I own two pairs of nOrh's the older 6.5 wood drum & the synth. marble 6.9. For what its worth I really have loved these & their price/performance ratio. The cabinets desighn is love/hate, but I think they are beautiful. It's hard to get much better driver quality then the VIFA/Scanspeak lines & the cross-overs have been desighned by same prominent outside engineers. Two words of advice though: the larger drum styles can be hard to place on many stands( they require wide bases) & they can be hazzardous around children or pets if knocked of (the 6.9's weight 50 lbs). The resale value has also been so-so, with about 50% depreciation on their marble series on the market it looks like. On the other hand, they are great value on the used market especially if you live locally and can avoid the shipping
Norh Speakers from Thailand: High-end or Hype??
I have occasionally seen the name Norh speakers mentioned on this website. They are unique looking if anything.They have a line of monitor-type speakers which use a marble cabinet and claim hi-end sound; nevertheless, I am more curious about their floorstanding speaker: Prism 6.9 which uses (the best) Vifa tweeter and Scanspeaker woofer. The description of these speakers on their website is hardly sophisticated or convincing. Also, they sell only mail order direct!! Are these speakers hi-end or hype???----FYI,the Prism 6.9 looks a bit like a pyramid on stilts. Has anyone owned or heard these speakers?? Need good input Thank you HNYear!!
