Strength:
price, quality and little to men who prefer saving place for Records
Weakness:
To spend time to find good elements to drive and to place Wonderful Speakers if well managed. Just one advice : try different places solutions with your place of listening but above all let them Breathe ! The bass is really effective and very clean if you don't put them directly on stands but only if you put them on "cones" AND on good stands. So it could be wonderful. To believe that, put a good record (stravinsky by ansermet, bartok by vegh, beggars banquet... LP's or CD's) and listen a speaker on stand and suddenly with it (il will be sufficient to prove, don't try with both of them !) in your arms. The difference is significative. It will be more when you put it almost "in the air", so on light metallic "cones" and - but that is more subjective - with a (not so good because you have to read it, so not with Kafka, Platonov, Melville or Tolstoï, but with Nothomb, Roth... yes but to be serious with a big and heavy book of Painting, it's better) book between stand and "cones".

Strength:
Great soundstage, used speakers low-priced
Weakness:
weaknesses??? First of all, I must say that I miss my ProAc Super EBT (extended bass tablette) in this rewiews. I''m using 5 of them in my 7.1 home-theatre-system as surround- and center-speakers, together with the ProAc SuperTower as mainspeakers. The tablette is said to have a too weak bass, these don''t!! The next pair I can get is of course for my best friend, who wants to buy mine weekly. Similar Products Used: never since my first ProAcs!! |

I agree with these first two assessments: they're great speakers. Mine are the Response One upgrades, however. & I have a Carver True Sub-Woofer crossed over at 50Hz. My pair took forever to break in (100 hours) during which time they were all over the map. But really worth it ! I agree they seem slightly warm in the mid-bass, esp on a record like Double-Bass Delights, or the 25th Anniversary of the Double-Reed society. But overall they are terrific, esp on voices, and esp on instrumental timbre. Mine are about 4 feet out from the rear wall & they produce a wonderfully deep sound stage, with the music sometimes coming way out into the room. Really an education in Hi-Fi at a modest price. The Aerial NT10s and the Hales are similar in sound quality. The Egglestons are incredibly hollow-sounding by comparison, which bears out the "warmth" "fullness" feeling. |

Strength:
Incredible soundstage an imaging
Weakness:
shy in the bass, but goes good with a subwoofer Well, after 20 years and over 20 pairs of Audiophile speakers, and 3 Stereo Shows, I am once again awed at the sound of these little guys. To say that they are amazing is a real understatement. Besides disappearing, the tonal quality of the instruments and the palpable relaity of voices make them an unusual if not scary speaker. I have listende to hundreds of speakers, and these almost invisible Similar Products Used: Apogee slant6, Martin logan CLS, Audio Concepts sapphire II |

Le uso nel mio secondo impianto (Meridian 506/20, 551, Cavi Shynpy) e in posizione non ottimale (dentro una libreria). Confrontate con casse di valore anche di molto superiore si sono sempre dimostrate quelle dal suono più naturale. |

Are you still reading this? Go buy a pair of these gems before the stocks run out! They've been discontinued recently, so you'll get a pair of classics. GO! NOW! |
