  3. “They sound awesome… I just absolutely adore the speaker.”
  4. “Them being sort of two and a halfway speakers… I hear more of the upper mid-range of that kick coming through.”
  5. “There’s great transient definition, enough sparkle, but without any sharpness.”
  6. “This hits just as hard [as dual SVS 3000 micros] and is a single box.”

Music Listening Experience
