German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted

I would like to hear from folks that either own or have heard any of the German Physiks Speakers,
preferably the Carbon or Borderland.Both being MK 4 versions with the latest triple D drivers.

I have either one of these unique speakers near the top of my short list but with too many unknowns with a speaker this expensive,I will probably have to make a trip to see Larry owner of Distinctive Stereo and get a good look and demo.

The HRS-120 might be a candidate also at a lesser price point.

Kenny.

@kdude66,

I have only heard them at shows and they have certainly been at every show I’ve ever attended. Strangely, I have heard them sound so incredibly good, amongst the best sound I’ve heard and then I’ve also heard them sound really just so so at different times. Once in the same setup I heard them sound very sweet with a good vinyl setup and they switched to digital with lesser material. It then sounded like crap.

I would imagine they are more room sensitive than most other loudspeakers.

I would think are less room sensitive than most speakers? Also less listening spot fussy....Interesting.

^Interesting indeed. I would agree with you for the low frequencies.

They have a huge sweet spot and sound best out tword the middle of the room or at least away from walls. I own the much less expensive Decware ERRx radial speakers and they sound best this way also.
