Closer Acoustics Blocks Honored with High Fidelity “Product of the Year 2025” Award

We’re proud to announce that the Closer Acoustics Blocks system has been distinguished with the Product of the Year 2025 title by High Fidelity. This recognition, coming from a publication known for its deep expertise and high editorial standards, is a meaningful milestone for our team.

From the very beginning, the Blocks project was shaped around the idea of giving listeners genuine freedom — freedom in shaping the sound and in tailoring the system to the acoustic character of their rooms. Receiving this award confirms that such an approach stands out in a world increasingly dominated by ready-made, one-size-fits-all solutions.

What caught the attention of High Fidelity?

In their commentary, the editors emphasized the original sonic identity of our designs, rooted in the use of full-range drivers and a long-standing commitment to a coherent, natural presentation. Below is the fragment they published with the announcement:

“The Closer Acoustics Blocks loudspeakers. Once again – good because Polish! But above all, these are unique loudspeakers, just like the brand itself, which from the very beginning has pursued its own, niche sonic signature based on full-range drivers. What makes Blocks exceptional is that the user can select and combine individual ‘blocks’ in different ways to best fit their room and personal taste. These are not speakers for show-offs, but for those who listen to music for long hours with dimmed lights and a glass of good wine in hand, appreciating color, smoothness, coherence, and that hard-to-define yet unmistakable musicality. As if that wasn’t enough, Blocks know how to charm and engage when driven by tube amps, solid-state class A amplifiers, or even powerful class D designs.”

Their words capture what we care about the most: creating equipment that allows the listener to step deeper into the music, not just hear it.

Why the Blocks system stands out

Blocks are built around a modular concept, giving owners the ability to experiment with different configurations and adapt the system to their tastes. This makes the listening experience more personal — almost like engaging with a crafted instrument rather than a standard audio product.

It’s a system created for those who enjoy unhurried, immersive listening sessions and value emotional connection as much as technical refinement.

Looking ahead

The High Fidelity distinction strengthens our resolve to keep exploring new ideas and expanding the Blocks concept. There's still a lot we want to share — new approaches, new possibilities, and new forms of experiencing music at home.

To everyone who follows our work, supports us, and listens with curiosity — thank you. This award is as much yours as it is ours.
