« The Stenheim Five SE is not just a great speaker; it is one of high-end audio’s greatest speakers. Its ability to generate truly deep, linear, powerful bass, unusually rich and lifelike tone color, near-visible three-dimensional images, and astounding detail and dynamics from such a modest enclosure is not just a surprise; it is one for the ages. »

Is it Real Or Is It Recorded?
Sometimes It’s A Little Of Both…
There’s a long history of ‘real versus recorded’ presentations and advertising in audio. Right back to His Master’s Voice, there have been companies claiming that their reproduced sound is indistinguishable from reality: who can forget that classic tag-line, Is it real or is it Memorex?
Now, in a nice twist on the ‘real versus recorded’ theme, Swiss companies Stenheim and Dartzeel have joined forces with VDM Sound Group (acoustic treatments from Italy) to present a series of ‘live’ events at the Munich Show. Saxophonist Jérôme Sabbagh will be playing tracks from his latest album No Filter – but his backing band will be present via a live recording made in New York and replayed on the Dartzeel/Stenheim system in the room.
Stenheim is very happy to collaborate with Neukomm during the Klangschloss 2022 in Zürich! At this occasion, our loudspeaker Alumine Three will be demonstrated at Neukomm's Master Series!
During his visit to a customer from Liquid Hifi, our official reseller for North Carolina, the journalist Dennis Davis from The Audio Beat magazine was able to discover the incredible Sullivan system, curated and set up by Stirling Trayle of Audio Systems Optimized (ASO) featuring our Alumine Five SE.
“The Alumine FIVE SEs set the bar for high-fidelity incredibly high, whether than be in terms of definition, inexhaustible dynamics, the extraordinary variety of nuances or the realism of the sound stage, but in a perfect fusion of these elements that has almost never been heard before in this format. Taking a completely classic approach, their qualities do justice to the emotion and the natural energy of the music, creating special moments with an extraordinary talent. These indispensable loudspeakers free the musical energy of the very best recordings with panache: they are true prodigies!”
Bruno Castelluzzo, Haute-Fidélité Magazine, 2022

The Alumine Two is in Part Time Audiophile “Best Bookshelf Speakers of the Year" for the second consecutive year !
Please read Roy Gregory, famous The Audio Beat journalist, article describing visit to our factory and his very good impression on Stenheim latest model, the Reference Ultime Two.
Reference Ultime 2 is soft, warm and comfortable, easily bringing out the music listening pleasure, smooth music lines and wide sound field, presenting the natural music expression.
First, the Stenheims' look is living-room, partner, and family-friendly, not audiophile weird. Second, and more importantly, the Alumine Threes are not dreadful-to-drive, low-EPDR speakers that will only work with massive crazy-money monoliths that are capable of driving 2 ohms.
Open day at our official dealer in France! Visit us in Paris from 15 to 17 October 2021 and discover the Alumine Three and Alumine Five.

“The low-frequency control is excellent, and the cleanliness is unimaginable. The overall experience of listening to the Stenheim Reference Ultime Two was invaluable.”
My Hi End, Ted Chen, August 9 2021
The References Ultime Two were on display by our official seller in China Pinnacle Audio during the Hong Kong Show 2021
“If the concept, and all the benefits that come with a high-performance two-way monitor appeal to you, Stenheim’s Alumine 2 speakers are fantastic. They offer excellent sound, meticulous execution, and a density of thought approached by very few similarly priced speakers. Highly recommended.”

We are proud and happy to have been able to provide our Reference Ultime Three special Edition for the magnificent event organized in Montreux by Nagra with Claude Nobs Foundation, Montreux Sounds, Audio Technology Switzerland, and the EPFL.
The Reference Ultime Two was presented this weekend at THE Show, the first high-end audio show to resume in the United States.
“The demand for this room was so great that a sign-up list was instituted, even for Sunday. The big Stenheims threw voices up to the ceiling as though every vocalist was speaking from on high.”
On the occasion of the first presentation of the new Reference Ultime Two, we had the immense pleasure of welcoming the public to our new showroom.
