    Simply Outstanding

    Simply outstanding! The power it can output alone and punch from it is impressive. The voices have depth. Clear. Realistic. It literally is better than the theaters! My daughter loves listening to Youtube music on it. I do have 2 matching Martin Logan left and rights so it blends perfectly. Worth every penny. It's 100 times better than I thought it would be. I've got a marantz 140 Watts per channel powering it. I run it at 70 on the volume meter. Any higher it's too loud for my room!

    Clarity flows into your ears.

    Whatever goes into the microphone comes out of this speaker. It is clear as your source material is. I paired it with Morrow Audio SP2 cable. Driven by a Marantz receiver. It's a little wider than a component on a shelf so it took some rearranging. Give it the most important space, it deserves it. Because it's electrostatic it comes with an AC/DC adapter.
