  • "High-class sounding and excellent looking speaker without airs and graces."
• Stereo Heft 1/2006; Rank 2 of 6: Sound level: 80%.

Price/Performance: "very good" (3 out of 5 stars)

• • "...sonically a real pearl. Especially their enormous three-dimensionality and the resolution in the higher registers are just great. Booming bass and sudden dynamic attacks, on the other hand, are not their thing."

stereoplay issue 10/2005; single test: "good - very good" (76 points); price/performance: "very good":

• • "Beautifully shaped, solidly finished floorstanding speaker with aluminium ribs and cast cabinet. Strikingly neutral sound with remarkable precision. A sound sculpture for friends of incorruptible monitor qualities."
• Area DVD 5/2006; single test: "Reference" Price/Performance: 10 out of 10 points, "Masterpiece".
