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.
Press reviews
Reference Ultime TWO Review by MY-HiEND
“The low-frequency control is excellent, and the cleanliness is unimaginable. The overall experience of listening to the Stenheim Reference Ultime Two was invaluable.
(…) This is a sound arrangement album without vocals, but very tense and detailed, relying on the musical dynamics, high and low frequencies are constantly stacked, quiet and repetitive to form an article like the rise and fall (…)
Here the Stenheim Reference Ultime Two showed its power and speed in the low frequencies, and the cleanliness of the low-frequency percussive points, which I have never heard on this track before…”
