HI-FI SHOW: Richter to Launch Special Edition Black Speakers at Show
The upcoming StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show in Melbourne will host the world premiere of Richter's Series 6 Special Edition Black loudspeakers.
This year, Australian-owned brand Richter celebrates over 35 years producing some of Australia's most awarded loudspeakers. Chief designer Dr Martin Gosnell wanted to do something different and even better to celebrate this anniversary.
After many discussions, design meetings and drawings, along with the manufacturing of new drivers that would enable the vision to be delivered, Gosnell settled on the latest design for the larger floor-standing speaker, Series 6 Special Edition Black.
Brian Rodgers, Director of Richter, told StereoNET:
Special Edition Black is the next level model to the successful Series 6 Range, finished in a new high-quality all over Matte Black finish. These new Special Edition models use a new, more efficient and more sensitive 25mm soft dome tweeter working with our next-level high power 6.5-ich SE drivers with larger voice coils, housed in a rigid alloy basket driven with dual magnets. Together with a new crossover design, this all combines to deliver the next level in Richter performance. The Series 6 Special Edition Black (or S6SE Black) is here to continue the Richter core value of providing an exciting and engaging entertainment experience!
So, after more than 25 years since the last model Excalibur, comes the new Excalibur S6SE Black ($5,699 RRP) stands 1150mm tall atop S6 Stabilisers - the new release now being the flagship in the Richter range. Using two 6.5-inch SE midrange drivers positioned above and below the new 25mm tweeter, each is enclosed in its own internal chamber and rear ported. Another pair of 6.5-inch bass drivers is enclosed in its own larger internal enclosure, similarly rear-ported, and designed to deliver fast and clean deep bass.
Also new in the lineup comes the Wizard S6SE Black ($3,699 RRP), taking advantage of the success and foundation laid with the Wizard S6, but said to take performance to another level with the same new 25mm soft dome tweeter and high power 6.5-inch SE midbass drivers and new crossover design.
Richter's Excalibur S6SE Black and Wizard S6SE Black will debut at the 2022 StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show, June 3rd-5th, at the Pullman Melbourne Albert Park. Tickets on sale now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
