Strength:
You have read them in the other reviews.
Weakness:
Fingerprints on the pianofinnish. OK...I'm a Finn and the speaker comes from Sweden, from our beloved enemy (ice hockey)! So this is quite a lot sayd from a Finn...you can spend a HECK of a lot more money, BUT THE SPEAKER JUST WON'T GET ANY BETTER! Similar Products Used: Sony,Tandberg,OR(*2),JBL and some others. |

Strength:
Deep bass level, details, brightness and large sound spectrum, air flow port on the downside of the speaker making it easy to find the right placement. Stereo picture and the placement of the instruments is just too good for that pricelevel! Nice look and of course, the pair of white gloves that follows with each speaker!
Weakness:
The cabinett with no resonance at all makes the speaker almost too neutral. Playing lot of bass makes the middle/high frequencies disappear for a moment, not easy to hear, but the lack of separate middlefrequency-speaker is sometimes hearable (?). Very controlled sound makes the music sound lifeless with low-quality amp/cables/source. What can I say? If you´re watching for a good buy in the big loudspeaker-world, take a look at those nice high-finish black speakers. They look great and sound like many speakers in the middle high-end area. Almost too good to believe... classical music, jazz, blues and acoustic will blow your ears if you own nice amp... I like the way those speakers make the cd-source sound like the old good LP... high details and good control on all frequencies (25-22000).

Strength:
The sound, incredible for that money!
Weakness:
Take care not to scratch the floor, the spikes really are sharp... Canton much more expensive and I prefer the fast bass of Black Diamond. Blue Diamond slightly better (for some kind of music) but not for all. Similar Products Used: Evaluated Canton RCL, Dali Evidence 470, Audio Pro Blue Diamond and numerous others, but the price/performance is unbeatable! |

Strength:
I love this speaker for its detailed, transparent sound. Being a guitarplayer myself, I always get chills down my back when I listen to the accurate reproduction from any of my favorite recordings. I think this speaker is optimal if you're into acoustic/vocal music, altough I'm sure it can handle anything I throw at it.
Weakness:
For those of you that need that extra "thump" in the bass, I would consider the Blue diamond. Or do as I did: hook your Black Diamond up with the B2.27 (Audio Pro subwoofer) for the FULL picture. The obove mentioned combo plays better than any of the $1600 speakers I listened to today. Do yourself a favor and listen to these babies. |

Strength:
Precise sound reproduction, good value, good looks
Weakness:
Fingermarks at the finish are inevitable. This was my first step into the high-end world of audio, and one thing is certain.. I have to replace the rest of my equipment a soon as possible. The speakers reproduces every weakness in it. My CD-player humms, my amplifier hisses, and my cables filters the treble. Similar Products Used: B&W 603 S2, Dali 5005 |
