3.0 out of 5 starsNot an audiophile slayer, beats the other cheap speakers out there...
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2021
These are good at $230, not good enough at $300. The fact is, with so many terrible products to be had at this price online, these are a great deal because you are guaranteed a good quality product and they look great. They are musical. But people classify these as audiophile quality at much less cost. So much so I bought a pair and tossed onto an Audio Research preamp, hand built tube amp, with cables that cost more than the speakers. I compared them to some DIY kit Dynavox from a popular vendor (which is also popular at this price point) and then against B&W 607s. Which are about double the price. These promise (or at least the reviews do) that level of sound at less money. My verdict, they do not. They are equal, maybe a tad better, than what you would build yourself from a high quality parts kit. The B&Ws simply wiped the floor with these, there is no way you can compare them. They aren't even playing the same game. But I want to recommend these, if this is your limit of budget, these are very good. If you're trying to save $300, don't. For the tech savy, some of the crossover capacitors are electrolytics, not all film or metallized polymer. A sure fire quick upgrade - probably should have been done at the factory though. I like and am keeping these for my workshop, my biggest complaint is people say these give you audiophile sound for $300 that $600-$1500 dollar speakers do... and they simply do not. Very pleased with the product at the price, would recommend with the cautions above heeded sincerely.
