The HRS-130 loudspeaker
The HRS-130 loudspeaker is a higher performance version of our popular HRS-120. Not only have significant improvements been made to the sound quality, but the cabinet has been restyled to give a smoother look, enabling the HRS-130 to blend more easily in to the room. The improved look is enhanced by a new, luxurious high-polish polyester finish, which is available in black or white.

The Borderland MK IV loudspeaker
Originally introduced in 1992, the Borderland was our first flagship model and has since provided the inspiration for the current Unlimited and HRS-130 models. Now in its MK IV form, the Borderland remains our most popular loudspeaker. It combines our unique carbon fibre DDD driver with a downward firing 12–inch woofer and a sophisticated new crossover network. Housed in an extremely rigid octagonal cabinet, it sets impressively high standards for stereo imaging, transparency and musicality.

The Carbon MK IV loudspeaker
The Carbon Mk IV is the latest version of another long running German Physiks design. Finished in high polish carbon fibre with a deep, clear lacquer coating, it is a luxury version of the Borderland Mk IV, using the same crossover and cabinet, with a single DDD driver and a downward firing 12-inch woofer. Like the Borderland, the Carbon MK IV produces exceptional dynamics and resolution, together with the German Physiks hallmark musicality and three-dimensional stereo imaging

The Unicorn MK II loudspeaker
The Unicorn, as its name suggests is a very rare animal: a single driver loudspeaker that covers the full audio range. It uses a single carbon fibre DDD driver to cover the full range from 24kHz all the way down to 40Hz. The bass has a speed and smoothness of integration with the rest of the audio range that we have yet to hear bettered. The overall clarity, coherence and finesse the Unicorn provides make it a dream for lovers of vocal, jazz and classical music. It is also capable of surprising rock music fans.

PQS-402 loudspeaker
The design brief for the PQS-402 was to produce a listening experience comparable to that of our Loreley model from a loudspeaker with a smaller cabinet, thereby making our reference level products available to a wider audience. As well as the usual impressive German Physiks attributes, the PQS-402 also boasts a very wide dynamic range that comes close to its larger stable mate

Emperor MK II loudspeaker
The Emperor MK II is a smaller version of our flagship Gaudi model and like the Gaudi it designed to be tri-amped. This means that it uses three power amplifiers to drive each loudspeaker. This may sound extravagant, but it provides a higher level of performance than is possible with a passive crossover. To facilitate this it is supplied with our new Emperor Extreme digital crossover, which, for ease of use, is preconfigured at the factory.

Emperor Extreme Integrated amplifier
The Emperor Extreme integrated amplifier uses the electronics from our Emperor preamplifier and Emperor stereo power amplifier. This allows it to combine the exceptional flexibility and performance of these two products in one package. With the ability to deliver over 600W into both channels into 4 ohms and approaching double that into 2 ohms, it can drive almost any loudspeaker currently on the market.
