Reports

• Stiftung Warentest issue 1/2010; 2nd place out of 8: "good" (2.3).
  • "Pleasantly natural sound and clean, quite deep bass. Tweeter level modifiable via clamping bridge. High-quality workmanship. Tilts slightly."
• Audio Heft 11/2008; Rank 3 of 4: "good" (upper class; 73 points).

Price/performance: "very good".

• • "Plus: flexible treble adjustment, quite deep bass for the slim design.
  • Minus: seems a bit strained in complex passages."
• stereoplay issue 11/2007; 5 products tested: "good" (66 points).

Price/Performance: "very good". A slim floorstanding speaker with two-and-a-half-way circuitry and first-class workmanship. No level miracle due to size, otherwise wonderfully fine, cultivated and vivid."
