Review 1 of 9

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I have the 3.5 in my listening room along with a perfectly matched MF nu-vista super intergrated amplifier and 3d cd player, the amplifier is 250w per channel into 8ohms and the proacs are perfectly matched, i have had many speakers but the 3.5 is bliss, this speaker despite only having two 6.5" woofers has so much bass response its unbelievable, they have superb speed and dynamics, far better than anything i have ever heard, trying to put accross how good these are is useless in words, you realy have to hear them for yourself if your lucky enough to ever do so, be warned though if you have back problems do not try and move these 70kg speakers yourself, it took me a while to toe these in just to get them right but boy are they superb, to hear a speaker that actualy creates a sound that you cannot place where the music is coming from is truly magicle, shut your eyes and you are there in the crowd infront of the live performance.

I further improved the resonance by making some isolation platforms out of 38mm mdf with bevelled edges and sprayed them with ten coats of satin black paint, they have done the job marvelous and also look the part with the speakers being light veneer, they do require a pretty large room to get the best out of them, and as they are over 50" high also requires them to be in a pretty large room.

Review 2 of 9

Price Paid:  $5400.00

Summary:
I've owned these speakers for at lease 6 years. they are great speakers to my ears. Every time I've improved other components in my system the sound of my speakers vastly improves. Added Tekna speaker vibration control devices on them. Improves the sound even more.

Strengths:
Outstanding bass and midrange. Very dynamic.

Weaknesses:
Only as good as the rest of your system. Big sacifice $$$ for me. Worth it. Has to go to 18k or more to better the sound.

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.....

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.
