Test reports[edit]

  • image hifi issue 1/2009 single test without final score

Quotation: "What pleases: Audibility, drive, pressure, thunder and dynamics at the highest level - and discipline. What's missing: the author space and penunces. Unfortunately."

  • stereoplay issue 3/2008 place 1/5 in the test

"very good" (84 points) Price / performance: "very good". Quote: "Ultra-modern noble floorstanding speaker with pressure chamber horn drivers and triple bass. Sounds wonderfully neutral for horns, achieves sensational dynamic values. A real pleasure!"

  • AUDIO Issue 1/2008 Single Test

"outstanding" (reference class; 103 points) Quote: "From the Klipschhorn the dynamics (almost) and the musical closeness, but without its problems and bitching, moreover, much nicer: The Palladium is an electro-acoustic tour de force, which I had not expected in this perfection. Plus: offers concert dynamics paired with exquisite balance; saves money when buying an amplifier. Minus: slightly more compact spatial presentation."

  • Area DVD Stereo Speaker Single Test May 20, 2008

Area DVD Reference: high-end class, price/performance ratio 8 out of 10 points. Quote: "The Palladium appears visually beautiful and spoils with a detailed, rousing and emphatic sound - the almost perfect construction and the associated high effort make the purchase price seem fair"
