Alumine Three SE
As with other speakers in the Alumine line, the Stenheim Alumine Three is also available as a Special Edition, the Alumine Three SE, with several upgrades for the most discerning audiophile. Launched at the end of 2022, this SE version builds on the already remarkable sound produced by the standard Alumine Three and gives it even more clarity and detail.
It employs the same sophisticated cabinets and drivers but the wiring connecting the internal components is custom-sourced from a boutique supplier. It features a no-expense-spared crossover, built with the finest available components. Whilst the standard Alumine Three’s crossover is already exactingly and meticulously engineered to be musically unobtrusive, it is nonetheless possible, through the selection of even higher-grade components, to release a whole new level of musical information: greater resolution, richer textures, more articulate rhythms and more natural dynamics.
All these modifications have been arrived at through exhaustive A/B listening tests. These have led us to 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.
Finally, the binding posts have been upgraded and doubled up. They are now the same as those used on our Reference models and allow for bi-wiring and bi-amping, giving owners the chance to further enhance the sound from their system, or giving them a possible upgrade path in the future by adding further amplifiers.
The Alumine Three SE is the best Alumine Three that we can make and the astonishing sound it produces will only go to further enhance the reputation of what, in the guise of the standard Alumine Three, is already a remarkable, award-winning loudspeaker.

Press reviews
STENHEIM ALUMINE 3: SWISS WATCHES FOR THE EARS (IN GERMAN ONLY)
“(…) And that gives me exactly the keywords to describe the sound of the Stenheims: class and elegance (…) Even if it sounds like a cliché, nobody really needs more speakers. To put it another way, the Stenheim Alumine Three speakers mark the sonic end of reason..”
Christian Bayer, Image Hi-Fi, 2022

"I never imagined how much previously undelivered recorded information the Stenheim Alumine Threes would bring into my room. Or how powerful and compelling this newly discovered information would be.”

“2020 The Absolute Sound EDitor’s Choice Awards: The Alumine Three”
“The Stenheim Alumine Three did this more frequently, and do a greater degree that any other loudspeaker I’ve had in my home. The Three is a compact, exceptionally built, and easy to drive loudspeaker that fits into real rooms, with the heart of a large horn system and touches of electrostatic transparency thrown in for good measure. At, or near the top of finest compact loudspeakers available today, and one that joins the small club of products I’d recommend going out of your way to experience”

AUDIOTECHNIQUE : alumine 3 at HK AV show 2019 (IN Chinese OnLY)
“(…) when I listen attentively , I find that the analytical power of Alumine Three is absolutely superior among the speakers of the same price, because not only the change of music, but also the sound of the pianist's breathing, and the ultra-thin sounds that are triggered when the keys of the piano move have all manifested themselves.”
Patrick Lee, Audiotechnique, 2019

‘‘(…) My 10-year-old son walked into the room. He rarely offers any comments/opinions on anything I have at home, but this time after about a minute he said,
"I like these better.” (…) He explained, "They project better”
(…) “What do you mean they project better?"
Without missing a beat, he continued, "They sound purer. It's like you're right there."
That from a 10-year-old who's never read an audio review ...”

”(…) I find the speakers beautifully understated. They deliver incredible dynamics, remain neutral, and effortlessly disappear into the music. Truly my end-game speakers…"
