Test reports

Audio 12/1997 as well as 4/1998 and 12/1998 (profile, comparison): good, 75 points, upper class, 4 (!) ears. Quote from issue 12/98: "The sound is a perfect match for the shiny silver appearance: Slim, correct and rather unobtrusive in the bass range, the little giant gives itself in higher registers considerably filigree, transparent and airy, but not too exaggerated."

• Stereoplay 6/1998: Highlight. Sound very good, 23 points, (from summer 1998 new count: 46 points) price-performance outstanding.
