, the classic high performance loudspeaker in a seductive new fashion, in the above picture an a spectacular olive wood real veneer finish. The Blumenhofer loudspeakers company has a very precise target when it comes to pull out new products, or in this case, an almost invisible update of the same. As new materials and technology becames available, those are implemented only in the case of a real improvement and enhancement. Many times it takes years or a decade of constant development of the idea to make a new model, that is, given the extreme high performance of the anterior models, labeled as the MKII or MKIII version. The new Tempesta 20 model is physically lowered by five centimeters, and beside the overall look, it can adopt some enhanced solutions in the crucial crossover department. New materials have been used, which permits a more compact design of the separate crossover chamber, but leaves the overall internal volume and performances untouched. As well, the height and position of the two drivers remains the same, making the new look apparent only to the most analytical eyes, but the integration in the listening ambient is quickly noticeable. With the new materials comes the possibility of the installation of Selected Crossover Components, available on special order for the new units, as well as a possible upgrade of the old version of the loudspeakers. Is it a revolution? No! Is it a substantial upgrade to the next level of music experience? Yes! Shortly, enhanced treble definition, even better integration with the bass driver unit that is more stable and ( by ear) goes a tad deeper and articulated, amazing 3D stage, well behind the loudspeakers, that literally disappears, giving room to the horizontal and vertical development of the space and the music. We hereby recommend the upgrade to all the owners of the previous model. Contact us for the pricing and schedule your appointment.

Genuin FS 3 MK 2
Our classic reborn. Now with 10”- 25cm woofer and harmonic construction.
La rinascita del nostro classico. Adesso con un woofer da 10”- 25cm e costruzione armonica
After 10 years our Genuin FS 3 needed overhauling: it was missing the new technologies. We wanted to introduce the harmonic constructions, and… our new driver.
The Genuin FS 3 MK 2 now bears much bigger components, we developed extra for it a new 10" paper woofer and the compression driver shows as well new membranes and a brand new horn, developed on purposes to match the compression driver behind it and the bigger woofer.
It is faster, it goes deeper, it is even more friendly to all kind of power amplifiers
Dopo circa 10 anni era necessario rivedere il progetto della Genuin FS 3: mancavano le nuove tecnologie. Volevamo introdurre la costruzione armonica ed… il nostro nuovo woofer.
La Genuin FS 3 MK 2 ha componenti molto più grandi. Abbiamo sviluppato un nuovo woofer in carta da 10" - 25cm ed il driver a compressione ha una membrana più grande ed una nuova tromba, sviluppata apposta per abbinarsi al driver ed al nuovo woofer.
È più veloce, va più in basso ed è ancora più adatta a qualunque tipo di amplificatore

Words of the Press:
The bass of the FS 3 is well defined, very dry and highly differentiated.
Socially conscious grooving at late hours thus worked brilliantly and most chores can be readily postponed for the following day, can’t they?
With Blumenhofer’s Genuin FS3 one doesn’t merely acquire a handcrafted piece of furniture made in Germany but an unusually lively dynamic performer of décor-friendly size whose transient/impulse fidelity is accompanied by an exceptionally airy treble and very high effortless resolution.
Great dynamics and jump factor: Rhythmic fare gains in energy. First class.
Even, low levels remain exciting because dynamic contrasts are retained. Nothing goes asleep.
Videohifi.com
The voice is true.
The stage is open and deep.
The sound flows free even in minimal dynamic variations.
The bass is sharp, fast and controlled.
Dynamically these loudspeakers fears nothing, not even the violent Grancassa.
Genuin FS 2 MK 2
Big sound: precision, speed, and depth. Tailored for everyone
Un gran suono: precisione, velocità e profondità. Ottimizzata per ciascuno
The new 12" woofer of the Genuin FS 2 MK 2 has the same technologies as the one implemented the 16" woofer of the Genuin FS 1 MK 3. A powerful AlNiCo magnet moves an exceptional sounding paper membrane. The result is an improved Genuin FS 2 that then deserves the MK 2 tag. Structurally the loudspeaker is the same, has the same dimensions and the same look. The sound has become more rich, the result and the improvements are in the same fields like the improvements on the Genuin FS 1 MK 3: more bass, more deepness and improved richness in the midrange.

