Reports

• Digital Tested issue 2/2010; Rank 3 of 3: "good" (81%) Price/Performance: "good".
  • "Pros: balanced midrange; wide base width imaging.
  • Disadvantages: no spikes provided; lack of cabinet stiffening."
• Haus & Garten Test Heft 2/2011; Rank 7 of 8: "good" (2).
  • „... The external workmanship ... offers no cause for complaint. All corners and edges are cleanly worked and offer a serious, European appearance. In the listening test, depending on the music style, the impression of a reduced low bass transmission arose again and again. This may sometimes be considered a particularly tight bass, which in conjunction with the present tweeter is an advantage in very dense musical arrangements."
• Home electronics issue 1/2009; single test: "very good - excellent" "buy tip"
  • „... In the listening test, it doesn't show any signs of weakness, neither with demanding e-music nor with hard rock sounds, and appears balanced and very neutral in sound. Considering the beautiful and serious workmanship, it becomes clear that this likeable small box deserves a clear buy recommendation."
