“It’s a wonderful speaker that fills my room with some of the most detailed, revealing sound that I’ve ever heard.”

“I totally get these speakers. I totally get who these are for. These are quite literally for everybody.”

Sound Quality & Performance

“Neutral doesn’t mean these aren’t exciting… you’re hearing your music through the source as it’s going to sound—true to the source.”

“It was clear, rich, really defined… a very deep, but also revealing speaker.”

“Top-to-bottom clarity and definition makes for a sense of wonderment.”

“Playing Beach Drifter from Ruffage Crew… it sounds absolutely massive and incredible on these speakers.”

Design & Build Quality

“This front baffle is 85 mm thick… the cabinet is made from multi-layered HDF with a satin paint finish.”

“These speakers are so gorgeous.”

“The speaker is so tall… it makes for the best overkill desktop proposition I’ve ever come across.”

Versatility

“You can use them in home theater, stereo, as surrounds, a center, or even on your desk.”
