family
Each model in Boenicke Audio’s W family of speakers shares the same intrinsic DNA and construction using only the finest natural components.
The ‘W’ designates solid wood and each model is available in a variety of species like oak, ash, walnut and cherry.
Every speaker cabinet is carefully formed as two individual clam-shell halves whose interiors are routed out by precision CNC cutters before being joined to create the final structure. Regardless of model or cost, the cabinet concept remains unchanged.
W11
The W11 cabinet size gives it real sonic advantages and allows the solid wood's beauty to truly shine.
Crafted for those with larger listening spaces, W11 takes the emotive performance of the W5 / W8 to a new level.
The carbon-fibre honeycomb woofer adds a new bass dimension. Fine adjustments to it can be made to ensure room-tailored performance courtesy of a super high-quality autoformer providing 2.5 dB increments of cut / boost.
The custom wood-cone mid / woofer renders textures in instruments so real that you will reach out to touch what isn't physically present.
W8
The W8 is the first floorstander in the Boenicke Audio range.
You’ll note how the design aspects flow from the little W5 into the side-firing woofer and widebander to which the W8 adds a dedicated midrange and larger ambient tweeter.
The midrange driver is custom and sports an apple tree phase plug and maple cone on the back of the magnet.
Expect deeper and more plentiful bass with the ability to fill most domestic listening spaces.
Listening to the W8 for the first time is finally hearing your favourite musicians as living entities within your listening space and no longer as two-dimensional cut-outs. The magic of individuals playing together to create a performance is laid bare by the W8 as an experience you will enjoy each time you listen.
W5
Standing just 293 mm tall and 104 mm wide, the W5 doesn’t impose itself on any listening space. Once you listen, you’ll be hooked on just how big the little W5 sounds.
Boasting just 2.8 L of cabinet volume, the W5 really shouldn’t fill your listening space with such grace and ease. Punchy bass comes from a driver capable of 18.5 mm of excursion. A liquid and lucid midrange with an accurate top end emanates from our 3’’ widebander made to spec just for Boenicke Audio. The ambient rear tweeter complements the main drive units and augmented by premium silk-wrapped Litz hookup wiring and WBT NextGen binding posts, this is a very grown-up little speaker.
Expect the usual Boenicke soundstaging as breathtaking as any vast landscape, a liquid midrange, accurate tone and harmonics which combine to connect you to your music in a way that defies what you thought possible.
