Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $3400.00 from manufacturer

Summary:
I have been aware of, recommended to,seen & listened to Osborn Speakers for quiet a few years, seeing Gregs stands at audio shows etc.
Having sold my High End system a few years ago due to divorce, I started from scratch recently, with 30yrs experience to select satisfying components without breaking the bank.
I went to see Greg Osborn at the insistance from some of his satisfied customers saying I wouldn't find better sound at anywhere near his asking prices.
They were 100% right ! the Eclipse 1V speakers I purchased, are the standard model, not the lead lined references & are close to entry level for Osborn's, but they out perform many other brands flagship models.
There are no short cuts here, magnificently constructed, attractively finished very solid cabinets, fitted with highest quality focal drivers, tweeters and hand wound cross overs.(real pride of ownwership stuff)
As for the sound it's all there in spades, high's, low's, transparency, wieght,impact,delicacy,so on,& so on.
I have owned some of the best available local equipment in Aus over the years, the Eclipeses are up there with them at a very reasonable asking price.

Strengths:
OVER ENGINEERED TO PRODUCE EFFORTLESS, UNFORCED, SPACIOUS SOUND.

Weaknesses:
GOT TO BE KIDDING @ THIS PRICE.

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.
