Stenheim Alumine Two SE Bookshelf Speaker [Pair]

The Alumine Two SE represents the pinnacle of compact speaker engineering, retaining the acclaimed cabinet and driver configuration while elevating every internal component. A meticulously refined crossover topology, paired with premium internal wiring and audiophile-grade binding posts from Mundorf, Jantzen, Audyn, Myflex, and Jupiter, delivers extraordinary transparency and spatial precision. This Special Edition achieves remarkable micro-dynamic clarity, harmonic resolution, and tonal richness—qualities that dissolve the speaker's presence and reveal the music and musician with uncompromising fidelity. A masterwork for discerning listeners seeking the finest compact loudspeaker available.

Outwardly simple, even plain, there is much more to the Alumine Two than meets the eye. This speaker is an impressively musical product – but it is also proof of concept. At Stenheim, we started out by questioning the fundamental thinking, technological choices, and materials behind conventional designs. That led us to some surprising conclusions – answers that contradicted conventional thinking and fashionable theory: Solutions that discarded the measured benefits of high-tech cone materials in favour of the musical advantages of more traditional approaches: That mandated low-loss, phase-coherent crossovers with sophisticated out-of-band roll-offs: That selected the low-storage signature of a critically damped aluminium cabinet using innovative, low-volume damping materials. And behind each decision? The drive to maintain the life and energy in the music, the essence of the original performance.

The Alumine Two is also available as a Special Edition, the Alumine Two SE. For this model we use the same cabinet and drivers but paired with a cost-no-object crossover, upgraded (or custom) internal wiring and upgraded binding posts. For the Alumine Two we developed the lightest-touch, lowest loss crossover topology possible, but even so, improving the components has a profound effect on performance.

Exhaustive listening tests have led us to develop our own internal wiring and select the very best parts from Mundorf and Jantzen, Audyn, Myflex and Jupiter – a Who’s Who of boutique audiophile brands. The result is even greater transparency and dimensionality, even more natural separation and perspectives, micro-dynamic and harmonic resolution, a greater range of tonal colour. The result is, more music, more musician and less speaker, creating what we firmly believe to be the most musically convincing compact speaker available.
