Reports[edit]
- Audio Issue 2/2010
- Sound rating: 99 points
- "Tip: for large rooms"
- "The Geithain achieves the miracle of playing with presence even at five metres and still with a high-end open sound. Added to this are dynamics and a joy of playing that one would never have expected from a monitor manufacturer. The only downer: in the bass, everything really has to be right acoustically."
- Hörerlebnis Heft 72
- "All in all an elegant floorstanding speaker that cultivates true understatement and doesn't want to push itself unnecessarily into the foreground. However, this understatement is soon over when the ME 160 is fed with music of any genre. Then it really comes out, the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing ..."
