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...

The K7 is a neutral monitor in the true sense. It is the smallest in the Snell's new series 7 line. The K7 is designed to perform, regardless of placement, and integrate with most decor. Based on newly developed, high performance drivers from...

Anthony Gallo Acoustics' speakers had me thinking about the old Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. If you'll recall, after Humpty took a nasty fall and was smashed to pieces, all of the king's horses and men could never make him whole again. Following my...

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...

Just when I thought speaker designers could focus 100 percent of their talents on creating the best-sounding speakers, flat-screen TVs came along and created a burgeoning market for ultrasvelte plasma-friendly speakers. Anything other than the most...

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...

But no speaker line can survive indefinitely. Audiophiles, like most consumers, are constantly looking for the new and different. And the competition is especially fierce in the high-end, where each sale is far more than a blip in a manufacturer's...

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 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 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 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 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 try my best to write in english. I bought a pair of these JBL Ti6K speakers in Sweden over a year ago for aprox. $ 2300 (price for pair). They look expensive and they sound expensive. New price in sweden is aprox. $ 5000 (pair) so I made a good deal...

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,...

It's always enjoyable to audition high-end speakers, particularly when they come in an attainable $3,500 package. Like fine wines, they're almost always pleasurable and display individual traits.

Corporate strategy usually calls for applying technological innovation first to high-priced flagship products sold in boutique stores and then eventually have it trickle down to mainstream-priced products sold in the "box" chain stores. Sounds like a...

I bought this pair brand new off of eBay about a year ago for my son to use in his stero system. I got a fantastic deal on them through ebay as my quited price included shipping, and they sound VERY nice. Full, powerful bass that you wouldn't think...

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.

Flat-panel TVs—and the speakers that love to be with them—receive such obsessive attention from the press that you'd think all other forms of video display—and the speakers that love to be with them—had disappeared. Jamo has fed the trend with their...

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...
