from www.unitedhomeproduc Summary: This is a review for Cliffhanger CHS-2 / W2 speaker combo. These speakers are excellent. You get the full spectrum of sound (not like most of the speakers out there where you get treble and mids, but no base). The sound that these speakers produce is just amazing. It’s 3D like. It is as though the music surrounds you. The only speaker with similar sound reproduction are Vandersteen 2Ce – 3A, but when I was auditioning them, they were hooked up to electronics that was ten times more expensive then mine (I have Jolida JD1501A integrated amp), and Vandersteen speakers are bulky and ugly.
I consider myself a stereophile, and even though I do not know all the cool lingo that “stereophiles” use, this is how you can distinguish good sounding speakers from the average ones. Take several of your CDs with different kind of music to a store where they sell Grado headphones (125 version or higher). Listen to your CDs. Now check what pair of speakers can match the sound (quality, instruments you couldn't heard before, dimensions) that you’ve heard through the headphones. I guarantee that Cliffhangers CHS-2 / W2 will be on the top of your list. You can read a review for these speakers at http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/das13.htm and get some specs at http://www.audio-ideas.com/reviews/loudspeakers/cliffhanger.html. To the manufacturer of these speakers – get you web site going. People need to know about your great products. Strengths: Full spectrum of sound reproduction (treble, mids and base), 3D sound presentation. These speakers perform well even with bad recordings. Weaknesses: No grills. The dealer had to ordered them from the manufacturer. Similar Products Used: Thiel, Totem Acoustics, Gershman Acoustics, Meadowlark, Vandersteen, Paradigm
