Reviews[edit]
Hi, have had these speakers for years. Am not a technology freak though. The in many forums condemned mushrooms (tweeters) are in my opinion but the best thing about the boxes. The bass, on the other hand, is the worst. Nevertheless, everyone has praised the quality of these speakers.......and I have been totally satisfied with them for years! Especially in "normal operation" a very, very good sound is noticeable. However, if you want to organise a house party with these speakers, you should rather look for other speakers. They are really not suitable for that and probably not produced for that purpose. Greetings to the world.
The 4Pi tweeter is definitely the special feature of this speaker. Whoever appreciates the sound of this all-round radiator won't want anything else. Small further addition: the speakers have a comparatively low efficiency and are therefore demanding with regard to the upstream amplifier. (-) However, they are included in the speaker library of Cara (the room simulation programme) and can therefore be set up in the best possible way. (+) Replacing the speaker base alone increases the (bass) precision considerably. I used two 1 cm thick steel plates and had the holes and threads drilled. Then three bell bronze spikes each and the speaker is in a different league. (++) Conclusion: with a little tuning and careful setup this is a speaker that gives a lot of pleasure. And with that, greetings to the (hi-fi) world.
