ONIX Reference 1

Simply the best speakers I have ever heard. These make me swear I am listening to different recording than I had earlier. People say these lack warmth and sound bright. I disagree. These are warmer and less bright than Infinity Beta's or anything Sony...

1. Bass is MUCH tighter than anything I've heard before ; 2. Treble is very revealing ; 3. Very well balanced, with no obvious flaws ; 4. Great build quality

1. Dynamics could be better. They lose a lot below 40db, but this could easily be my receiver ; 2. People swear the ref 1.8's sound better ; 3. My girlfriend says they sound "better" than my old speakers, but they didn't change her life ; 4. Lead to a...

Incredible crossover design in this 2-way system.Bass/mids/highs are very clean/pronounced/detailed.The speaker's soundstage is way too damn big for it's size, i'm still shaking my head when i hear some movies or recordings that have wide spacial...

OK we all read about the hype of certain speakers. I read it all and then took the plunge and bought these speakers from www.av123.com without hearing them first (I know a disaster waiting to happen ... not) what I got instead were a pair of great,...

Fantastic detail, great soundstage.Come alive on vocals, jazz and piano pieces.Great tight bass

Very detailed, if your source sucks , these will show it.Not the best for heavy metal rock. Sorry these are not party speakers
