The Audio Physic Classic 3 is a premium 2-way bookshelf speaker designed without compromise, incorporating the technical subtleties of Audio Physic's Classic range into a compact enclosure. It features a powerful mid-woofer with a woven glass fiber cone that combines low weight with high internal damping, preventing sound-disrupting partial oscillations. The fixed phase plug reduces compression effects in the mid-range and aids in cooling the magnetic motor. The tweeter features a silk dome positioned in a horn-shaped indentation to subtly adjust sound radiation behavior around the crossover frequency, maintaining a wide, balanced, and precise spatial image even outside the listening sweet spot. The crossover network uses direct-wired audiophile-grade components rather than circuit board design, a feature typically found only in larger speakers. The cabinet is built to the highest standards of German craftsmanship with a slim baffle to minimize unwanted reflections and diffraction issues. Optional Vibration Control Feet are available to decouple the speaker from the floor or furniture, enhancing sound performance. Reviewers praise its sensational bass response, detailed treble without harshness, and excellent soundstaging and imaging capabilities.
