Hifi Days 2025 Linkwitz is outstanding….
Good morning Mr. Brenner,
Yesterday I heard Linkwitz speakers for the first time.
What can I say? A dream, a maximum demand, the reproduction of a holography has become reality.
For this kind of reproduction, a new word should be invented or defined.
Compared to other systems, even accessories, the system is relatively affordable.
Most products, with their claimed qualities and improvements, are pure nonsense by comparison, and do not lead to this result.
Who, when confronted with this system quality, still thinks about a speaker cable for €5,000 or even €50,000 (representative of much of what is offered out there)?
The realization is based on technologies and principles that are comprehensible to me, and at no point did I get the impression that it had anything to do with voodoo. Form follows function, experience quality follows applied and demonstrable technology.
Well, you neither need my recognition nor my evaluation—others, more renowned experts, have already provided that.
Since yesterday, Linkwitz 521 has been on my bucket list.
Even today I already hope you will grant me my wish of being able to hear the system with my own music at your place.
Kind regards, J.K.
After Bernd had highlighted his neighbors from Neu-Ulm in his report, it’s now my turn—with Leinfelden, or more precisely, Oberaichen. When I go jogging, I almost pass right by Dr. Frank Brenner’s door. He continues the name, the concept, and the products of Siegfried Linkwitz under the LINKWITZ brand. The speakers are known for their spatial imaging, and on top of that, Frank Brenner is an avowed fan of single microphone recordings—particularly from the Dutch label Sound Liaison, which I also listen to frequently and use for testing.
In the photo, he explained the advantages of DSD256 recordings, which are also available for playback as downloads. Throughout the entire processing chain, the data never leave the DSD domain, ensuring that no conversion errors to PCM can occur. The single-mic recording of clarinet and bass was astonishingly spacious and lifelike.
This time, Linkwitz Audio presented its extraordinarily fascinating loudspeakers not in an open space, but in an enclosed room:
