, from Little Rock, Arkansas, USA
Price Paid:
$1100.00
from Whetstone Audio Summary:
It took me awhile to get them sited correctly, but then--- after some experimentation, things started to seriously groove. So much so, that I now feel they are in fact the fastest, most rhythmic and bass-accurate standmounts I have heard. They have proven themselves infectiously fun with all types of music. The midrange is extremely natural and they have a real solidity to the image. They produce genuine bass-- not fat, artificial tones. Most of all though, they are a pacey, exciting listen that kind of forces you to keep playing CDs when you should be doing the work you've taken home from the office. I think this is their main downside. They are too involving. Be careful what you wish for! Strengths:
As above, but to reiterate-- pacey, rhythmically taught sound which is always involving and enjoyable. Superb mid-band voicing. No bass bloat and no "Hi-Fi" artificialty to the presentation. Just honest music as you know it can sound. Weaknesses:
Probably not the LAST WORD in imaging. But who cares? They image very well (at least as well as most small boxes) and make up for what they lack by a granitic solidity of those images. Need good (read: expensive!) stands and are a bit fussy with positioning. Similar Products Used:
Totem ones, Reference 3A De Capo, Alon one, Quad 63, Soundlab Dynastat, Spendor 1/2, Spendor 2/3 (yep, I've owned all of these and more).
