FULL OF SHAPES
The Reference 5 GS Edition is a particularly finely tuned special edition of our successful Reference 5 floorstanding loudspeaker - developed with great attention to detail and the aim of getting even more out of an already excellent loudspeaker. Under the direction of company founder Günther Seitz, it has been refined with selected high-end components: the new DLC tweeter system from the Reference Alpha series, a high-quality crossover with selected Mundorf components and the proven Room Compensation technology for individual sound tuning. Visually, it makes a stylish statement with the new “Sand” color variant - warm, modern and luxurious.

DLC tweeter
The new tweeter system with diamond-coated DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) dome tweeter ensures extremely precise and clear reproduction of high frequencies. The additional integrated, newly developed sound lens acts as a wave guide and mechanical air cushion. It optimizes efficiency and significantly expands the bandwidth of the high frequencies - for an airy, spatial sound stage and finely resolved details that bring music to life.

High-end crossover
The crossover used in the Reference 5 GS has been completely redesigned and fitted with high-quality MKP capacitors from Mundorf - one of the world's leading manufacturers of audiophile components. These selected components ensure minimum losses and maximum sound fidelity. The result: a balanced, phase-stable sound image with impressive dynamics, authenticity and fine detail.

Gold-plated connections
Das neu gestaltete Anschlussterminal der Reference 5 GS ist mit vergoldeten WBT nextgen™-Anschlussklemmen ausgestattet – langlebig, verlustarm und bestens geeignet für Bi-Wiring oder Bi-Amping. Für den klassischen Betrieb sind hochwertige, hartvergoldete Kupferbrücken im Lieferumfang enthalten. Dank integrierter RC-Technologie (Room Compensation) lässt sich der Pegel von Mittel- und Hochtönern in 1,5 dB-Schritten anpassen. So können Sie Ihre Lautsprecher exakt auf Ihre Raumakustik und Ihren Hörgeschmack abstimmen.

Enclosure shape
The enclosure architecture is based on the latest developments in the Reference series: rounded baffles and elaborately curved sides, bases and lids are manufactured on a precision 5-axis CNC milling machine. This design significantly reduces natural resonances and enables a particularly homogeneous dispersion pattern. Two 174 mm woofers and a midrange driver of the same size with black ceramic tungsten cones (BCT technology) deliver powerful bass and finely resolved mids - perfectly matched to the large cabinet volume and the efficient bass guide system.
The highlights at a glance
The Reference 5 GS is a statement for the highest sound quality and German engineering. Equipped with a newly developed DLC tweeter, a finely tuned BCT midrange driver and two powerful woofers with bass guide, this floorstanding loudspeaker performs at the very highest level - dynamically, precisely and emotionally.
