The Entreq Max S is the entry level model in their range of Max posts, sitting below the Max T.

The Max S is designed to upgrade the performance of an Entreq Ground Box or one of their Corepoint units.

Max S is built around three active materials rather than one.

Silver: Contributes its established acoustic qualities – clarity, immediacy, an unforced sense of presence in the upper registers.

Tungsten: the unifying material across the Max range, brings the weight and dimensional depth that has become a hallmark of Entreq’s work.

Mu-Metal: a nickel-iron alloy with exceptionally high magnetic permeability, contributes a steadying influence on the electromagnetic environment around the reference point.

The character of Max S is the product of these three materials in combination, each shaping what the others bring.

Max T leads on Tungsten alone with weight, depth, dimension. The Max S takes the same Tungsten base and builds it outwards, adding Silver for immediacy in the upper registers and Mu-Metal for stability in the electromagnetic environment. The result is a post with broader character than Max T, where Max T’s strength is its singular focus. Neither is better than the other – they are different approaches to the same role, and many listeners find themselves drawn to one in one system and the other in another.

Like every Entreq Max post the Max S contains a specific configuration of materials housed in a wooden body, designed to influence the electromagnetic behaviour at the reference point of a Corepoint unit or a ground box. The wooden body is chosen for its electromagnetic neutrality, letting the active materials inside do their work without interference from the housing itself.
