about blumenhofer acoustics
Blumenhofer Acoustics was founded in 1977 by Thomas Blumenhofer and has spent its history on horn-loading as the core engineering principle. The company's designs pair horn-loaded drivers with bass-reflex loading to chase high sensitivity and dynamic ease, the trade-off being cabinets and crossovers that are built and voiced largely by hand rather than mass-produced. The current lineup is organized into named series: the flagship Genuin line (including models such as the FS-2 and FS-3), the Tempesta range, and the more compact Mini series, spanning large floorstanding horns down to smaller rooms. The high-sensitivity character makes the line a natural pairing for low-power tube amplification, which is the system context most of its dealers and reviewers present it in. In the US horn-speaker niche Blumenhofer competes with brands like Avantgarde Acoustic and other European horn specialists. North American distribution runs through Alex Sound Technology in Windermere, Florida, with retail through dealers including Aural HiFi. The brand has accumulated a solid review and show-coverage record — Stereophile AXPONA reports, plus reviews at 6moons and The Ear — across the Genuin, Tempesta, and Mini lines. Research and production are based in Walkertshofen, in a nature park near Munich, Germany.
