Reference Ultime 2 is soft, warm and comfortable, easily bringing out the music listening pleasure, smooth music lines and wide sound field, presenting the natural music expression.
First, the Stenheims' look is living-room, partner, and family-friendly, not audiophile weird. Second, and more importantly, the Alumine Threes are not dreadful-to-drive, low-EPDR speakers that will only work with massive crazy-money monoliths that are capable of driving 2 ohms.
Open day at our official dealer in France! Visit us in Paris from 15 to 17 October 2021 and discover the Alumine Three and Alumine Five.
The SlowSound event is organized by VDM Sound Group and is a wonderful concept that appeals to many of the listener’s senses. The purpose is to combine wine tasting from the historic and iconic House with beautiful music played on the incredible Stenheim speakers. For this occasion, it will be the European Premiere of the Reference Ultime Two.

“The low-frequency control is excellent, and the cleanliness is unimaginable. The overall experience of listening to the Stenheim Reference Ultime Two was invaluable.”
My Hi End, Ted Chen, August 9 2021
The References Ultime Two were on display by our official seller in China Pinnacle Audio during the Hong Kong Show 2021
“If the concept, and all the benefits that come with a high-performance two-way monitor appeal to you, Stenheim’s Alumine 2 speakers are fantastic. They offer excellent sound, meticulous execution, and a density of thought approached by very few similarly priced speakers. Highly recommended.”

We are proud and happy to have been able to provide our Reference Ultime Three special Edition for the magnificent event organized in Montreux by Nagra with Claude Nobs Foundation, Montreux Sounds, Audio Technology Switzerland, and the EPFL.
The Reference Ultime Two was presented this weekend at THE Show, the first high-end audio show to resume in the United States.
“The demand for this room was so great that a sign-up list was instituted, even for Sunday. The big Stenheims threw voices up to the ceiling as though every vocalist was speaking from on high.”
On the occasion of the first presentation of the new Reference Ultime Two, we had the immense pleasure of welcoming the public to our new showroom.
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.
"The Alumine Three are an undeniable success. Aesthetically discreet, hushed, elegant, in a word Helvetian, they do not hesitate to go out of their hinges when it comes to reproducing the music. As expressive as possible, very dynamic, capable of an ultra-realistic soundstage, they are suitable for a music festival of all times. Well done."

ALUMINE FIVE SE : AUDIO ART
"Difficult to replicate the delicacy with the right sense of elegance! The performance of the strength of 3 frequencies (high, mid, low) is super balance and let listeners is on the top of the sound stage from this powerful pair speakers. You always can discover more from this pair of speakers"
“In my return to the exciting world of the two-way monitor, I found that the Stenheim Alumine 2s set the bar preternaturally high. I’ve listened to a lot of speakers over the last couple of years that I could buy and enjoy for the rest of my life. But the Stenheims go deeper than that. Not only do they provide sublime sound, but they resonate with my life as an audiophile. They capture all of the qualities I’ve pursued over the last 40 years, and I highly recommend them.”
“The Stenheim Alumine Three did this more frequently, and do a greater degree that any other loudspeaker I’ve had in my home. The Three is a compact, exceptionally built, and easy to drive loudspeaker that fits into real rooms, with the heart of a large horn system and touches of electrostatic transparency thrown in for good measure…
This trio hails from South Africa and is comprised of pianist Charl du Plessis, bassist Werner Spies and drummer Peter Auret. The trio houses a dynamically creative, exciting, and fresh sound, spanning multiple influences from all of its members…
My-Hiend magazine / STENHEIM Alumine FIVE / 2019
“"Why do I give the best value for a pair of speakers, not the best performance? The reason is simple, because STENHEIM has a top-quality model, the focus is that it's hard to win a complete win at this price group.” STENHEIM of Switzerland has a high level of work and sound quality and high efficiency.

"The Stenheim Reference Ultime has leap-frogged a host of well-established competitors to jostle for position right at the head of my To Be Taken Seriously list. Competitors and customers alike should take it equally seriously. It is quite capable of shocking, surprising, beguiling or just plain seducing . . ."
