Description

Conceived and built entirely in Switzerland, our new Reference Ultime Two speaker offers the proven design approach, components and materials used so successfully in our Reference Ultime models, in a more compact product that is easier to accommodate.

Like all of the existing Reference models, the Reference Ultime Two is a full d’Appolito design, with an off-set symmetrical driver layout. Internally, the similarities continue, with the passive crossover sharing the same essential electrical characteristics and quality as our existing designs. Rather than the two, rear-firing bass units of the existing Reference Ultime models, it employs a pair of rear-facing laminar flow reflex ports (similar to those developed and so successfully used in the Alumine Five models), to load the front-mounted 12” drivers.

The Reference Ultime Two delivers audio performance that honours the musical performance, a listening experience that captures the energy and atmosphere of a live concert, that encapsulates the excitement and emotional response of a live audience.

REFERENCE ULTIME TWO REVIEW BY U-AUDIO

“Was spending just one afternoon with the Reference Ultime 2 enough? Of course not, but it is enough for me to outline the sound personality of Reference Ultime 2. 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. The newly arrived Reference Ultime 2 is opening its sound, so why not take a trip and experience the goodness of the Stenheim speakers with your ears?”
