An advanced version of the W13 Standard Version, the W13 SE Version is an imposing and elegant column that, like the rest of the Swiss brand's models, faithfully reflects the philosophy of its creator, Sven Boenicke, when he talks about the connection between its products and his deep passion for music: “He 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 W13 SE Version is a highly sophisticated three-speaker, three-way speaker that, starting from Boenicke Audio 's characteristic natural, computer-optimized internal labyrinth enclosure, incorporates a series of unique solutions that make it a product simply from another galaxy. This is the case of the bass subsystem, made up of two woofers with a 330 mm diameter cone that have been designed for large displacements. In turn, both transducers are driven by a 2 x 350 watt Class D amplification module managed by DSP with 4 user preselections to optimize integration in any room. Also the midrange speaker, equipped with a 152 mm diameter wooden cone, has been custom made following the brand's demanding specifications, while incorporating one of the Swiss firm's exclusive parallel electromechanical resonators. 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. The W13 SE Version is completed with a 75 mm diameter wide-bandwidth tweeter with a high-pass filter, combined with one of the Swiss firm's exclusive parallel electromechanical resonators. Of the W13 SE Version we must also highlight the presence of the highly imaginative “Quantum Purifiers” from Bybee, a circuit specifically designed to linearize the phase response curve and the unique SwingBase rear feet from Boenicke Audio .
