Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $1500.00

Summary:
These speakers are made in Switzerland, very small amount only for Europe. EV in America didn't have them in product line... so they can't be found in archieves.

I never heard a better speaker in this price range. These old speakers have a unique mid system just like Interface D's. A different box in speaker with a huge magnet (the same size with bass) and a reflex port! These amazing powerfull, mids are very detailed, accurate, soft, clear and very capable in timing.

The bass goes down to 25Hz deep... and every note can be heard accurately and clearly down there without boosting or distortion.

The high frequencies tend to be shiny sometimes but they fit well with soft and smooth mids. and they loose nothing in detail.

The orchestration of these speakers is not very well but the power, detail, accuracy and timing are not questionable.

They need to be raised up 25 - 30cm with stands and used with a soft amp. and CD player. The amp dosen't need to be powerfull because these speakers are 93db and can give what you want.

Strengths:
Power, detail, accuracy, timing, the perfect low frequencies, the unique mids and high frequencies... The best in this price range.

Weaknesses:
Heavy, big and old fashioned. The orchestration is not very good as other features...

Sanders Sound 10b Speaker Review

No, you can’t always get what you want. The number of loudspeakers surpassing the cost of a decent family sedan is staggering. Then there are speakers that cost as much as a house.

I have set up about a dozen different subwoofer models, including a few that I built, in my systems over the years.
