Forgot to publish this from last week, but nevertheless still worthy of attention. Stenheim, the Swiss HighEnd loudspeaker manufacturer, has opened its first listening room at its headquarters in Vétroz in the Rhône Valley, not far from Montreux, renowned internationally for its music festival .
Situated in the middle of a vineyard with views over the Alps, the room aims to immerse the listener in a sound experience which matches the visual experience of the location. The auditorium is dedicated to bringing music alive in all its richness and diversity with the accent firmly laid on the sensual pleasure of concert comparable listening conditions rather than technology.
The room was inaugurated on the 11th December to a delighted and enthusiastic company of invited journalists and hifi aficionados. It was also the first time that they have had the chance to hear Stenheim’s top of the range REFERENCE speakers.
