The web (and the market...) is full of fakes: fake info, fake prices, fake products, fake stories etc.

 

At this time FM ACOUSTICS does not maintain presence on other media channels such as e.g.

Facebook, Facetime, Google, Instagram, Linkedin, X, Yahoo or others.

Any presence on such media is   not   from FM ACOUSTICS. It may contain misleading, unauthorized

and / or outright false information. This is also so for AI .

 General AI is not "intelligent", it just quickly gathers information together from various sources.
If the info found comes from a correct or incorrect source - or is intentionally misleading ... -

is often unclear and is most often not verified by AI.

 

So what should be trusted ?

 

Artificial Unintelligence

or

Unartificial Intelligence ?

 

  Use the latter and always verify AI results - in fact - any info on the web

 


 

The HiFi Deluxe exhibition

 

will move to Vienna

 

So we plan to do so as well. Here the details:

 

Salon VIS

 in the 

Arcotel Kaiserwasser

Wagramer Strasse 8, 1220 Vienna, Austria

 

June 5, 2026: 12:00 - 20:00

June 6, 2026: 12:00 - 20:00

June 7, 2026: 11:00 - 17:00

 

Note:

The Salon VIS is somewhat separate from the other demo rooms - on the ground floor - near the Bar/Restaurant.

 

Also please note that in Vienna, all exhibition rooms are quite a bit smaller than in the Munich Marriott.

There will be limited seating. 

 

This, however, will be fitting the Inspiration System XS-IIIC which will be presented

using the diminutive but phenomenal FM 108-MKII power amplifiers. 

Also presented will be the FM 223 Phono Master and the new FM 256-RC - and more.

 


 

March in Rome

 

The Gran Gala dell' Alta-Fedelta was a resounding success

for FM ACOUSTICS. No need to boast. Just ask anyone who visited .

 

A great "Thank you !" to Giulio-Cesare Ricci, 

a caring host of the show and audio legend.

 


 From the Munich presentation - May 2025

 

 

Here a picture of the Inspiration System XS-IIC with the new power amplifiers - which

received a phenomenal response in Munich. The new amplifiers yet have no name,

no number, no price (doesn't that prove they are priceless ... :-)

 

Check back later on these pages for upcoming information.


 

LIVE IN THE ROOM !

 

Here is an unprocessed video of the actual sound in the listening environment.

 

The breathtaking presence of this 56 year old recording clearly defies the sometimes stated preconceived idea that

 

'...FM ACOUSTICS is only for listeners of classical music...'

 

This is one of the rare Inspiration System XS-1C installations together with the TS - 1 (True Subwoofer). Calibrated and fine tuned no one could believe such performance can be achieved in this very demanding acoustic environment.

This is as great as music can get...

        ____________________________

 

Here two further examples of the marvelous realism of this

XS-1C + TS - 1 (True Sub) installation :

 

In this unprocessed video recorded live in the room at the listening position by John Tan of The Absolute Sound Singapore, the two renditions from Joe Cocker’s "Sheffield steel" album prove what really can be expected from an FM ACOUSTICS system even in a very very demanding listening environment.

 

 Make sure to use a decent music system or decent external speakers on computers or phones !

 



 

FROM THE VAULT


These videos are    N O T    about sound quality - because being recorded live in the room on a simple mobile phone with all its colouration, distortion, resonance etc... (which can e.g. be experienced in the Ernesto Lecuona section, where on upper range of voices the limitations of the microphone becomes rather obvious. With these limitations, sound quality itself cannot be "breathtaking".


"From the vault" is a small series about "known" music,  music rarely heard, fine interpretations from known as well as less known artists.
It is a totally personal choice - not at all what some would call  "objective". The aim is not to feature one musician over another or boast about sound quality but to share some music - a bit of history and a few experiences of a lifetime in music.

The sources are not always - but sometimes they are ! - first hand experiences.

This is a very simple format and necessarily limited. It is not rehearsed or "produced" (and unfortunately no make-up artist was present...). There may be small questions regarding dates, names, titles and other matters; your understanding is appreciated.

"Experts" may criticize "in-exactitudes" and may declare this approach as simplistic - well, it has to be because of its rather limited scale.

 

For us, it's all about the music. Human enjoyment is purely analogue, personal and - we are rather sure - will remain so.

 GOOD BUY AND WELCOME !

"... I'm sorry, but when you have heard FM ACOUSTICS you can forget the rest."

 


Make sure to use a music system or external speakers on computers and phones !

Repeated requests for a short online demonstration/explanation of the ARC (Acoustic Resonance Correction) have been received.
This unique feature solves the problem of standing waves which exists in any listening environment. The ARC  is included in the FM 268-C, in the FM 266-MKII-RC and in the new FM 256-RC.
Here is a brief demo.
Note: this is recorded directly into a mobile phone. Make sure to hear this on an audio system or with external speakers to capture the difference. Also note that in this demo the correction is being applied for this specific room. In other rooms different resonance corrections must be applied.

The actual improvement is, of course, much larger than a mobile phone microphone can capture. The idea here is just a short demonstration / explanation.
For the real experience, contact your local official FM ACOUSTICS distributor - or write to us so we can organize our distributor to contact you.

You will be in for an astounding experience - whatever audio system you own.
