Boenicke W5 SE+ review, amazing sound in a very small package

The Boenicke W5 is a unique loudspeaker. Beautiful and powerful sound in a very small package; only 29cm high, 10cm wide and 23cm deep! They are easily driven and pair great with Linn electronics.

This little beast of a bass driver is capable of 16 mm linear excursion. You have to hear to believe how much punchy bass it can generate from a 2.8 L volume.
Custom-made spring suspension effectively isolates W5 from your desktop, improving midrange lucidity, airiness and distortion figures.
Walk around the speakers and you still get it all: Our miniature ambient tweeter features an excellent off-axis response. For this reason, the W5 has an excellent polar diagram – which is crucial for breathtaking sound staging capabilities.

Premium class WBT Next Gen binding posts.

And last but not least, they are very stylish and will look great in your interior. Choose from walnut, 4 sorts of oak, ash, core ash and cherry.

Enrich your beautiful home with the music system it deserves!

Hifi.be recently published a nice review in Dutch by Werner Ero about this amazing small format speaker in SE+ execution. According to Werner they are the best speaker in its size and can move the most spoiled audiophiles close to tears, regardless of musical taste.
