Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $1500.00

Summary:
These speakers are made in Switzerland, very small amount only for Europe. EV in America didn't have them in product line... so they can't be found in archieves.

I never heard a better speaker in this price range. These old speakers have a unique mid system just like Interface D's. A different box in speaker with a huge magnet (the same size with bass) and a reflex port! These amazing powerfull, mids are very detailed, accurate, soft, clear and very capable in timing.

The bass goes down to 25Hz deep... and every note can be heard accurately and clearly down there without boosting or distortion.

The high frequencies tend to be shiny sometimes but they fit well with soft and smooth mids. and they loose nothing in detail.

The orchestration of these speakers is not very well but the power, detail, accuracy and timing are not questionable.

They need to be raised up 25 - 30cm with stands and used with a soft amp. and CD player. The amp dosen't need to be powerfull because these speakers are 93db and can give what you want.

Strengths:
Power, detail, accuracy, timing, the perfect low frequencies, the unique mids and high frequencies... The best in this price range.

Weaknesses:
Heavy, big and old fashioned. The orchestration is not very good as other features...

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

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.
