I live in The US and I am back here now. I don't have any information about the Divin and did not see it nor listen to it when I was in Germany. If you want additional information you would need to contact Oliver Gobel at the factory in Germany.
He has joined WBF and perhaps I can get him to respond to you here but if you have specific questions I suggest writing to him directly.
you can write him @ info@goebel-highend.de
I can only tell you they are Huge and do not use the bending wave driver.
Best regards,
Elliot

Thanks very much...
I was just asking out of curiosity... Especially power handling capabilities.
Dont have the means to afford them :(

Dear GMKF,

Many thanks for your question and I'm happy to share more infos about our Divin loudspeaker line:

Technology like, this new Divin loudspeaker is a traditional dynamic loudspeaker on the first sight. With enormous 2 x 18 inch bass chassis, 2 x 8 inch midrange chassis and one big tweeter with a big waveguide in one loudspeaker. Whereat we also massively used and applied our bending wave knowledge and technologies in order to perfectly control the membrane break up of the conventional membranes, reaching a perfect phase and time behavior and avoiding resonances in the membranes, enclosure materials and crossovers.

And the Divin has a real sensitivity of 98dB / 1W (the Divin is NOT a horn loudspeaker)!

With this new additional loudspeaker line we want to also reach and help the more traditional dynamic loudspeaker customer. Also for the customers which prefer using tube amps with very low wattages and therefore looking for loudspeakers with very high sensitivity. Technology like the Epoque line and the new Divin line differs massively. However the new Divin loudspeaker is immediately noticeable as a Göbel High End loudspeaker by it’s outstanding minimal industrial design.

So to sum it up, under the Göbel High End brand, we will have 2 different lines of loudspeakers:
- First line is the Epoque loudspeaker line with their Carbon Excellence Bending Wave Driver.
- Second line is the high efficiency more conventional loudspeaker line which is enhanced by our bending wave technology.

All the best,
Oliver

Thanks for the reply Oliver ;)
and welcome to WBF !
With enormous 2 x 18 inch bass chassis, 2 x 8 inch midrange chassis and one big tweeter with a big waveguide in one loudspeaker.
Thats a serious bit of kit :cool: With presumably lots of power handling capabilitys ;)

And the Divin has a real sensitivity of 98dB / 1W (the Divin is NOT a horn loudspeaker)!
Oliver

Im guessing the speaker impedance is 8Ohm ?
Response: 18Hz— 30-50kHz -3dB ?

Thanks !
Max

PS: Ich bin ca 15min fahrt von euch weg :b

Hello Max,

Yes that is it indeed. The power handling and the max. SPL capabilities are nearly limitless. :)
Frequency response -3dB = 23Hz to 23.500 Hz

All the best,
Oliver

PS:
Wenn Du nur 15 min. entfernt bist, meld dich doch einfach mal. Du bist immer in unserem Hörstudio willkommen.
