Lindemann BL-10 Loudspeakers

Chris Thomas has posted a review of the Lindemann BL-10 loudspeakers ($11,000/pair) at The Audio Beat. His conclusions:

“So the Lindemann BL-10 is a great speaker — of that I have no doubt. For those who really listen deeply into their music and absolutely and ultimately value quality above quantity, as I do, it is a tremendous musical asset — the more so when you consider its price alongside the competition. The only danger I can see is that, because of its size, it might find itself sitting on the end of systems that are not asking it enough questions. Other limitations are the obvious ones, where size of room or very low-powered amplifier are concerned, but it is interesting to note that Lindemann make larger floorstanding models, too, that Roy Gregory and I are looking forward to hearing. Personally, I would use the BL-10 with the highest-quality source and amplification I could find — and that doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive. Lindemann’s own 825 CD player is a very strong contender, at a price approximately equivalent to the speakers. I would directly couple those components to the best stands I could afford and connect them all with a matched set of cables, wall socket to speaker terminals. The Vitus Audio SIA-025 made such a strong case for itself that it demands a strong recommendation where amplification is concerned, while you’ve just got to be curious about Lindemann’s own electronics.”
