Deviating information from the advertising of JWS :

"... With the Poseidon, JWS offers a box that stands out from the environment due to some unusual design features. In terms of sound, their main advantages lie in bass reproduction with impressive volume, a certain basic tonality and unobtrusive highs." (Excerpt from the review in the HiFi-Stereophonie 11/81)
