'MID PRICED SPEAKERS THAT LOOK GREAT AND SOUND CRISP.'
Strengths:
Sleek modern look.
Weaknesses:
Lacks bass at top end.
Overall:
I looked at some higher priced speakers but to be honest for the price these are the best speakers I could find of the size I was specifically looking for. Great overall sound quality and looks great without being overpriced. Nice.

'BRILLANT LOOKS AND EVEN BETTER SOUND'
Strengths:
They look just fantastic - beautiful lacquer finish on real wood veneers.
The sound is smooth, detailed and wide open. From cybals to bass guitar, from vocals to a full orchestra the reproduction has clarity without over emphasis.
Weaknesses:
You don't get heart stopping bass from such a small box. They need good quality amplification to sound at their best.
Overall:
I didn't believe that you could get so much quality from such a small speaker. Close your eyes and the sound envelopes you. You could listen to these speakers all day without fatigue. Truly remarkable at this price point.

'FANTASTIC BUILD QUALITY, EVEN BETTER SOUND'
Strengths:
These speakers exude quality from the moment you open the box, each speaker being packed in a white bag. The finish is superb, more what you'd expect after spending more than a grand rather than less than four hundred pounds.
Straight out of the box the soundstage is superb even without being fully run in yet they can still take my breath away.
Weaknesses:
None
Overall:
Fantastic value for money.

'SUPERB VALUE FOR MONEY'
Strengths:
Beautiful smooth, detailed and open sound. They look fantastic too with their high gloss real wood veneer.Considering the size the bass is pretty acceptable too.
Weaknesses:
They need partnering with a good amplifier to bring out the best in them.
Overall:
Incredible value for money.

'WONDERFUL BABY ELECTROSTATS'
Strengths:
Uncoloured
Weaknesses:
Need to run in at least 50 hours
Overall:
But seriously show the differences between players and amps, for me the most musical combination is with the Sugden A21a, even above the Quad 99 pre/power, music really touches you
(then!)
