Richter Harlequin S6plus Floor Standing Speakers Review – in the ever-evolving world of audiophile-grade hi-fi, the Harlequin S6plus from Richter stands out as a testament to refined performance and engaging entertainment. Building on the award-winning Series 6 pedigree, these floorstanders borrow tech from Richter’s Premium Special Edition range, delivering an engaging experience that keeps you digging through vinyl crates or swiping for your streaming favourites.

Design and Build Quality

Richter has evolved the Harlequin S6plus with a sleek, minimalist cabinet available in Walnut or Matte Black, complete with magnetic mounting grills that attach seamlessly. Constructed from high-density MDF, these enclosures free the drivers from unwanted resonances, while sturdy stabilisers ensure rock-solid placement in any listening environment.

Acoustic Engineering and Technical Insights

At the heart of the S6plus lies a new 25 mm soft dome neodymium tweeter borrowed from Richter’s Premium Special Edition line. With a lower resonant frequency, higher sensitivity and double the power handling of its predecessor, treble is rendered with lifelike clarity and air. The custom 165 mm composite paper mid/bass driver exhibits a notable reduction in nonlinear distortion around the critical 1 kHz crossover, offering a smoother, cleaner midrange presentation.

The refined crossover network uses high-quality acoustic-grade polypropylene capacitors, air-core inductors and ferrite-core coils to maintain phase coherence and minimise colouration. The vented bass-reflex design extends response down to 31 Hz (–6 dB), while the ingenious Bass Port Foam Puck system lets you fine-tune low-end output to suit room size and personal taste.

Performance Across Genres

Whether you’re immersed in orchestral crescendos, intimate jazz recordings or bass-heavy electronic tracks, the Harlequin S6plus delivers. From the controlled slam of a kick drum to the delicate shimmer of ride cymbals, tonal balance remains faithful and engaging, with excellent soundstage width and pinpoint imaging precision.

Who Should Consider the S6plus?

If you’re an enthusiast seeking a dynamic, entertaining speaker that excels with vinyl, CDs and streaming alike, the S6plus is an ideal choice. These speakers thrive in medium to large listening rooms and pair best with amplifiers in the 50–150 W range, thanks to their 88.5 dB sensitivity and 6 Ω nominal impedance.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Premium soft dome tweeter, improved composite mid/bass driver, low distortion, versatile bass tuning via port pucks, elegant magnetic grills.
• Cons: Sensitivity demands a quality amplifier; requires floor space for optimal positioning and bass-port tuning.
