Munich High End Show 2018

...is anyone here?

The Munich HI END Show hosts the successful specialist trade fair, which sets the tone in Europe in the truest sense of the expression. Some consider it to be the definitive source of audiophiles inspiration...others see it as a business date of the highest priority. And both are right ;)

Loris's OTELLO DIY loudspeaker (HUMBLE HOMEMADE HIFI)

I recently was able to audition a pair of OTELLO speakers, built by my friend Loris…a very compact two-way monitor loudspeaker following a classic form-follows-function design. The drivers are the Scan-Speak D2010-8511 tweeter, one of the best 19mm dome tweeters available. The 15cm mid woofer used for the Otello is also sourced from Scan-Speak and made in Denmark.

The result is simply GREAT, very neutral, well balanced and coherent, with a bass surprisingly good for such a small loudspeaker.

At the end of this little adventure I realized that the ways to get a good sound are many and, for those who are able to approach a DIY project like Loris does, really endless.

Good work and have fun ;)
