I bought these speakers as replacement to my FOCAL CHORUS 826V speakers, that suffered an accident (and I decided to sell them to a second-hand equipment buyer a couple of months before). Well, the experts may think that I understand nothing of sound, according to the reviews I see in specialized magazines, but I consider these AUDIO PRO BLUE DIAMOND V2 superior. I have in my hands one such magazine that ranks the FOCAL´s 10 points above them. Well, I´m not an expert, but I have been listening to music, live concerts and audio equipment all my life. I have been to demonstration rooms with equipment costing in the range of 5 or 6 digits (US dollars) that I obviously could not think of buying (For that money I could invite Mr. Daniel Baremboim himself to play at my leaving room, or maybe the Berlin Philarmonica). Well, back to Earth, those AUDIO PRO speakers were a great surprise. I confess I was a little worried when I discovered that the speakers I had bought in internet had each a sub-woofer! I suspected they were fit to home cinema, mostly. Then, I went to the retailer for a test drive. Well, it sounded very good. Therefore, I decided to keep them, took them home, connected to my MARANTZ SACD player and to a CAMBRIDGE AUDIO amplifier. Placed the CHOPIN NOCTURNES disc by daniel Baremboim, closed my eyes and .... ..... it was like listening to .... a very good equipment, of course. Nothing like the real thing (somenthing I could obtain only with those six-digit equipment) but definitly very superior to the FOCAL´s I had before. To me, it was not so big a surprise, since I had read some reviews with very good impressions about the AUDIO PRO, also. And of course I expected the 10-inches woofers of the AUDIO PRO´s to produce a better bass fidelity than any conjunction of 6 or 8 inches midaranges! Good that I didn´t followed those expert reviews, althougt I would not dispute their reasoning. They must have done specialized tests that I cannot do, and must have their arguments. But I go on very happy with my purchase.

the mid tones are a bit lacky...

superb bass and crisp discant, absense of mid-tones

wide Soundstage tweeter is very good

internal subwoofer makes vibrant Image

Its sound isn't warm but little cold so it's great to listen to cold-music like Enya. I hate internal subwoofer so much. It make a little vibrant "Image". I think Black Diamond is better.

Solid all around speakers that work well with movies as well as music. Good reproduction of sound without the worry of overly bright or bass heavy. High Gloss piano finish sets speakers apart from boring black fiberboard enclosures of other speakers in price range. No need for separate sub. Excellent spatial imaging.

Bass from subwoofer tends to dissipate from speaker not located near wall. Wish they were shielded so I could place them closer to television.

Great looking speaker with piano finish, once I turned off the awful blue neon light. For such high end speakers, why did they feel the need to give them dorm room effects. Use as front speakers for home video and as hifi speakers. The built in subs work good, but need adjusting to get even balance from both speakers. Speakers tend to sound better over time after break in period. Speakers also sound good at low levels as well as loader levels. Speakers are not colored and tend to sound truer to recordings which helps alleviate problems of adjusting receiver bass/treble levels for different types of music. When using in home video system, speakers require high end center channel speaker so voices do not get lost.

slight HUM coming from the sub-amp

These speakers sound great for music but are also excellent for movies. the built in subwoofers can produce awesome bass and can go very low +- 18hz and clear accurate sound. Crystal clear mids and correct highs.
