Review 1 of 1

Price Paid: $375.00 from AudioAdvisor

Summary:
I have been listening to old monaural recordings, high resolution recordings, DVD's DVD-A's...and in each format this speaker is awesome. I don't know if headbanger metal heads would like it, it's got muscles but refined muscles. As it breaks in I'll be interested to see if it loosens up. Dialog is clear, bel canto passages are musical and even coloratura stuff isn't fatiguing. I had a Kef UniQ 9C and it was fine but unrefined. This English unit is wonderful.

Strengths:
Musicality, clarity, a little laid back which is fine for me, I don't like overcritical speakers. It's a tank, not too big but it is solid.

Weaknesses:
None that I can think of.

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.
