A benchmark product!

 

I had been curious about these speakers for quite a while. I found a pretty decent deal on them & decided to bite the bullet. Glad that I did! The first thing that catched you with these speakers is how visually stunning they are. They are true works...

Performance Exceptional As Expected

They just sound great

 

I have owned the HK Soundsticks II for a number of years and enjoyed them thoroughly, but I thought it was time for an upgrade. I decided to try using an older 65w NAD receiver and purchased some $300 Polk bookshelf speakers and a Polk sub to be used...
