The CSC55 was measured on a 6-foot stand, which gives anechoic results to approximately 200 Hz. Except for the subwoofer, all measurements are taken at a full 2 meters, which emulates a typical listening distance, allows the outputs of large speakers...

A year ago I reviewed Infinity's terrific- sounding $749 TSS-750 surround speaker system, and it quickly became one of my favorites in its price class—a surefire recommendation for entry-level surround sound systems. But much though I admired that...

Out of the box, these speakers had an unusually rich, robust, beautiful sound, an authority, a majesty even, that greatly impressed me. Unlike some other recently touted and really expensive big speakers that, to these ears, have sounded dead and...

The Meridian D2500 Active Sub Woofer is designed to bring you the highest quality sound possible, whether as part of an enhanced stereo system or a full home theatre system. Using a 200-watt amplifier wired directly to twin 10-inch woofers in active...

Even if Thiel hadn't given their new subwoofer line the slick name of SmartSub, I'd still say most subwoofers are stupid. Make that stoopid. Granted, I've had some good ones in the last few years, and that's no accident, since no reviewer would...

First-generation THX blossomed in the high-end sphere. The first companies to make THX-certified speakers were already making great ones, with or without certification. Even now, the list of THX speaker makers reads like an industry honor roll. That...

I've used these occasionally for the last several years, attached to an old CD player in my office, but I recently set them up properly. Source: Apple lossless itunes files and older mp3s. Card: Assus Xonar Essence STX, Amp: Virtue Audio. The speakers...

Here's a tip for home theater newbies: Don't shop for speakers using just your eyes. That advice holds true for any speaker, regardless of size or price; when it comes to what we euphemistically refer to as "lifestyle" speakers, though, please try to...

A while ago I wrote a preview of these little speakers. At the time, I was really looking forward to getting a test pair. Thanks to the friendliness o...

I agree with the previous reviewer. A great speaker for the money. Good across the frequency range, perhaps a bit midrange forward; excellent and airy, detailed tweeter and very supportive bass. If you have room space limitations, these speakers...

I don't think I've ever before referred to a speaker as "sexy," but Sonus faber's new Domus line is definitely hot stuff. Yeah baby, the Domus Series' enticing curves—sheathed in supple black leatherette, poised on spiked feet—will get audiophiles all...

I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with these speakers even though I did not have the ability to audition them. They have a nice piano finish on top and bottom. They have a small footprint compared to my previous vega vs-120s. They also have...

I think it's time we revived the old maxim that speakers are the most important part of an audio system. Yes, DVD players, A/V receivers, pre/pros, and power amps all play crucial roles, but speakers give you a bigger shot at personalizing your sound....

I have been astonished by these speakers ever since bringing them home ($10 on CL). I don't even feel like I have to start this review with "they're great for their size". They're simply amazing even when compared to larger speakers. I have to add that...

I remember when Ferraris and Maseratis topped out around 400 ponies, but, nowadays, that much oomph is available in Ford Mustangs. Blisteringly fast rides have never been cheaper, and, over in the consumer electronics world, the speed with which...

I recently (as a matter of fact I wrote the post below this one) posted in regard to my Linn Kan V's and how much I enjoyed them; as well as how there was much hype made over the earlier Linn Kan speakers, which many Kan owners recommended over -- as...

Not much to add to the other reviews. But from the perspective of a vinyl lover I could not be happier. If you are looking for great highs and middles and smooth deep bass for your LPs these can't be beat.

When I received the call to review PMC's OB1, CB6, GB1, and TLE1 home theater loudspeaker system, I was excited. The British company enjoys a stellar reputation throughout the professional audio community, and prominent clients, including Dolby Labs,...

the other review is from someone who has a tin ear, doesnt own s50s, never REALLY listened to good speaks, or all the above. The status line of AR speakers were top notch when they were in manufacture. sound is exceptional, good bass for a 6.12 inch...

The speakers in my walls are probably more expensive than the paintings many art lovers have on theirs. That's because good sound is important to me. Fine art is wonderful, but I get as much pleasure from accurate loudspeakers as an art lover gets from...

The cornerstone of the Helicon system is the floorstanding model 400. This 2.5-way design houses a matched pair of ox-blood red 6.5" drivers (one bass, one mid/bass) each in its own ported chamber. These are Dali's latest coated wood-and-paper-fiber...

The purity and clarity of the sound of the Megalines are related to their enormous dynamic range; they have very low distortion when they're just loafing along. The Megalines are a two-way speaker turned sideways, so there's an optimum angular...
