Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $199.00 from The Great Indoors

Summary:
Well i recently had the Kef compact Qs. A very nice speaker. I then heard these but they were better. They were the same price at 299 until i learned they were being discontinued at the price of 199. So i decided to return the Kefs, and buy these save 100 dollars in the process. For 200 bucks it's a great deal. At first i was expecting it to sound a bit weird. However that was not the case. The soundstage as could be expected was massive in scope. The imaging was good if not great but that's forgiveable. I would say these are fairly bright but i haven't broken them in yet. My kefs had more bass, but these seem to have a more spacious and airy sound. The depth to classical and in hall recordings is wonderful. The build quality is good with a few iffy veneers where the plastic meets mdf. I would recommend these be mated with a subwoofer. If you like the sound of dipoles (electrostatics, magneplanars) and bipoles you'll like this sound too.

Strengths:
Massive soundstage Very airy treble Solid midrange Not boomy bass

Weaknesses:
Bass response too weak( can't expect good bass from a bookshelf) Not so great imaging.

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.
