Test reports[edit]
The AR Chronos F17 impressed in the test with its finely drawn, highly resolved sound. This is not least due to the Super Tweeter, which enables true flights of fancy in terms of frequency. The bass range of the F 17 unfolds especially when placed close to the wall. And that's exactly how most people want to position their speakers, as inconspicuously as possible. If the brilliance in the high and overtone range is too much of a good thing, combine the F 17 with rather warm sounding electronics or tube amplifiers.
