Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Lately I have gotten the Prisma 250 and got a bargain with NAD components, all for about USD1100. Trying to find more information on the Prisma 250, however it is too old for its existience now in 2004. Appreciate someone can direct me with more information and tips. Anyway, it sound superb,

Strengths:
Good soundstaging with open-wide sound fill. Well balance sound, for all-rounder of modern music new-age, vocal and pop jazz. Warm with good bass.

Weaknesses:
A bit restricting on high note. Not a real classical music contender, but a well rounder with classical, pop jazz, and vocal.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $1450.00 from Gills Custom House

Summary:
Have not purchased this speaker yet, but after exhaustive auditioning am very enthusiastic about this little known company. The speaker seems to have the best of all worlds in terms of sound quality (see strengths above) looks great too. I heard this speaker with Marantz's 18-ex receiver and the sound was very balanced, transparent and for me, after listening for quite some time, produced no "listener fatigue".
I have been listening to every speaker out there with various electronics and have heard some great speakers and some not so great (am i the only person to feel that Martin Logans are very overrated - for the record I am a former ML Monolith owner). I auditioned this speaker here in Chicago at Gills' Custom House with the Marantz 18-ex (great receiver, as good as separtes) and for the money, it can't be beat! If you're like me and looking, be sure to try this speaker with good electronics and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Their web site needs work though!

Strengths:
Open, airy detailed sound, perfect imaging, warm and neutral, inexpensive

Weaknesses:
hard to find

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

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.
