from Sevenoaks Hi-Fi Summary: An excellent speaker but not cheap. Good with a wide range of amplifiers, I use these with a Quad 34/306 Pre & Power combination but have also used them with an old NAD 3020 and they still sound excellent. I bought these secondhand after someone had them for a couple of weeks and didn't like them hence paid 2/3rds of the full price. At the same time I also auditioned a range of speakers from Mission and Wharfedale. These were definitiely the best (even my wife agreed!) Superb for vocals, especially female vocals and excellent with classical music. These speakers don't sound confused when handling a range of instruments at the same time like some do. Definition is very good. Bass is position sensitive and it took me a couple of attempts to get a good balance since when they haven't moved! I can live with these speakers long-term. Strengths: Very musical, can handle anything from classical to rock. Good at low volume as well as high. Excellent vocals, nice bass extension without thumping. Weaknesses: Need careful positioning at least 30cm away from a wall. Similar Products Used: B&W CM2, Mission 750
