Hi, I've had these boxes for years. I am not a techie though. In my opinion, the damn mushrooms (tweeters) in many forums are the best thing about the speakers. On the other hand, cuts can be heard on the bass. Nevertheless, everyone still praised the quality of these boxes.......and I've been totally satisfied with it for years! Especially in "normal operation" a very, very good sound can be noticed. However, if you want to organize a house party with these boxes, you should rather look for other boxes. They are really not suitable for this and probably have not been produced either. Greetings to the world.

The 4PI tweeter is definitely the special thing about the loudspeaker. Anyone who appreciates the sound of these all-round spotlights doesn't want anything else anymore. Another small addition: The speakers have a comparatively low efficiency and are therefore demanding with regard to the upstream amplifier. (-) However, they are included in the speaker library of Cara (the room simulation program) and can therefore be set up optimally. (+) Just by replacing the pit foot, they gain a lot of (bass) precision. I used two 1 cm thick steel sheets for this purpose and had the holes or threads set for me. Then three bell bronze spikes in each and the box plays in a different league. (++) Conclusion: With a little tuning and careful placement, this is a speaker that gives a lot of pleasure. And with that also greetings to the (hi-fi) world.
