I strongly recommend these great little speakers, they are a very rewarding listen.
They are relatively small, but beautifully formed. The sound quality they are capable of really is
surprising considering their compact proportions. They are quite revealing, so kit with a slightly
smooth nature will partner them well, though they are by no means harsh.
Their forte is musicality, while there's no huge deep bass thump (as you would expect), what there is, is a revelation. The tuneful nature of the bass completely makes up for any lack of depth and presents a tight, solid, coherent and clear picture.The baseline (especially guitar) has more life and agility than I've heard from many a high end speaker, giving music almost an extra dimension.
Mid and upper ranges are beautifully rendered with some amazingly fine detail and an airy open
sound stage. They are capable of filling a medium sized room, but I've found them particularly good when listened to nearfield, well ahead of the sweet spot where there's a marked
increase in mass. I've done back to back comparisons with Kef, Mission, Kelly and Arcam speakers. For their size, finish, and not least, their totally involving sound, these little gems really shine. Very classy performers indeed.
Partner them with a quality source and sit back and enjoy your music.
