Firewall for Loudspeakers: Next level. Fantastic.

Dear esteemed Customers,

Recently, a new video review was published about our Blue Moon award-winning Firewall for Loudspeakers signal conditioner.


LessLoss

The german language online review magazine Hören und Fühlen had this to say about our Firewall for Loudspeakers.

"You can really hear the effect that it has on loudspeakers immediately."

"I have tried the firewalls with tube amps, and solid state amps. I tried them with full range speakers, high efficiency speakers, horn-based speakers, classical dynamical two and three way speakers and with my Rogers LS 3/5. The effect of the Firewalls is always perceptible."

"There's no question about whether this might be self-delusion or wishful thinking."

"You hear the effects immediately."

"The music gains a peacefulness without becoming damped."

"It's not as though you're sitting in a room and try to damp it out with curtains, damping material, that sort of thing."

"On the contrary, you gain clarity through peacefulness."

"Bass is for sure more precise and I'd say springy."

"It's extremely audible that acoustic bass becomes more differentiated, and extremely more colorful and impactful."

"This is not something that is added to the signal, but it really comes from the absence of distorting impulses. This is how I perceive it audibly, because it was immediately noticeable."

"This is also noticeable in the midrange. It sounds more analogue."

"It sounds more sonorous, without at the same time losing any differentiation between lows and highs."

"So really it's a focussing effect which allows you to hear more than you could hear before."

"So for instance listening to a soprano voice, I get the feeling that that's really a human voice I'm listening to."

"This is by no means wishful thinking. For certain it is not."

"Especially with acoustic instruments, the differentiation increases drastically."

"So let's say, in baroque music, with smaller ensembles, with, say, harpsichord accompaniment, one can really hear the differentiation very well."

"This is all to say that, according to however much noise casts its shadows on the sound, this noise is suddenly removed and it improves the overall resulting performance."

"When you can clearly make out bass and lower mids, this can also have a side-effect that it seems the high frequencies have been lessened, for real musical tones are never made up of just one frequency band. So if we make lower and low-mid frequencies finer, softer, but also more differentiated, this will also seem to influence the high frequencies, as it seems new frequency bands appear."

"Don't worry about the Firewall influencing existing speaker cable influence."

"And the speaker cables, like I said, their sound characteristic is not influenced, it is merely helped by the lack of negative influence in that the signal is cleaned."

"With speakers the effect is the same. With amps as well. I tried tube amps and transistor amps. The effect is exactly the same. You can still hear all the characteristics of each piece of gear."

"I switched back and forth several times between transistor and tube amps. The Firewall did not influence their individual characteristics."

"Instantly recognizable, obviously better, more colorful bass."

"The changes are definitely there and you can hear them."

"Certainly you should really test these."

"You hear it instantly."

"Is it always a positive change? Yes, I would say so."

"For many, this can be a real eye-opener, especially when you consider your system to already be well balanced and mature, these will take it to the next level. Fantastic."
