Quite familiar with Rauna speaker line from 80's - Njord, Angela,Tyr, Lyra, etc. Strange names - may have misspelled some. They were too good to be true. But their heavy concrete enclosures made them a costly, impractical import from Sweden, and they just fizzled out; though Tyr is still available @ Rauna site. Pristine sound. SEAS drivers in the relatively infinite mass of concrete meant no cab resonance whatsoever. Perfect imaging, lightning fast transients, inaudible crossovers. I've used Tyr for 20 years w/ NAD 1300 pre, Hafler SE120 amp, Rega 3 with Ortofon X-3. As with most serious small monitors (6.5 mid/bass), a bit bass shy, but so accurate and well balanced that you only notice it in comparison to larger speakers. Nevertheless, the transient response can't be beat. I became a recording engineer in the 90's and used them to track and mix. High resolution of all timbres. They love jazz trios and cleanly recorded vocals.
