Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I think these are kinda ugly now, but they sounded so amazing and looked so cool 4 years ago I HAD to get them.

Strengths:
They sound more like perfection than anything reasonably priced, and better than a few t hings that aren't so reasonably priced either.

Weaknesses:
They take a lot of power to sound thier absolute best. And like I said, you might think they're ugly after a few years.

Summary:
I've seen this speaker and isn't the 'box' some sort of ceramic?

Review 3 of 8

Summary:
My fiancee and I purchased these about a month ago. They sound so good I have to have them on -playing something- all the time! I previously had a pair of Paradigm Eclipse speakers (highly regarded I beleive) but had to replace them with something smaller. The Vö's are a lot smaller but have much bigger sound! Vocals sound so natural, even better than the Nautilus 804s which were second best. The Bass is really amazing. I'm not a big fan of bass usually, but the Achamadden 9.1's are so musical with it.

I wouldn't normally come to a site like this, but I'm just so impressed with my purchase I had to tell someone! :)

These speakers would not be great for an apartment or a small room. They're also insanely expensive. Costs aside these are the PERFECT speakers!

Strengths:
Bass, mids, highs, styling

Weaknesses:
price, styling

Expensive, poor customor service.

Review 5 of 8

Summary:
I bought these speakers when I auditioned them - they blew all the other speakers I had listened to (above) away! They didn't have the over analitical sound of the NHT and Theils, but were more detailed than the Paradigms. The PSBs didn't have any life to them and the B&Ws were NOT a good value (they look much cheaper than they are, in Canada at least). The Vo's were perfect from the bottom to the top and also aren't picky about electronics and placement. The store was using Marantz monoblocks, I use a Bryston - they sound great with both!

I got mine for $5500 CND, a bit on the expensive side. But I think I've found the perfect speaker.

Strengths:
Strong Punchy BASS, Faultless midrange, Crystal highs. Attractive too.

Weaknesses:
High price, odd size.

Similar Products Used:
B&W 605 s2, NHT 3.3, Paradigm Referecne Studio 100, PSB Gold i, some Theil model.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

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

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

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.
