I visited SE Musiclab in Wabern on 20th Feb in a small group of 6. Extremely impressive. The sound is totally immersive and completely reproduces the soundspace of the mix. It really shows the differences in 3D mixes. Some classical mixes are 'realistic', giving an illusion of sitting in a...

Stenheims are known for high sensitivity and being a benign load on amplifiers (see attached links).

I have noticed that my unit seems to sound significantly better connected via my Neukomm CDA126S preamp than connected directly to the Neukomm PA18 Monoblocs. Now...
