REVIEW

driver and the bass reflex design, paired with a very well-implemented 6.5” woofer just serves up sound very, very well and with no clear weakness at any point on the frequency curve. There is precision and clarity, a coherent dimensionality, and believability to these speakers. Positioning them isn’t a fussy affair, but spend the minutes to get it just right and they fall away behind the music, avoiding colouration or over-voicing, but never veering into sterility.

At this price point, you are getting a lot of high-quality speaker for your money.

At A Glance

Build Quality:

Lovely craftsmanship, port and horn design, and good materials are evident both visually and sonically

The finish is lovely and they are quite a statement to look at

Even the spikes are robustly put together and well thought out

Sound Quality:

Impactful, deep, and tuneable bass with incredible transparency and dynamic, 3-dimensional, honest reproduction in the mid and higher registers without fatiguing or straining

Value For Money:

Combining materials, design, and capability across the board the price point is sound

We Loved:

The musical engagement all around, unexpectedly powerful bass, smooth mid/highs even when pushed, aesthetics, imaging, easy pairing and efficiency.

We Didn’t Love So Much:

Absolutely nothing at this price.

Elevator Pitch Review: If you are seeking a carefully and competently designed, natural, transparent, immersive, and highly engaging loudspeaker that delivers across the board, isn’t fussy about solid state or valve amplification and your budget is around £5000 then these should be near the top of your must-hear list.

Price: Current MSRP of £5250/pair in the UK for the standard, Walnut, or Cherry veneer (other options coming soon I believe)
