FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


“COMING OUT PARTY”
BÖSENDORFER LOUDSPEAKERS ENTER THE NATIONAL AUDIO MARKET
HOME ENTERTAINMENT SHOW HILTON NEW YORK - APRIL 28TH TO MAY 1ST

NYC, April 2005 – Bösendorfer Loudspeakers, widely acclaimed among European and Asian audiophiles, make an appearance this coming weekend at the HE Show 2005 at the New York Hilton to enter the national American high end audio market.

Calling all Audiophiles: Bösendorfer Loudspeakers, produced by the world-renowned piano maker, and designed by Hans Deutsch, speaker creator extraordinaire, venture out to change the listening experience of American hi-fi aficionados: utilizing an advance design radically different from other speaker technologies they produce sound authentic to an actual live listening experience.

Musician and acoustics expert, Hans Deutsch who worked closely with Herbert von Karajan and dedicated his entire life to the creation of the ideal speaker for true-to-life sound reproduction, now incorporating piano making tradition and expertise, considers the Bösendorfer his crowning achievement: a new dimension in unsurpassed sound.

Bösendorfer Pianos - the heritage of the Bösendorfer Loudspeakers will be highlighted by the exhibit of two exceptionally designed pianos: Special Design and Limited Edition, Porsche and Emperor, with outstanding talent performing live during the course of the show. Bösendorfer Loudspeakers, the re-incarnation of the Bösendorfer Piano, “re-producing true sound on all instruments”.

“Everybody that designs speakers tries to do something different, but Hans Deutsch
has in fact an extraordinary approach”, says Marvin Welkowitz, professional audio engineer and recent associate of Bösendorfer New York. “No other speaker is built like this – built like an instrument. It is a complex way of producing sound, and the result is nothing short of incredible!”

Bösendorfer New York continues to partner with Art Audio and Synergistic Research “involving the listener and bringing the live experience closer to the heart”. Both makers of some of the finest audio equipment existing calibrate their components to Bösendorfer specifications, creating the perfect prerequisite for genuine sound to evolve. Further information will be obtainable during the exhibition: Bryant Suite, 2nd floor,
New York Hilton, 1335 Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave btw 53rd & 54th)

His principle from the very beginning was to use only the highest quality materials available, to create the ultimate hand made piano. Today, Bösendorfer continues to produce the world's most exceptional piano, using the same traditional methods of craftsmanship handed down and refined through generations of master piano builders. www.Bosendorfer.com
