I got these loudspeakers as a present from my grandpa back then, as I was always very fond of music and he wanted to encourage that. What luck! These speakers had convinced me immediately after connecting them to my amplifier: Clear treble reproduction, smooth mids and a quite impulsive bass... what more could you ask for. I have used the speakers for over 6 years and can recommend them to everyone. In the meantime I'm a sound engineer and switched to the Karat 920, which is only a 2 way system. Of course, like the Quinto series, they are "only" hi-fi speakers, but they are very good ones.
