Unveiling the Wizard S6plus
The Richter - Wizard S6plus - Floor Standing Speakers Review explores the reinvigorated performance of Australia’s own Wizard series, an audiophile stalwart. Awarded Sound & Image’s Ultimate Product of the Last 30 Years, the new Series 6plus raises the bar once more, borrowing premium technologies from Richter’s Special Edition range for an even more engaging entertainment experience.
Design and Engineering Excellence
The Wizard S6plus enclosure features a refined cabinet bracing system and magnetic grill mounts that ensure resonance-free performance. Available in a sleek matte black or a rich walnut finish, the contemporary design sits effortlessly in modern living spaces. Integrated stabiliser spikes and rubber/silicone feet allow you to fine-tune mechanical damping for optimum floor coupling.
Advanced Transducer Technology
At the heart of the S6plus is a new 25 mm soft dome neodymium tweeter, delivering exceptional sensitivity (90 dB @ 2.83 V/1 m) and extended bandwidth up to 30 kHz. The resonance point sits below 900 Hz, ensuring effortless treble clarity and a vanishing veil effect.
Complementing the tweeter are dual 165 mm mid–bass drivers with a lightweight composite paper cone. These drivers exhibit a smoother response through the critical 1 kHz region and reduce nonlinear distortion by approximately 10 % over the previous Series 6 model. The result: articulate midrange imaging and punchy, controlled bass down to 25 Hz.
Crossover Refinement and Bass Management
Richter’s re-engineered crossover employs high-quality acoustic polypropylene capacitors, air-core inductors, and ferrite core inductors from the Special Edition lineage. Phase-coherent filtering and optimised acoustic loading ensure seamless integration between drivers. A bonus Bass Port Foam Puck system (the “Goldilocks Effect”) lets you dial in the perfect low-frequency balance for your room—whether you prefer tight definition or more energetic bass extension.
Who Should Consider the Wizard S6plus?
- Enthusiasts seeking a floorstander with a fine balance of musicality and dynamic impact.
- Owners of 100–200 W amplifiers looking for a 4 Ω design that plays loud with minimal distortion.
- Fans of vinyl, CD, or high-resolution streaming wanting to uncover the depth in their favourite recordings.
- Anyone craving a refined upgrade that marries Richter’s storied heritage with cutting-edge advancements.
