Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These days small effecient loudspeakers are the trend and there are few choices if you're old school and believe that size really does matter. Even though I was unable to find a dealer close by where I could audition these speakers, I gambled by going ahead and purchasing a pair anyway.
All things considered, I think they sound very good and believe that 8 out of 10 people would agree with me. The 2 that would'nt agree with me are most likely to be the super hi-fi connosisseur types with inflated egos and bank accounts. If its true that you get what you pay for, then I know that you can buy better sounding speakers. But I'm satisfied with the speakers performance.
The manufacturer doesn't state the minimum power requirements to drive these speakers, only that they handle 500 watts peak. Sensitivity is 96 db 2.83v/1m so they are fairly efficient 8 ohm impedance speakers. Keeping to the rule that its better to have more power than you need as opposed to not having enough power will cause you to drive your amplifier into a clipping wave signal, I would warn against driving these speakers with anything less than 100 watts rms per channel. Having said that, I am only using 120 watts rms per channel to drive my speakers and it seems to be sufficient power. (a little more would be better) Sometimes I like it loud and I never have to push the volume past the halfway point to reach the THAT'S LOUD ENOUGH level. Even at that volume the music is clear and pleasant sounding. The two 15 inch woofers don't seem to over power the midrange and tweeter, they just share the low frequency load equally so the bass isn't over worked where as one 15 inch woofer might start to distort and break up a bit when pushed. The speakers can be biamped, seperating the tweeter and midrange section to be driven by one amp and the two woofers by another amp. The enclosures have rear facing ports in a bass reflex design that help achieve a stated low frequency response down to 24 hz. That's almost impossible to accomplish in a box smaller than a double wide fridge. Even the single 15 inch woofer model CLS-15 is stated to have a 26 hz low frequency capability.
