Stenheim Alumine Three
Stenheim will these days present their new "compact" speaker Alumine Three. Knowing Jean Pascal and hearing Alumine two and five I have no doubt this will be a bingo one...

Re: Stenheim Alumine Three
Indeed, I think it looks very very interesting. Unfortunately slightly out of budget for myself, but still very nice. I hope to hear it in Munich in May.
A bit confusing to call it "Three" when they already had the "3 Way" in the product line, and it's often called just Three.Speakers: Kroma Thais. Amplifier: Ypsilon Phaethon. Digital: LampizatOr Baltic 3, Lumin U1 Mini. Analog: MoFi Ultradeck, PS Audio Stellar Phono.

Re: Stenheim Alumine Three
I have heard the Alumine 5 at a dealer where the room in my memory is 6-7 meter long and 4 meter wide , they was placed on the short wall and doing very good. That room is also treated acoustically , so even with the one af the long sides being windows it still plays really good.

Re: Stenheim Alumine Three
From AVNirvana forum:
"AXPONA is off to a strong start. One of the first rooms I hit up with my fellow AV NIRVANA-ers was the Fidelis room, where they were exhibiting their Stenheim Speakers. Stenheim is a high end swiss speaker brand of speakers that I've heard a few times before. This time arauond I was able to take a listen to both the New Alumine 3 and existing Alumine Two speakers.
Alumine Three Tower speaker
Alumine Two Bookshelf
What surprised me was how good these sounded. I've been a fan of their industrial design for some time, but not had a time to hear many of their speakers. The Alumine Two, their entry level speaker, was especially nice sounding for its compact size. Notably throwing a wide and believable soundstage. I found them both tonaly neutral, which was nice to hear."NORMAN

"OMG, it's music" is the first thing I wrote down in this room. "So much of what I've missed at this show is here."

Re: Stenheim Alumine Three
Swedish price of the Three is about 44% of the price of the Five, maybe that can give you an idea in search for the more exact price. Originally Posted by KeithR

I'm curious what the differences between Magico, YG, and Stenheim is in aluminum speaker-land. I'm well familiar with the first two.Brinkmann Bardo w/ EMT HSD-006 cart, MSB Reference DAC --> Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL --> Ampzilla 2000, 2nd Edition --> Fyne Audio F1-12

Stenheim Alumine Three
Two are sealed. One is ported. Au materials are just half the battle. Stenheim sounds great and is super efficient. But like any ported speaker (except maybe downward ported like Salon 2’s), they need room to breath. Originally Posted by KeithR

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
