Test reports

• Stereo issue 7/1996

The Control 1 (G) can be considered indestructible. This speaker can be turned up (almost) without end. The smaller, the bolder. Unbelievable, the speed and explosive dynamics of this small speaker. You can safely forget about low bass. However, the rest of the music sounds with such attack and conciseness that you can't get out of your amazement. The Control 1 is certainly a bit overbrilliant, but at the same time extremely obsessed with details and is really fun to listen to. Huge! ... Provided you can do without bass, you will hardly find a more explosive speaker."
