"<strong>Magnat</strong> unveils the <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>216</strong> <strong>Reference</strong> series.<br />
In comparison to normal <strong>Selection</strong> models<br />
this set has been enhanced at crucial points and<br />
it marks the pinnacle in the speaker range produced<br />
by the traditional Pulheim company.<br />
Unusually styled with a white cone and large rubber<br />
dust cap, the 16 series model is pleasing with<br />
its extremely solid construction. It features the largest<br />
drive in the test and is consequently also<br />
home to the largest voice coil. A significant degree<br />
of resilience is entrusted to the component measuring<br />
a full 38 mm in diameter. In order to prevent<br />
impact during maximum travel the underside of<br />
the pole core is arranged in the same way as a<br />
subwoofer. The cone suspension consists of a<br />
large spider, which is mounted on a spacer ring -<br />
again to create space for travel reserves.<br />
Sound<br />
The <strong>Reference</strong> unit really lets rip with the power<br />
amplifier. You really get the feeling that the system<br />
has a lot of fun when it's cranked up. Thanks to<br />
its powerful drive the 16 series model generates<br />
bass pulses with relish and delivers precise beats<br />
as required. There is also little to criticise about the<br />
mid-range, as there is no nonsense from the <strong>Magnat</strong><br />
unit and it reproduces music accurately. The<br />
treble range has really become something magnificent.<br />
The tweeter spoils the ear with an excellent<br />
resolution without forcing itself into the foreground,<br />
ensuring even the most fastidious of listeners<br />
get their full money's worth. “<br />
