Acoustic Design Vol. 5
Floor-standing speakers with full-range drivers and an oval 6 × 9″ woofer
The Comp.5 is our classic model from the Comp series—sleek, elegant, and unique both technologically and visually.
The newly designed baffle optimizes sound diffraction for a smooth frequency response—something one would hardly expect from a single full-range driver. The baffle and enclosure are vibration-decoupled, and the base plate is resonance-optimized.
An oval 6×9-inch woofer with curved side walls delivers impressive bass reproduction in a slim design. Bi-wiring and bi-amping are possible thanks to separate terminals; the system can be upgraded to active or wireless mode at any time by replacing the terminal panel.

Comp.5Passive
Description
The Comp.5 is the classic model in the Comp series. The first impression—its elegant, sleek design—endures even after the first few minutes or hours of listening.
The full-range driver embodies the ideal of a point source. An oval 6 × 9″ woofer housed in an enclosure with curved side walls handles the lowest frequencies—this keeps the Comp.5 slim while still delivering impressive bass.
The crossover is located in the terminal block on the back panel. Thanks to separate terminals for full-range drivers and woofers, bi-wiring and bi-amping are possible. You can upgrade to an active or streaming system right at home without needing a professional—simply by swapping out the terminal block for the appropriate module.

Comp.5Stream
Description
The Comp.5 Stream is our slim floor-standing speaker with full Stream functionality.
"Streaming" isn't just about wireless technology—it's a completely new approach to hi-fi and high-end audio. All you need now are the speakers—playback devices, amplifiers, or power amplifiers are no longer necessary.
Music is streamed via Wi-Fi (UPnP/DLNA, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, QOBUZ) from your streaming service, computer, tablet, smartphone, or the cloud—or via Bluetooth aptX HD, for example, from a smart TV. Coaxial and optical digital inputs (up to 24-bit/192 kHz) on the master speaker accommodate additional digital sources. The signal is transmitted wirelessly to the second speaker without loss or interference.
Signal processing is entirely digital all the way to the digital output stage—with no passive components and no switching between digital and analog domains. Volume is also controlled digitally, with 48-bit precision.
The amplifier module drives full-range speakers and oval woofers, each with its own power amplifier; the built-in DSP handles the crossover and adjusts the speaker to fit your room.
