I bought these as part of a second system because they are finished so nicely. Sound quality comparisons are with my Proac Tablette Sig's in my main system. Compared with the Proacs, the bass is deeper, but looser, the high are rolled off, and the soundstage is further away. Although not as "exciting" to listen to, they nonetheless are very satisfying musically. If you have bright components, these will tone down the top end a bit. Nice wood finishes too. |

I agree with the previous review. The speakers are indeed very musical and for people who likes an easy and smooth sound, they are really good. They has quite a broad and controlled soundstage as well. They filled up my 5x4m room adequately with an NAD C320 (40 watts) amplifier. They require about 50 hrs of run-in. I would also like to comment on the build of the speakers. I would say the real wood finish are excellent. The build makes the speaker look slim and elegant, more speakers should be built this way. I would give a 5-STAR for the build & 4-STAR for sound (because of the relatively high price). |

I bought these as a replacement for my PSB600i set, because I'm starting a new life as a grad student and, well, I no longer have the space that affords the luxury of floorstanding speakers. I compared these speakers with a pair of Monitor Audio speakers, and these won hand-down. They have an amazing amount of low end for an enclosure this size, though a subwoofer would most definitely get me some of the low end I liked so much in the PSBs. |
