Boenicke

Boenicke Audio was founded in 1999. In today’s hifi market with an overwhelming number of brands (some say 20,000 worldwide!), we’ve scrutinized each of our products, asking ourselves, “does anyone really need this?” So Boenicke Audio has grown slowly and organically, not focusing on the number of units to be sold but rather on the quality and relevancy of our products.
As many loudspeakers as there are in the world, they can roughly be broken down into three main categories. The first is the loudspeaker that has been “invented” time and time again: a bass-reflex box made from MDF with foam dampen- ing, a dome tweeter, one or two cone-drivers on the perpen- dicular front baffle, plastic (lacquer) coating, mount spikes, and a standard crossover network.
Many “big” loudspeaker manufacturers don’t even have
real in house skill anymore, but have their models designed by third parties who don’t have a true emotional link to the finished product. This is a fact, and we think that it might be one of the main reasons why the hifi product market seems to have become so impersonal.
This tired, passionless method of creation leads to a world where the retail value of a product is perceived as paramount. In this world it’s more about buying and selling (and this is only possible if 99% of all gear is exchangeable) than about finding a really good product and keeping it for many years of pleasure and excitement.
