I have listened to these loudspeakers at 3 different HiFi shows. To me they produce what seems to be an uncontrolled mass of woody & papery sounding resonances. However, I haven't heard them being played in conjunction with a more normal sounding pair of loudspeakers so can't comment on what effect they might have then. Used on their own, I don't think they are suitable for listening to music as they impart far too much of their own character on the sound heard.


Hello Guy

Our paths did cross many many years ago in Brighton at what I think was called Definitive Audio, and I respect your opinion. I have yet to find any speaker that does not impart some of its own character on the music. These speakers are undergoing improvement right up till last week.

For me the selling features include an absence of boxiness, fast dynamics but most importantly in this context the ability to play music like a musical instrument - sympathetic coupling to the room, rather than fighting it. Very different from anything I have heard before and likely to polarise opinion. As the vendors say it takes just a few minutes to know if you love or hate the sound. I love it, (not enough to replace my horns!) but in the context of layered sound it could be a leap forward similar to that I experienced when I discovered horns and valves.
