System M5S

Authentic reproduction of music on the highest level possible. Time-coherent, and with fascinating resolution across the whole frequency range, our reference speaker is able to reproduce your favourite music almost as in a concert. Recording location, placement of the musicians, simply anything you feed into the System M5S is presented in a fascinating way. And that with any kind of music! Whether at moderate volume or at live-like volume levels, tonal balance and signal fidelity are kept intact across the whole audible range. Owing to its perfectly homogeneous sound radiation this exceptional speaker allows you to enjoy a fascinating musical experience from room sizes of 20 to up to 200 square meters.

The large magnetostat, comprehensively optimized in our Ansbach factory, is one of the best tweeters in the world. Thanks to its low crossover frequency it covers an extended and essential audible range. The synergy of all driver chassis is absolutely seamless. Thus even the most complex musical events are projected into the room in a singularly authentic and almost live-like way.

The patented ASCENDO technology SASB makes for an extremely agile and stable bass performance, which already at low listening levels fills the room realistically and powerfully, without exaggeration. The innovative VTA technology allows for a perfect and time-aligned link with your listening position. The result: speakers and technology vanish - you hear nothing but pure music.

Since 1999 the ASCENDO System MS has been rated as one of the best loudspeakers worldwide. As Bernd Theis wrote in Audiophile as early as 1999: “Currently the System MS is the benchmark for the sonically and technically feasible.“ From 1999 on the ASCENDO MS has been continually improved and
marketed in several MK versions.

The only alternative to ASCENDO´s System M5S: a live performance.
