Strengths: Precise imaging and capable of throwing a holographic soundstage, astounding bass extentsion for such a small cabinet. The sound of vocals and instruments are forward but not bright and very detailed. The high frequencies are well extended without any hints of nasal congestions. Lively, toe-tappering and very low colouration. Great upgrading from my B&W DM 303.
Weaknesses: None at the price, unless you compared it to something like the B&W 805 or Dynaudio Focus 110.
Overall: Tuneful and lively little speaker with big soundstage and deep bass that work perfectly well in a small or medium size room.
Weaknesses: Not a huge amount of bass but acceptable for the size of the cabinet.
Overall: An excellent speaker with all types of music, they can be subtle, but they can also blast out dance or rock. I use these as rears with Dynaudio Audience 122's & 122c at the front and the sound is superb.
Strengths: Everything from bass through the midrange to the treble.
Weaknesses: Nothing given the size and the price as long as your amp is up to it.
Overall: The speaker may be small but the sound is huge. Bass goes deeper than expected (though does benefit from a quality musical sub) and is fast and tuneful. The midrange is clear and natural and the treble is sweet. I originally had a 40 wpc Rotel RA01 which was adequate but when I upgraded to the RA03 at 70 wpc the speakers took on a new life. With rock they did just that (and they go loud), and with gentle classical every nuance came through. Set up the speakers on quality stands with a little toe in and the soundstage and imaging is as good as your amp will allow. You need a considerably more expensive system or a cavernous room to justify spending more.
Strengths: Fast tuneful bass, neutral midband and clear top end. Fine imaging and detail.
Weaknesses: Low sensitivity and impedance means a top quality and powerful amp works best.
Overall: Who would have thought such tuneful deep bass could come from such a small box. A great buy and a massive upgrade from my £160 Mission 760's. Highly recommended.
