"BBC LS3/5A with built-in amplifier from Metallica to Kings of Convenience? Yes. Danish art, noble sound."

Sound: The tweeter is Esotar and that enables very fine and articulate highs. The control of the amplifier over the conusses is grand and the sound is tight & precise, also when played loud. Feature: XLR input, adjustable for high, mid and low frequencies and a low cut in 2 steps when you think you need a subwoofer. All very useful. Ease of Use: Just take a look at the features and you will know. Clear manual. Quality: The speaker is made for mixing in studio's, but I use it at home. It makes me think of BBC LS3/5a. But it plays much, much louder, and no breakup at all. What annoys me a bit is that when I put on another CD, I get within reach of 2 meters and then I notice a bit of hiss and hum coming from the speaker. I listen to music at a distance of 3 meters, then I can't hear that and as soon as the music plays, the hiss and hum are overruled. Value: Unbelievable value for the money. Amplifier and speaker for the price of an amplifier. Or a speaker. Manufacturer Support: No need for support until now, I only have them for a week. The Wow Factor: This speaker is really not big in its dimensions. That makes it easy to set up and also my wife likes the looks. And she is critical. Overall: I think this will be my pair of speakers for about six to eight years. By then Class D amplifiers will be so good, that I will change.

Style of Music: Alternative, rock, folk
