Review 2 of 2

Summary:
I have lived with the Studio 20 Celebration for just one year. Mine are in a gorgeous piano lacquered rosewood. These not only look fantastic but the sound is so precise. I have used speakers in the past with more bass weight, but I do not miss this one iota. The 20's actually do go down fairly deep but it's not about bass quantity, no it's about quality. I have never heard a system sound as good as mine, not at hifi shows, not at dealers, nowhere. I am using Mark Levinson equipment, which is a bit overkill but it just proves what hi-end potential the Studio 20's have. My music flows with rythm and precise timing, but where the 20's really score is with the fantastic image they set up. I sometimes sit in the dark with my eyes closed and dream of being there. A wonderful loudspeaker worthy of it's world accolades over the last few years

Strengths:
Absolute clarity and precision

Weaknesses:
Appear costly at first sight, other than that none.

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.
