Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $500.00 from august 2003

Summary:
As caixas externamente são exoticas , seu acabamento em preto com seus woofers sem guarda pó em aluminio são altamente contrastantes e lindos. tocando els impressiona por sua extensão de graves sem que haja muito trabalho por parte de sua unidade de grave . Os médios são muito claros , altamente inteligíveis. Os agudos são ótimos , limpidos. Sua construção é muito robusta e confiavel, estas caixas pesma muitissimo oque se reflete em sua coloração musical quase nula.

Strengths:
Seu grave se destaca entre as caixas bookshefs que eu ouvi. Achei-a de façil posicionamento na sala.A rigidez de sua construção .

Weaknesses:
Exige amplificação autoritaria. seu acabamento poderia ser em folha de madeira natural não em material que o imita.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Sound Room, in Platt

Summary:
The drivers (mid range and woofer) in this speaker are among the best ever made - regardless of price. Unfortunately, the stock cross-over circuit severely limited the dynamic range and also hurt the musicality. By placing a 10 microfarad polypropylene condensor in parallel over the electrolytic in the crossover, you GREATLY increase the dynamic range. This costs about $10 for parts! Better yet, have Frank Knight build you a newly designed outboard crossover that takes advantage of the supurb Velodyne drivers. My 661 pair now sounds better than a $20,000 B&W - MUCH more revealing and musical. Makes the B&W sound like it has a veil in front of it.

Strengths:
EXTREMELY low distortion that results in reproduction of detail, transients, etc.

Weaknesses:
Cross over in stock condition, but see above.

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.....

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.
