The main selling point of Göbel speaker is its ultimate coherence over a wide bandwidth. It should perform extremely well in a domesticated home environment than a large hall. Low sensitivity and inadequate SPL in a large room are the only downside. For classical music lover, this speaker is the closest to the real thing in a near field setup. Then we don't have SPL issue. For people who like to rock the room with earthquake bass impact, the Wilson and Magico do a better job for sure.
Positioning of Gobel speaker could make or break the overall performance. It can't be placed too far apart horizontally. It needs to be closer to the back wall to assist the bass. It is better to sit closer to the speaker. Then it is a hell of an goosebump experience. The amp matters because it is extremely difficult to drive particularly when ohm drops to 1.5 at 170hz stated on the website.
Very interesting speaker, but never heard before. Sound like it suits HK's tight environment pretty well, but more demanding in power amp selection. Anyone had experience who can share the consideration that was put into choosing horn speaker vs this high tech looking speaker?

Your speakers will be leaving Germany next week! The white/silver is gorgeous. This is the first time I have ever seen gobel speakers in this finish.
I am fine with lending mine for demo at AE as I will be traveling to Europe for vacation for 2 weeks.
