from ubid Summary:
BIC's horn-loaded Acoustech towers provide a great deal of sound at a bargain price and are a great alternative to the Klipsch Reference or Synergy towers. (I've owned the RB-25's and SB-2's - both great bookshelf speakers). The Acoustech HT series have a similar driver complement to the Synergy's (aluminum tweeters and IMG cones) and they're finished with piano-gloss tops and bottoms. What makes these speakers really stand out sonically are their clarity in the upper range and warm upper-bass and mids without having the vocals sounding bloated. Typical of horn-loaded designs, these play loud with a minimum of amplifier power. My advice is to get the center and surrounds for the full acoustic effect. I use a Boston VR-500 for sub duties. Strengths:
Very clean, non-fatiguing highs, warm mids, nice looks. I would place them on par with Klipsch for quality looks, smooth sound and powerful dynamics. Weaknesses:
None I've noticed. As with 40" towers they can tip easily even with the integrated feet and they do not come with spikes. Without a sub the bass is a little weak for a floor-stander. No bi-wire capability either. Similar Products Used:
Klipsch, Wharfedale, PSB, Boston Acoustics. Visit my audio site at: geocities.com/dlazer11/cheapaudio.html
