Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I was surprised to find these speakers at a relative''s house overseas. At first, I didn''t know what they were...Lowthers? Altecs from the 50''s? I turned them on and was transported by the realism of the speakers. It was one of the most musical speakers I had ever heard...every characteristic that makes a speaker sound like real music was there...accuracy, balance, transients, weightiness and delicacy, etc. I knew the front end was not helping that much. The source was either a Sony Laserdisc player or Sony CD player (not even ES). The amplification was Quad 44+606. These speakers were hungering for higher quality power, but it still managed to sing. When I returned to America, I looked up these speakers...ouch, they are way too expensive! You get a lot of speaker for the money, in terms of size and weight. However, I can''t help thinking they are too much money...though I can''t think of a half-price speaker that would give you the same sound! 8) Strengths:
Sheer realism and musicality Weaknesses:
I found out how much they cost! Similar Products Used:
Thiel and ProAc floorstanders...but they are not really comparable.
