Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $800.00 from Hifi-Schludenbacher

Summary:
On my quest for new loudspeakers I knew where I had to look. Celestion was my first love ( and it will be my last .. ).But .. I couldn't find their latest Flagship , the C3 , anywhere ! After months and months I gave up my search and went looking for other brands.. Monitor Audio , Castle Acoustics , JBL , Tannoy , etc .. But none could really give me the sound I was looking for .. Then one day , I received an e-mail from someone who knew I was looking and told me the C3's where on sale in a german store.I went there straight away , I called to reserve the speakers and drove from Belgium to Germany for a pair of Loudspeakers.When back at home I placed them in my HT and I was stunned .. The music I played and the movies I watched came to life. The inmense detail , the sharpness , the subtle controlled bass .. It was all there ! I love these speakers ! Apart from a subwoofer , I own a complete Celestion set with Celestion 9 rears , Celestion C3 fronts and Celestion C4C center.It's heaven.

Strengths:
- The Celestion sound is BACK! - The inmense detail. - The incredible soundstage. - Stereo is top-notch ! - HT ( with other speakers of his caliber ) is a thrilling sensation - ..

Weaknesses:
None for the price paid.

Similar Products Used:
- Celestion 9 - Several models from Castle Acoustics , Tannoy , JBL , Monitor Audio , .. none could compare in the same price range.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $1500.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
I got convinced into buying the speakers by the salesperson and by the fact that the distributor was in need of cash and had a big sale on those so the price was great (1500 USD for 2 C3''s, 1 subwoofer, 2 surrounds and 1 center). I use them mainly for watching DVD''s connected to Dennon 3802 and so far they performed well. Nice clean not overly bright sound with excelent details. They cope quite well with normal music listening but this part I was unable to test fully as my cd player died.

Strengths:
Clean sound Price Nice Design

Weaknesses:
Not for the price I paid

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.
