Reports

Test report in English: hometheater

Audio 6/2004 Test excerpt:

"...under normal load the Ergo shows a fine tonal balance. At one moment it seduces with airy mids and trebles, at another moment it hits all the more powerful with cracking basses. The Ergo is not only about pure power. Much more importance is attached to structure and timbre - even in the lower registers. The spatial distribution is clearly structured in width and remains the same up to high levels. Only then does the sharpness of the sound become less pronounced. The excellently crafted Ergo 1002 combines outstanding sound with the irresistible appeal of undistorted, rich levels..."

Rating:

+ harmonious sound + perfect workmanship + exemplary connection terminal - could stagger further into the depth

Conclusion:

Elegant speaker with perfect workmanship and coherent sound from bass to treble.
