Boenicke – W5

2909.690

At Headphone Auditions it is all about getting the Music back into your life and in your home!

The strategy of getting past the home owner commission (=wife) of the W5 is to double as a headphone stand!

A headphone stand that come in pairs (which is good) and which sound amazing all on their own!

Description

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.

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.