* Blumenhofer Acoustics implemented the possibility of an upgrade of the old version of the Genuin FS 2 to the new status MK 2. Please contact us for further informations about the upgrade that consist in sending the loudspeakers in the manufacturer’s workstation. In this case the new Bass Driver will be mounted and a substantial change of some crossower components will be made, resulting in a “de facto” new version of the loudspeaker.
Words of the Press:
Seldom an acoustic guitar has been presented that convincing.
It transfers damn original: such authenticity is rare.
The Genuin FS 2 belongs to the best loudspeakers that ever came to my listening rooms.
High sound pressure possible. But it even at low volume it does not compress the dynamic
The Genuin FS 2 makes incredibly lot simply right.
The fine dynamics capacities of the Genuin FS 2 are state of the art.
Already with 20-Watt power amplifiers, the Genuin FS 2 is able to develop a firework of music.
For friends of tube amplifiers it is a dream come true.
Loudspeakers of this kind are far too seldom, there should be more that extraordinary and attractive
Sitting still in my chair was not an option: the swing in the song moves my whole body and touches my heart.
Suddenly the drum solo arrives and the Blumenhofers go wild with a big, live sound.
No matter what you put into the Genuin FS 2, it will reproduce it with great ease, lots of detail, enthusiasm, a wide open stage and if needed a lot of subtlety. Each instrument is placed on its own spot and sounds the way it should do in its particular setting.
Expectations were high, because of the earlier listening sessions and all I can say is that they were fully met.

Harmonic construction and simplification with a gorgeous 16” woofer
Costruzione armonica e semplificata con un emozionante woofer da 38cm
Harmonic construction and simplification with a gorgeous air dried Blumenhofer own 16” woofer
When our 16" woofer reached maturity, we finally decided to upgrade the Genuin FS 1 to MK 3 level. The look and structure are essentially the same. The changes are in the inside. The new air dried paper membrane is moved by a really powerful Alnico magnet. This brings the mid-bass of our Genuin FS 1 MK 3 to a complete new level of quality. More bass, more deepness, more richness in the midrange
Quando lo sviluppo del nostro woofer da 16" si è concluso, abbiamo anche fatto l'aggiornamento della Genuin FS 1 alla revisione MK 3. L'aspetto e la struttura sono essenzialmente gli stessi. I cambiamenti sono al suo interno. La nuova membrana asciugata ad aria mossa dal potente magnete in AlNiCo portano il livello del medio-basso di questo diffusore ad un nuovo e più alto livello di qualità. Più basso, più profondità e più ricchezza nei medi

ZZ-Top is just spinning their LP “Eliminator” on the turntable - very impressive and beside everything: Great fun!
Finally classic : Gustav Mahler's 2nd Symphony in a DECCA recording from 1966 (180 g new edition from 2002) with the London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Sir Georg Solti. A brilliant sound appears in front of me.
Soprano-Alto parts and mixed choir, flutes, oboes sounds in all their glory, swinging up to the marching pace are presented with great vehemence - just as the picture is.

