Review 1 of 4

Price Paid:  $150.00

Summary:
This is a follow-up review after three years of life with these speakers. They are still being used in my office; still part of a two channel system; still being powered by my Kenwood VR-6050 receiver. I am still very happy with them! Since I posted my last review, I did wire in a low cost sub into the system.

Strengths:
Balanced sound -- great for all kinds of music.

Weaknesses:
bass is as good as it can be in such a small bookshelf system -- this was helped by adding a sub to the system.

Similar Products Used:
none in the last three years -- and I am not looking

Review 2 of 4

Price Paid:  $150.00 from accessories4Less.com

Summary:
Small bookshelf speakers which I integrated into a 2-channel office audio system. I listen to all kinds of music from classics to opera to popular from jazz to blues to country to r&b. These are excellent balanced full sounding speakers. They won't make the earth move; but for use in my office, powered by a Kenwood VR-6050 receiver, they are great!

Strengths:
Great balance - very satisfying sound; satisfactory bass for a small bookshelf system; smooth all across the audio frequency spectrum. Makes it a joy to listen to music!

Weaknesses:
Bass could be more pronounced -- but that is impossible in so small a system. Some day I may add a subwoofer.

Similar Products Used:
These systems replaced a pair of Design Acoustics bookshelf speakers that I bought from J&R Music World in New York. DA was a small Canadian manufacturer that went bust some years ago. They were good speakers but the Cantons are a definate upgrade to my ears.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
