Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $990.00 from CRANEHOMETHEATER.COM

Summary:
I have a pair of these little guys on loan from Crane Home Theater to try in my second system. That room is around 8H X 12D X 9.5W and I’m just under 4’ away. Most speakers won’t converge that close, but no problem with the MDIIs. They have a very flat, coherent wave much like the Manger drivers, which go for about a grand each - and that without an enclosure. These are perfect monitors and are small enough to get high-end audio from your computer.

They have decent bass on their own, but I prefer a little more so TBI’s self-powered VIP should fill the bill. I would have given them 4.5 stars, which is remarkable for loudspeakers under $1K/pr. We have a winner!

Strengths:
Natural sound and a joy to listen to.

Weaknesses:
None when considered as a true near-field monitor, which is what they are.

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

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.
