We discontinue the Genuin FS 5

Genuin FS 5, the first bookshelf in the Genuin serie, horn for the mid-high and bass reflex woofer.
We originally did not expect a success for this loudspeaker, but sold quite well.
We just decided to discontinue it, because the Tempesta 17 bookshelf delivered the same quality at a much reasonable price

Munich High End 2013

This year we did not participate directly to the Munich High End. But our products were present. On the stand of STS Digital, Fritz de With used a Fun 13 to present Groove into Bits Vol. 2. We had our normal events during the whole week and the beginning of the week after. It was good, and the work was not less than exposing in the Munich High End, but not the same.

Groove into Bits Vol. 2 comes to the market

On the first day of the Munich High End Fritz de With of STS Digital presented us the Groove into Bits CD Vol. 2.
The CD presents good pieces of music. In the first issue there has been an error on the cover that will be corrected in the reissues of the CD. One song, the one of Bob Dylan, due to rights problems, did not manage to get into the final release of the CD, but it is still in our hearts. Maybe we will be able to add it in the next Groove into Bits.

We introduce the Tempesta series

After a longer development time in a cooperation with our new american partner, the Tempesta series has the right to come to the market. It has been a longer effort to get this series of product mature. Aimed at Home cinema, with a stronger attention on music reproduction.
For the time being the whole series consists of:

- 3 main loudspeakers:
Tempesta 20
Tempesta 17
Tempesta 17 Bookshelf
- 3 Centers:
Center 15
Center 17
Center 20
- 3 Subwoofers:
Sub 10"
Sub 15"
Sub 21"

We are still working on the surround components.

Event at RitsArt

After the cooperation in the X-Fi Show in Veldhoven, last fall, Marco and Rits decided to make another event together directly in the venues of RitsArt in Maassluis in the Netherlands. During the Event René Visker started to paint the big Fun 17, as Blumenhofer unique editions
Here You can read some more in German.

The setup was composed by:
- Blumenhofer Acoustics Gioia
- Einstein integrated Power Amplifier
- Dr. Feickert Blackbird

They told me that the acoustics was not the best. But the Ambient has been exceptional.

Recordstore Day in Düren

In Düren, at the Record-store, there have been an event focused on music. They concentrated on vinyl (if I understood correctly) and have chosen our loudspeakers to present their music.
It is a very charming compliment.

Shanghai HiFi Expo 2013

The German Chamber of Commerce supported the German industry in the participation to the Shanghai High End Show 2013, they gave us an extraordinary logistic support and a big opportunity to present our products in Shanghai.
It was a long time that we did not go to China and we appreciated the opportunity.

In the end there were 3 rooms playing Blumenhofer Loudspeakers:
- the room of the German chamber of commerce playing a Fun 10 and a Tempesta 17 on the 3rd day
- our room with a Genuin FS 2
- the room of Mr. Amari with the Genuin FS 3 he purchased some years ago

what to say, we are small player, but apparently well appreciated :-)

WSR Sales is our new distributor for USA

It seems like an April's fool. But it is true.
Since longer time we started our cooperation based on the development of certain products to comply with the needs of the American market.
The result is the Tempesta series, complete with Center, Surround and Subwoofers. Still there is some work to do to complete the range, but the product line has born.

The partner of this cooperation was and is Robert Thompson of WSR|Sales.

Now, our new distributor for USA is
