MSRP - from SGD 51,000
The 9.87 system is composed of 2 different parts. On top you find the Voxativ PI. Equipped with the driver of your choice.
In the bottom section we do have the Voxativ PI Bass. A woofer system that combines the Ripol® idea with our Acoustic Stealth Technology®. The result is a complete open system that nearly has to move zero volume. It is equipped with 2 x 96 dB Neodymium woofers each (=99dB). These woofers are extremely fast and are driven by a 250W class AB plate amp. The first dipole woofer system that really has a strong bass.
The system runs semi active. This means the upper Pi is driven by your tube amp without any filtering. Just plug in.
The woofer section has it's own amplifier and is driven up to 120 Hz (recommended).
We suggest a line connection to the woofer section. High level entry is possible on request, but not recommended. So you need a preamp out on your amplifier. Please ask us for solutions if your amp does not have it.
The result is the most powerful full range system you have ever heard. This means all Voxativ features are kept but now linear down to 20 Hz !

Jack Roberts, Dagogo.com, T.H.E. Show Newport June 2016:
"...the sound was as good or better than anything at the show at any price. I love single-driver speakers and even with the bass extender, the sound was that of one of the best single-driver speakers I have ever heard. Again, let me say this was easily one of the very best sounds of the show. In price, it’s not quite a mega-system, but in sound it surely was!"
Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound, T.H.E. Show Newport June 2016:
"...my third best sound of Newport Beach was Holger Adler’s $34.9k Voxativ 9.87 one-way (using Voxativ’s AC-4x spruce-wood-cone driver with neodymium magnet and whizzer tweeter in a folded-horn enclosure, which sits atop an active 12" dipole bass “extender”). Driven by Voxativ’s 845 SET monoblock amps and Ampeggio preamp, and sourced by Totaldac digital, this German masterpiece couldn’t be more different than Cessaro’s horns or Gauder’s steeply crossed-over multiways (both also from Germany, as it turns out), but its sound was, in its own way, just as fascinating and just as realistic. Neutral and absolutely seamless, the 9.87 (along with Voxativ’s Ampeggio Due) is simply the fullest-range, most natural-sounding one-way (or augmented one-way) I’ve ever heard. And once you’ve heard a speaker without a crossover that is this good, it makes everything else sound just the slightest bit cobbled together from parts. No, you’re not going to get the dynamic range of a horn speaker from the 9.87, nor quite the same resolution or treble extension that you get from the Gauder, but what you are going to get is true point-source imaging and a sound that doesn’t change a jot in timbre from octave to octave..."
Jason Victor Serinus, Stereophile, RMAF Oct. 2015:
"...this truly superior system excelled in communicating the life and beating heart behind the notes. Listening to Agnes Obel via Tidal, I heard beautiful sonorities distinguished by open highs, a superb midrange, and deep bass. Nor did the voice of Cassandra Wilson on "Strange Fruit" possess anything other than a special and wondrous beauty. Switching to analog, a fabulous recording of the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio's Live at the Misty excelled in its percussive impact. I wouldn't call this system totally neutral—it had a special shine to it, as would a jewel that had been buffed and polished to perfection—but it was supremely musical and drop-dead seductive..."
Michael Lavorgna, AudioStream, RMAF Oct. 2015:
"...this system exuded music into the room and I was lucky enough to join David Chesky and Steve Guttenberg as they went through some of David's stunning recordings, er, files..."
Clement Perry, The StereoTimes, RMAF Oct. 2015:
"...High-end Electronics had another excellent sounding high-end rig this year. Sweet and delicate with full and quick-footed bass had me captivated for nearly an hour. Ultimately, I spent more time than I wanted in this suite compliments of some pretty impressive components that included the Voxativ 9.87 speaker system..."
Released May 2015, first appearance at the HighEnd Show in Munich and already winner of the Gold Show Award for the Best Sound.
Blue Moon Award 2015 by 6moons.com - Srajan Ebaen concluded:
"...a fringe benefit is that the bass cabs with their flexible settings may be acquired for competing products; and that a soloing bachelor Pi can be converted to a properly married Pi at any time by simply inserting a folded felt damper into its horn throat and docking it atop the bass base. Punters with ears bigger than their wallets can thus approach the 9.87 system in two steps to defer the full crunch of the final bill. Add truly impeccable lacquer skins applied by an actual piano maker to cross off luxury optics in the same sentence as luxury costs. On my list of speaker hotties I'd most like to keep around, Voxativ's 9.87 system enters a tight secret group which includes the KEF Blade 2 and the Vivid Audio Giya 4. Yes that's illustrious company. And yes, that's where this one belongs; different but equally accomplished and one to settle down with to call it game over...."
