The first evolution of the Boenicke Audio W8 Standard Version incorporates additional engineering elements exclusive to the Swiss brand and intended to further refine the philosophy of its creator, Sven Boenicke, when he talks about the connection between his products and his deep passion for music: “I may have spent more time in concert halls recording music than most speaker manufacturers. Wherever I go, the sound of real instruments is with me. In my memory, in my body, and I promise you can hear it in our products.” The W8 SE Version is, like the base model, a sophisticated three-speaker, three-way speaker that, starting from Boenicke Audio 's characteristic natural-shaped enclosure with computer-optimized internal labyrinth, incorporates unique solutions that make it a different product. Thus, the woofer used has been designed for large displacements and, despite its modest 165 mm diameter, it is tuned to 28 Hz and is not filtered, an unequivocal symbol of its extreme quality. Also the midrange speaker, equipped with a 102 mm diameter paper cone, has been custom made following the demanding specifications of Boenicke Audio , while incorporating one of the brand's exclusive parallel electromechanical resonators. Likewise, it includes a first-order low-pass filter although not a high-pass filter, to which exclusive elements are added to optimize its key parameters. Also worth highlighting in the W8 SE Version is the use of a 75 mm diameter wide-bandwidth tweeter, as well as the presence of Bybee's highly imaginative “Quantum Purifiers” and a circuit specifically designed to linearize the curve. phase response.
