Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $690.00 from 11/2007

Summary:
I have them pluged with a Yamaha RX-797 and a Marantz CD5001. They sound very natural with a very good stereo image. Someone can understand the different instruments very easy. They like "natural" instruments and human voices. They sound smooth and "sweet" and at the same time uncolored. They are very detailed and the bass is deep and enough. They can be placed near the walls. I have them 14cm away from the back wall and they are just great. They have 3d sound as long as the recording is good. There is a specific song that I can listen to the music to generate 3m away from the left speaker at the height of my left ear on the wall. Amaizing!! There is another song that I can "feel" the chord of the bass guitar to vibrate!! Great choice!

I don't think that there is a better speaker at this price level.

Strengths:
Detailed, natural, smooth, 3d sound, deep bass, beautiful construction.......

Weaknesses:
None!

I have listened to Klipsh, B&W, Audio Spectrum, Monitor Audio, Crystal Audio, Bose, Mission, Yamaha, Onkyo.

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

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.