You can find the full review of the brand new Blumenhofer Genuin FS 1 MK lll here:
SERIE GIOIA Pushing the horns to the limit
The motivation of this series is to push the horn concept to further. The goal is to reach unprecedented and unsurpassed feeling of live music. Absolute dynamic and speed in all the matters of music. Unreasonable phantasies of audiophiles? You may think this, but listening to that will definitely change Your mind.
Il motivo di questa serie estrema è sviluppare il concetto di tromba e riproduzione musicale oltre quanto è stato fatto finora. Percepire la dinamica e la velocità allo stato puro della musica dal vivo. Solo fantasie non razionali? Lo si può pensare, fintanto che non lo si è ascoltato!
Gran Gioia MK 3
The Gran Gioia MK 3, even closer to reality than before
It was time to upgrade the Gran Gioia to the MK 3 version with our own developed 16" woofer.
The result reflects the additional qualities we expected. Our expectations were completely fulfilled and… surpassed.
We make 2 versions of the Gran Gioia MK 3, one version with titanium compression driver for the mid high range horn and one version with a more advanced beryllium based compression driver. The more advanced compression driver permits to have a lower cross over frequency and therefore the field of application of the woofer takes advantage of it as well. The further difference between the two versions is the sliding system of the top horn.
Finalmente abbiamo implementato il nostro woofer da 16" nella Gran Gioia MK 3.
Il risultato ha le qualità aggiuntive che ci aspettavamo. E più, le nostre aspettative sono state raggiunte e superate.
Faremo 2 versioni della Gran Gioia MK 3, una con driver a compressione in titanio; una con il driver a compressione avanzato in Berillio. Il driver in Berillio permette di abbassare la frequenza di incrocio e quindi anche il campo di utilizzo del woofer ne approfitta migliorando ulteriormente le sue doti di riproduzione musicale
The Bass Phase Plug, the new horn throat construction, the further simplification, the new micrometrical regulation of the horn shift. This is about the technological steps further.
In terms of music, each technological step further is a step nearer to reality
La nuova tromba del basso con la nuova flangia, la nuova geometria per la gola della parte medio-alta, l'ulteriore semplificazione, la regolazione micrometrica per l'allineamento temporale. Questi sono i progressi tecnologici.
Per quel che riguarda la musica: ogni progresso in tecnologia è un passo più vicino alla realtà

Gran Gioia 2x10" Coax Bass Horn
Working on a new horn concept to have a smaller full horn loudspeaker, it developed to become a proficient loudspeaker in a certain kind of coaxial configuration: the two woofers working in the same horn mutate to one only loudspeaker. Therefore it is a Coax a 'la Blumenhofer' with a compression driver horn in the middle.
Con l'obiettivo di fare una cassa a tromba di dimensioni contenute siamo arrivati a fare la Gran Gioia 2x10". È un diffusore completo, grazie al face plug nei mediassi ed alla generosa tromba che avvolge i due woofer da 25cm (10") la costruzione equivale ad un diffusore con geometria coassiale. Nel mezzo un driver a compressione con membrana in Titanio.

I bought the Genuin 1 Mk2 at the time because, firstly, it is a good all-rounder and, secondly, it can do a lot more dynamically than conventional loudspeakers in this class. Now the Gran Gioia 2 × 10 stands in front of me, and it's a bit as if the stocky Genuin had pulled herself two lines of coke, stood up, rubbed her hands and asked me with a slightly crazy look: "Shall we get started ?! "
Interesting experience: I hear "Tupelo" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and I was afraid that it will rain on my pants, because at first this storm cloud hovers over my head.

Wiki
Beyond standard dimensions: the concept of "2-ways with horn" reaches its fulfillnes
Al di là delle dimensioni: il concetto di "2-vie con tromba" raggiunge la completezza
Which is the horizon of a 2-Ways Loudspeaker?
We decided to develop something that pushes this horizon beyond imaginable. The concept of horn and 2 way was what we decided to push to the limit. We set ourselves no constraints for dimensions.
There have been several obstacles along this way and the prove that we mastered them is that the name Blumenhofer is on the Wiki.
The highlight of the loudspeaker is its absolute dynamic and finesse in the reproduction. Its complete sound stage and presentation. The feelings that it is able to deliver and evoke
Qual'è l'orizzonte di una diffusore a 2 vie?
Abbiamo deciso di sviluppare qualcosa che ampli in modo inaspettato questo orizzonte. Il progetto di un diffusore a 2 vie caricato a tromba è stato il naturale punto di partenza. Abbiamo deciso di non porci limiti dimensioni.
Ci si sono presentati tanti ostacoli su questo cammino e molti sono stati superati. La prova è che abbiamo messo il nome Blumenhofer su questo diffusore.
Il punto saliente di questo diffusore è la notevolissima dinamica e l'assoluta finezza nella riproduzione. La completezza, il dettaglio e la precisione della sua presentazione musicale. Le sensazioni che è capace di proporre ed evocare

Words of the Press:
Goose bumps on both arms and shivers run down my back.
Bass registers remind me of an angry grizzly bear.
The sound stage is somewhere before you, certainly not coming from a pair of speakers, it feels and sounds like a bunch of speakers and every voice or instrument has its own identifiable position.
The performance is very direct and micro details flow freely from the mouth of the horns. Whichever way you look at the system, it destroys many sacred cows, not just a bit, more like in an earthquake.
Music is no longer reproduced; it is played at the very spot.

