Extremely natural,open and detailed. Strong punchy bass.

Horrible outdated looks, cheap spring-clips connectors.

This is probably the most musical speaker I've heard in my
own livingroom, yet. I went to a local HiFi-dealer to check out the Tannoy R2's and Dynaudio audience-40's and/or KEF-C35.
The Dynaudio sounded pretty good, so did the KEF's, finally
I heard the Tannoy R2's. I expected a lot of these speakers
since they were reviewed very well in different magazines.
Boy, what a dissapointment. It sounded ok, but then........
I saw those little ugly Klipsch speakers. I thought:"How can a Klipsch speaker be so cheap?" (only 300 Dutch guilders/about $150,-)
Just outta curiosity I hooked 'em up and wooow...now we're
talkin'! The sound was so natural and easy to enjoy. It
was very detailed and dynamic and also had a deep but controlled bass. The only drawback was it's horrible looks.
(H31-W22-D16,5 cm/black ash) Yikes.
But as soon as I heard them I forgot all about there looks.
These speakers dissapear and let you enjoy the music.
To me that's what a good, musical speaker is all about!
