Review NaN of Summary: I guess my first post is missing somewhere.I was surprised by the speakers soundstage when it is driven by a Byston 4BST in a dealer's show room. The instrument was exactly at its place and the bass energy was amazing if you consider the small size of the speaker. The sound image is very stable even on the big scale performance like a orchestra's playing of Beethoven's 9th symphony. Also I liked the detail informaiton of the music going out from the speakers. After I brought home a pair of it and drove them with the same Amp., the Bayston 4BST, I really enjoy it. But I have a problem now, I find out that half of my old CDs has faults here or there, which I have never noticed with my old cheap setup. I try the CD with problems in the old cheape setup again, they are their this time! Come on! how come I haven't heard of them before! I also find out that the sound is a bit hard at the mid-high range, proberbly couple resonance peaks are presented at about 2K-4K range from the tweeter. It maybe the reason of the faults in the CDs are so noticible. ( mostly are the resonance at about 600 hz when the Cello and Base are play a very low chors ). My system is Marantz CD17 + Conterpoint Solid 8A + Bryston 4BST with this speaker. For the soundstage, dynamic range, power, sonic detail, I will give a 5 stars to this small monitor, for sweetness, balance I give it a 4 star. BTY, I mostly listen to Classical Music.
