German Physiks are best known for their unique omni directional speakers although they make superb electronics and cables. Their speakers are comprised of the world famous DDD carbon fiber driver that radiates sound in 360 degrees. The high-tech DDD driver covers nearly the entire audio range from about 200hz and up eliminating the need for elaborate crossovers that rob many speakers of fine details and create phase problems. The DDD driver is augmented by a sub bass driver(s) making them a true full range speaker capable of producing a wide and deep soundstage that is coherent and extremely fast, all characteristics highly prized by audio enthusiasts.
Diapason, meaning the full range or every note, is an Italian loudspeaker manufacturer based in Brescia, Italy. Founded in 1987 by Alessandro Schiavi, the company has spent more than thirty‑five years crafting exceptional loudspeakers—from the Prelude to the Dynamis, including the iconic Adamantes, Karis, and Astera. These models have earned a revered place in the high‑fidelity world through their heirloom‑grade cabinetry and uncompromising attention to detail.
Each speaker is built from meticulously selected materials such as aged Canaletto walnut, olive wood, and fine leather. Their crossovers feature premium components from Mundorf, Jantzen, and Van den Hul, while custom drivers—designed by Diapason and produced by Scan‑Speak—ensure absolute musical integrity.
The result is a loudspeaker that delivers a warm, organic, emotionally engaging sound that brings every genre of music to life, all while standing as a stunning piece of Italian craftsmanship.
