Test reports

• was tested in Stereoplay 09/2000 as part of the test "The 12 world's best compact speakers". Test result "Very good"
• was tested in STEREO 12/1997 in the "High-End-Class" with a rating of 75% (for comparison: B&W Nautilus 805 (2.200,-€) 82% ). Verdict: Excellent; "The loudspeaker for the analytical listener: the fast ceramic dome tweeter detects the finest details with extreme contrast, the Vintage 710 is just as clean and contoured in the bass and midrange. The omnidirectional sound distribution is also perfect. The tendentiously bright timbres speaker demands good electronics and is a sound magnifier for thrilling musical experiences due to the bread-dry bass dynamics and razor-sharp resolution."
