Gauder Akustik Berlina RC 3

摘要

These are the best loudspeakers in the world', boasts Gauder Akustik of its top-line Berlina models. That's quite a crow when you consider.the plethora of cost-no-object designs available around the globe. Still, the company's 250kg 'big daddy' flagship, the £125,000 Berlina RC11, is revered by show-going audiophiles worldwide and Gauder Akustik's high-end models regularly receive awards from hardened audio critics overseas. Chief designer and company owner Dr Roland Gauder must be doing something right! Gauder Akustik is a boutique speaker manufacturer based in Renningen, a few minutes' drive west of Stuttgart [see boxout, p53]. From its entry-level Arcona 40 standmount (£ 1650) to that mammoth Berlina RC11 destined only for the stateliest of listening rooms, the company has some 15 models in its portfolio. It's in its luxuriously appointed Berlina models with their elegantly fluted enclosures deeply lacquered in piano black or arresting piano white where the company showcases its no-compromise build quality.
