Audio Physic STREAM LINE – Audio Physic GmbH unveils STREAM 1 and STREAM 3 at HIGH END Vienna 2026

Audio Physic GmbH is bringing a particularly relevant premiere to HIGH END Vienna 2026: the new Audio Physic STREAM LINE, a fully new loudspeaker family from the German HiFi manufacturer. The series is designed to redefine the entry point into the Audio Physic world while showing how much High-end ambition can be realised in a more approachable price category. At launch, the line consists of the compact Audio Physic STREAM 1 bookshelf loudspeaker and the slim Audio Physic STREAM 3 floorstanding loudspeaker. Both models use modern carbon diaphragm technology, high-quality cabinet execution and a clear design language intended for classic stereo systems as much as for demanding domestic interiors.

A new entry line with a serious brief

With the Audio Physic STREAM LINE, Audio Physic GmbH is opening a new product category within its own portfolio. This is not presented as a stripped-down version of existing concepts, but as a newly developed series intended to carry recognisable Audio Physic qualities into a more attractive price environment. According to the manufacturer, the core idea is a combination of acoustic precision, everyday usability and a form language that integrates into modern interiors without the heavy-handed visual theatre often associated with technical loudspeakers.

That positioning matters. Audio Physic GmbH is addressing listeners who may not wish to begin with the company’s larger High-end models, but who still expect clean spatial imaging, dynamic behaviour and careful construction. The series is intended to combine ease, energy and emotional musicality – qualities which, in the Audio Physic context, have long been associated with timing, resolution and the ability to build a convincing soundstage.

Audio Physic STREAM 1 – a compact loudspeaker with grown-up intent

The Audio Physic STREAM 1 is designed as a compact two-way bookshelf loudspeaker. It is aimed at listeners who want to build a proper stereo system but do not have the space, or perhaps the need, for large floorstanding loudspeakers. With a frequency response of 42 Hz to 40 kHz, a sensitivity of 89 dB and an impedance of 8 Ohms, it should be relatively straightforward to integrate into a broad range of systems.

Audio Physic GmbH positions the STREAM 1 as a versatile loudspeaker for traditional stereo applications as well as more design-conscious living-room systems. Its cabinet measures 380 × 195 × 300 mm and is made from multiply braced MDF. The loudspeaker is supplied as a pair, including magnetic fabric grilles.

Audio Physic STREAM 3 – the slim floorstander of the new range

At launch, the Audio Physic STREAM 3 takes the role of the largest model in the new line. The 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker combines a slim cabinet with greater performance reserves and, according to the manufacturer, is intended to deliver a particularly stable balance of dynamics, control and spatial precision. With a frequency response of 36 Hz to 40 kHz, a sensitivity of 91 dB and a recommended amplifier power of 25 to 170 Watts, it is clearly conceived for more ambitious stereo systems.

Despite its more grown-up standing within the Audio Physic STREAM LINE, the STREAM 3 remains visually restrained. At 1.035 × 195 × 300 mm, it appears slim and room-friendly, yet its 18 kg per loudspeaker give it a solid constructional foundation. Here too, Audio Physic GmbH uses a multiply braced MDF cabinet and includes magnetic fabric grilles as standard.

Carbon technology at entry level

One of the defining technical features of the Audio Physic STREAM LINE is the use of modern carbon diaphragm technology in a more accessible product class. Audio Physic GmbH describes this as the first application of this technology in its own entry-level range. The loudspeakers use 45 mm Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragm tweeters, abbreviated as TPCD or HHCT, alongside 180 mm bass and bass-midrange drivers with carbon-Kevlar diaphragms.

This choice of materials is intended to support particularly fast and precise signal behaviour. The tweeter is designed for high impulse fidelity, fine detail retrieval and low-distortion reproduction even at higher levels. The bass and bass-midrange drivers, meanwhile, are meant to provide pressure, control and a naturally integrated midband. Audio Physic GmbH refers here to material technologies associated with aerospace and motorsport – in other words, a combination of low mass, high rigidity and strong load-bearing capability.

Cabinet, terminals and placement

In constructional terms, the new series stays closer to the demands of classic HiFi loudspeakers than to purely price-led entry-level solutions. The cabinets are made from multiply braced MDF and are designed for high stability and low resonance. Finish options include matte walnut as a real-wood veneer, plus matte black and matte white lacquer versions.

For connection, Audio Physic GmbH uses WBT nextGEN binding posts with an aluminium terminal. The bass reflex implementation differs between the two models: on the Audio Physic STREAM 1 it is rear-firing, while on the Audio Physic STREAM 3 it is both rear- and down-firing. The intention is to combine strong bass output with practical placement behaviour.

All benefits at a glance

• A new entry route into the Audio Physic GmbH loudspeaker portfolio
• Two clearly differentiated models for different room sizes and system concepts
• Audio Physic STREAM 1 as a compact bookshelf loudspeaker for flexible stereo setups
• Audio Physic STREAM 3 as a slim floorstanding loudspeaker with greater dynamic headroom
• Carbon diaphragm technology brought into a more accessible price class
• 45 mm Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragm tweeter for refined high-frequency detail
• Carbon-Kevlar bass and bass-midrange drivers for controlled low and midband performance
• WBT nextGEN binding posts with aluminium terminal for high-quality system integration
• Room-friendly finishes in matte walnut, matte black and matte white
• Magnetic fabric grilles included as standard

Price and availability

The new Audio Physic STREAM LINE will receive its first presentation at HIGH END Vienna 2026 in the Austria Center Vienna. According to the current information, the series is scheduled to become available through specialist retailers from July 2026. The Audio Physic STREAM 1 will be offered at € 1.990,- per pair, while the Audio Physic STREAM 3 will be priced at € 3.190,- per pair. Both models will be available in matte walnut, matte black and matte white.

Conclusion

With the Audio Physic STREAM LINE, Audio Physic GmbH is targeting a particularly interesting point in today’s loudspeaker market: serious music reproduction for listeners who want proper engineering, a discreet visual presence and pricing that does not immediately move into the upper High-end regions. On paper, the Audio Physic STREAM 1 and Audio Physic STREAM 3 look like two deliberately well-defined models – compact and flexible in one case, slimmer and more capable in the other. The decisive question will be how convincingly Audio Physic GmbH translates its promise of carbon technology, spatial precision and musical engagement into this class.
