Review 2 of 7

Summary:
Paired with a Yamaha RX-360 receiver and Yamaha CDX-560 CD player in a small apartment the sound is very nice, even on FM radio. I'm even thinking about adding the smaller JBL 500 speakers to the system. Certainly for the price I paid ($200.00 Canadian) I am impressed. I did listen in a listening room at the store and they sounded better from across the room, but the sound at home was much better than the store demo.

Strengths:
Good Bass for the size. They replace much larger speakers
and the bass is just right for me.

Weaknesses:
Less high end than I'd like but I prefer bass anyways so it's just a minor point

Review 3 of 7

Summary:
Great addition to my existing system. It sounds much fuller and clean. While watching movies, in surround sound, you feel like you are in the theater. Limp, Kid, and Blink all sound kill on these speakers.

Strengths:
Full sound, a nice add to my surround sound, which had small front speakers. Price of $89.00 was great.

Weaknesses:
None so far.

Review 4 of 7

Summary:
They are really good speakers overall. I just started building my system but they still sound great. I really like the bass they have. The only minor flaw is the treble response. i would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent speakers at a low cost.

I also use a Technics receiver SA-EX110, as well as a Technics SL-PD6 CD changer. The speakers work great with both of them.

Strengths:
These are excellent speakers. They have awesome bass and good midrange. Really good price too. i got the pair for $125.

Weaknesses:
Treble isn't great, but i don't care

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

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.
