About the Loreley III
The Loreley Mk III by German Physiks is designed to deliver a concert-like experience with its unique omnidirectional DDD drivers that provide 360° surround radiation. It features four carbon fibre DDD drivers for mid and high frequencies, two 12-inch woofers, and four 10-inch passive radiators for deep bass reproduction. The speaker is bi-amped using an active crossover, requiring two power amplifiers per channel, one for the DDD drivers and one for the woofers. It offers precise tonal adjustments with high and low frequency controls and is capable of reproducing sound levels up to 120dB, allowing realistic live music dynamics. The cabinet dimensions are 700mm wide, 1800mm high, and 1000mm deep, weighing approximately 420kg. It comes with a 5-year warranty and multiple finish options including satin or high polish veneer, polyester black or white, satin or high polish paint, and carbon fibre. The Loreley Mk III is handmade in Germany and represents a smaller, more affordable alternative to the flagship Gaudi model while maintaining exceptional sound quality and detail.
