Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I auditioned this speaker almost 2 years ago and I was amazed of what it can do. I honestly never heard a speaker that can goes well with almost every music I play. It can go well with soft vocal jazz, classic, and can also present most of the modern rock and even techno music.
Most of the audiophile speakers I've heard always specialized to play with soft jazz music and for me it sounds boring. Sure I listened to soft jazz sometimes, but I still want to play Journey, Guns N' Roses, Ne-Yo, etc on my system and it won't feel "RIGHT" if plays with speakers like Totem, ATC, PMC, etc.
My other equipments are : Denon DVD 2900 Universal Player, and NVA AP 50 (modified) integrated amp
Bottom line is..this speaker suits me well and I'm not thinking to look for another at least on the next 5 yrs to come !

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Description: Neat weave thier magic again,no thrills,no boom n tizz boxes,just pure sweet unadulterated music,burst forth from these wonderful little speakers.

For a floorstander,they take up remarkably small amounts of real estate,and look very cute,are come beautifully built in real wood finishes,to suit al types of home decors.

So,they look good,and they sound good too,stick a Naim,Sonneteer,or Exposure amp on the little babies and they will truly sing,the soundstage is huge,but what is pe¡resented before you is realxed,polite and thoroughly engaging,bass is well balanced,with no booming or sloppy bottom end,midrange,is laid back and polite,so the music isn't forced upon you in a unatural way,and the treble isn't obvious,it just sounds sweet,and gets on with the job,this is a music lovers speaker,not a speaker to impress the nieghbours or the local boy racers brigade,sit back,enjoy,and let the sound of the motives captivate you!!

Strengths:
looks,build,sound,musicality

Weaknesses:
prefer the tweeter on the Neat Elite SE

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.