CORONA SERIES
Old ideas comes alive
During the first lockdown of the COVID Pandemic, there has been a huge slow down in the external activities. This allowed us more time to procede in developments kept until then in the drawer.
This is the most interesting product that came out of that days. And as tribute to the situation we decided to call it "Corona".
Durante il primo periodo di Lockdown di questa terribile Pandemia, c'è stato un notevole rallentamento di tutte le attività esterne. Questo ci ha permesso di procedere nello sviluppo di alcuni prototipi che fino a quel momento erano al sicuro in un cassetto.
Di tutto quello che è stato iniziato, questo è il prodotto più interessante nato in quei giorni. Come tributo alla situazione abbiamo deciso di chiamarlo "Corona".
Corona 2x220
Compact and powerful front horn
The next step for the Corona Series is to implement in it our 8” woofer, and widen the bass horn in the front. This version is also available with the Beryllium Mid-High Range horn, as option.
Il prossimo passo nella serie Corona è montarci il nostro woofer da 8”, ed ampliare la tromba frontale. Questa versione può montare anche il driver dei medioalti in Berillio, come opzione.

Still a 2-way box. But boosted
Our target was to be able to deliver the Blumenhofer sound in an elegant outfit. Keeping speed, horn and power. Transmitting the goosebumps and the intention of the musician.
All technologies developed in the last years have been implemented in these loudspeakers. The construction is quite complex but highly effective.
Il nostro obiettivo era di poter servire il suono Blumenhofer in una veste elegante. Mantenere la velocità, la tromba e la potenza era nostra priorità. Trasmettere la pelle d'oca e l'intenzione del musicista era il nostro obiettivo.
Tutte le tecnologie che sono state sviluppate negli ultimi anni sono implementate in questi diffusori, la costruzione è complessa ma molto efficace.

Words of the press
Stereoplay.de - Full review
There were the bass: full, stable and extraordinary deep.
The Fun 17 produced an extremely trustworthy holographic total feeling.
Bookshelves
The only bookshelf speakers made for Tubes as well
Easy to hide... but so beautiful that it is a pity not to see them.
The Bookshelves are based on a bass reflex construction ported to the back of the loudspeaker, in order to exploit as much as possible the wall effect.
Facili da nascondere, ma così belli che è un peccato non vederli. Eleganti nell’estrema varietà di legni disponibili.
Hanno un accordo di Bass-Reflex in direzione posteriore per sfruttare al meglio l'effetto parete.

Words of the press
It can work that modestly, that even a triode does not fail at his terminals.
Its sound is involving, living and spacy.
The Mini is a real bomb.
An trustworthy and astonishing illusion.
The stage is simply flabbergasting.
The sound properties are globally really equilibrate.
These are the most complete and surprising among the Minis on the market.

ON WALL Multipurpose, front center surround, just name it
We put our love for music and our experience in the reproduction of music in our home cinema components as well. The surround speakers should describe the sonic ambient to put you in the action instead of being just in front of it. Their task is therefore radically different than the task of the main and center speakers. Therefore there is more freedom of choice for the ideal system, most important thing their dynamic should match the dynamic of the other components. All Surround on Wall loudspeakers are also available as in Wall configuration

BlumenHofer Classic series ”17”
The Blumenhofer Classic speaker-line will come in a serie of 3 models. Starting with our ”Benjamin” which will be known as Model 1722. This is a 2 unit, 2 way system which will need an additional small foot to bring it to the right hight. This model’s bigger brother will be known as Model 1733, a 3 unit 3 way system loudspeaker with a 15 inch bass unit and will only kneel down from the top of the line, Model 1743. This top model is a 4 unit, 3 way system which comes with two 15 inch woofers, one 12 inch midrange and a true horn-tweeter in each cabinet.
