SIRIUS

State of the Art HighEnd loudspeaker


Dear Markus,

What can I say?

In 35 years of involvement in High-Fidelity, it's the first time that when listening for the first minutes to a product, cold, not broken-in, I have had tears in the eyes.
Of course, I'm getting older, so probably more emotional too, but...

Even Sandra, my sweet heart, said "I need to write on your web site about this", "it's a shock", and "now I want to hear all my CDs collection on the system".

You have achieved something very special, my friend.

The Sirius blends qualities rarely found together in the same product.
Power and sensuality.
Transparence and density.
Snap and liquidity.
Resolution and coherence.
Pace and class.

They present the instruments with authority, aplomb, in such a way that I feel that the sound both surrounds me and develops "inside" my body. Strange, rare and delicious feeling!

And visually, they are superb.

BELLA LUNA diamante

State of the Art HighEnd loudspeaker


Since I had the omnidirectional radiator JUPITER in my hearing room, this kind of reproduction opened new horizonts for me.
Now the sun rises for audiophile ears.
Upshot: The BELLA LUNA is a „JUPITER in miniature“ with all its advantages.

VENUS

HighEnd loudspeaker


Character: Quickly and lively, at the bass rather slim than weighty, but dry and very deep. Featherweightly, very spatial sound with typical point source obsession potential, because there is no burdensome pressure on the ears. The loudspeakers don´t be afraid to stand in little and sovereign in middle rooms.

Room Reflections

unwelcome or indispensible ? The controversal and rather sporadic way that our HIFI specialist press is discussing the matter of room acoustics shows the dilemma in dealing with the spatial hearing.
The press emphasizes the phase- and time-constant reflection to assess the roomal The importance of these reflections is shown by means of the following experiment. Let the loudspeaker play outside. You will see that the stereoscopic effect will be reduced to the level of the loudspeaker and that spatial effect of depth which you receive in your living room, is missing. Now, at the latest, the question of the emergence of the impression of the room on music reproduction by a loudspeaker unit, which we appreciate so much is arising.     more

Jupiter:

Stereo Times - USA 2005
Greg Petan:
As my pick for this year’s Most Wanted Component, the Duevel Jupiter can only be described as a triumph in mechanical engineering and musical performance.

Venus:

Audiofile - Malaysia 2004
M.K. Chong:
My wife poked her head around the corner and remarked, "I like these. They sound natural." The Duevel Venus does more towards bringing its audience closer to the heart of the musical experience rather than expose minutiae with an ultra-definition palette. I found myself listening to more music than I usually do during my requisite time with a component - and more varied types of music at that.
 

Shuttle

6moons - USA 2004
Ken Micallef:
The Duevel Shuttle Non-Feedback Integrated Amplifier does many things extremely well. Its bass extension will give amps triple its price a serious comeuppance, its soundstaging is first rate. I also found the Shuttle to be dynamically more powerful than its rated 70wpc would have suggested. It loved the boogie, nightlife and pounding pulse of hot audio sex and dance music depth charges. But it could also play it quiet and sweet if you had the right speaker to charm its solid-state heart.
 

Bella Luna:

Audio Arts - Taiwan 2003

Bella Luna is like an artfully cup of Cappuccino. It puts away the strong stimulation of Espresso, and it also avoids the milky sweetness of Latte - in addition to the proper balanced mixture of coffee and milk, Bella Luna decorates the milk bubble with a beautiful flower.
 

Venus:

Ultra Audio - USA 2003
Jules Coleman:
Given a choice between a product of exceptional merit and one of magic, I'll take magic every time. While one can admire, appreciate, and respect an exceptional product, a magical one touches the soul. The Duevel Venus loudspeaker is neither perfect nor exceptional, but it is magical.
 

Bella Luna diamante:

i-audio - Singapore 2003:

I would dare say that the Bella Lunas come very close in offering what both an electrostatic and horn loudspeakers can both do but separately. High transparency with 3-D imaging coupled with an unimposing size, you're practically baking your own cake and eating it! Anybody wanting to play with either horns or electrostatics without the imposing size of the former and humidity affecting the latters's diaphragm, Duevel offers the best of both worlds with the penalties.
 

6moons - USA 2003
John Potis:
Saying that I'll miss these speakers once they are gone seems trite. It is trite. But dammit, it's true.

The Duevel Bella Luna Diamante combines terrific coherency and transparency with wonderful spatial dimensionality, life-like detail and ease. For all their sonic precision, once broken in, they are remarkably easy to position and their omni-directional dispersion pattern makes them indescribably easy to live with in real-world rooms and homes.

Steven R. Rochlin:
i saw and heard my dream! It was a revelation that was not soon forgotten. In fact the Duevel room was awarded the coveted Enjoy the Music.com™ Best Of Show Award! So what made this experience so special as to rise above the other rooms? Glorious harmonics, extreme clarity, a great sense of scale and dynamics... just to name a few of the traits.
 

Venus:

Hörerlebnis - Germany 2000
Robert Schmitz-Nienhaus:
Spritzig und lebendig, im Baß eher schlank als wuchtig, dafür trocken und recht tief. Federleichter, sehr räumlicher Klang mit typischem Rundumstrahler - Suchtpotential, weil kein Schalldruck den Ohren zur Last wird. Der Lautsprecher scheut keine kleinen Räume und steht ebenso in mittelgroßen seinen souveränen Mann.
 

Bella Luna:

Hörerlebnis - Germany 1999
Marco Kolks:
Die natürliche Musikreproduktion eines Rundumstrahlers hängt im wesentlichen von einer zeit- und phasenkonstanten Abstrahlung ab. Mit der Bella Luna hat CD-Konzertmöbel ein System auf den Markt gebracht, das sich in großen wie auch kleinen Räumen wohl fühlt und hier mit einer sehr freien, völlig unaufdringlichen und natürlichen Wiedergabe überzeugt.
 

Jupiter:

Hörerlebnis - Germany 1998
Marco Kolks:
Die, die den gemeinsamen Weg mit der Jupiter in eine klangliche gehaltvolle Zukunft gehen, legen das Thema Lautsprecher ad acta. Sie kaufen einmal und für immer. Und sie werden sich garantiert von konventionellen Lösungen verabschieden.
