Summary:
Equipment: Arcam 7se CD Player Nytech CP112/CPA602 Pre/Power Amp Cliff Stone (Very, very, solid) Foundation stands. Price paid: 500GBP Ex Demo. These are fabulous speakers. - Hardly ever mentioned in the UK HiFi Press. - Probably because AudioVector don''t contribute vast sums of money to their advertising revenue. (Unlike Mission which, co-incidentally seem to be over enthusiastically recommended whenever the day ends in the letter ''y''). >

Strengths:
These boxes are a miracle. - Totally transparent with such a natural and detailed top end with oodles of space around the various highs. Imaging is fantastic helped by the fact that these small boxes really do disappear into the soundstage. Not a trace of that harsh cheap sounding ZZzzzziiiing of those cheaper metal dome models. The top end dynamics are astounding - you just get the feeling they could handle anything you could throw at them - at any volume and still have room for more (and the Nytech is a hefty amp). The mids are also fantastically natural on these units. - I can''t really say much about it. - How can you give characteristics to something that doesn''t have any of it''s own. - Basically, when listening to BBC Radio4 - (Speech - Drama, News, Documentaries and Current Affairs for non UK folks) - which I spend most of my time doing, the presenters could be in the room with you, except when the sound engineer screws up - which these speakers expose admirably. - I never thought I would be tut-tutting at the sound quality of the BBC so much. - They really should do better as the United Kingdom''s national broadcaster!! Basically, I have been startled more than once wh

Weaknesses:
Not weaknesses really, just things to keep in mind. Although I have tried to keep them away from the corners of the room, (at least 3 feet) I think the bass can get a little bit carried away at higher volumes, but this is the fault of the positioning of the units and not the units themselves as I didn''t notice this in the shop where they were positioned out in the open. They will reveal that half your CD collection was actually recorded on your granny''s dictaphone (and the sound engineer was wearing her hearing aid ;-)

Price Paid:  $560.00 from KT-radio, I bought them 2nd hand.

Summary:
The first thing I noticed was its very airy highs. They are free of strains and does not sound closed or pushed in any way, female voices sound very natural. The mids are like the rest, detailed, airy and precise. The speakers have an ability to blend in with the sound. When closing your eyes it's hard to point out the speakers exsact position in the room. Many times you will guess that the speakers are further apart than they actually are! All in all, this is the most natural speaker I've listed to so far.

Also if you give the speaker a powerful amp you'll be amazed over the deep precise bas it can produce. My room is quite small and these speakers have plenty of bas to me. Before I bought them I was wondering if I should get a subwoofer but that is waay out of the question now. It will simply be wasting money.

My system:
Amp - Densen Beat100
Transport - Cambridge Discmagic1
Dac - Cambridge Dacmagic1
Speakers - Audiovector M1 Super

Strengths:
Very good build quality. When you feel them you can really sense the craftmanship. Upgradeable.

Weaknesses:
The price...
