The different versions of their dual concentric driver have similar, if not identical, sound and imaging characteristics.I have owned three ... | |
| Best Speaker for classical music Dkarmeli,Personally, I usually try to avoid commenting on audio components I have never heard, let alone (probably) never heard of. But I understand your hesitation - I had similar doubts and questions for the designer, Mikael Richel, when I first... | |
