Choosing speakers has always been one of the most critical decisions for anyone wishing to build or upgrade an audio system. It’s a commonly held belief among the cognoscenti that choice of Audio Speaker has the most profound effect on the success of any system – more so than the choice of source component or amplification. True, the elements have to be compatible, but the contrast between a good Audio Speaker and a bad one at any price point is transparently wider than with any other system component. In a market crowded with Audio Speakers, and with auditions inevitably limited to a few brands, it’s much easier to choose wrong than to choose right. The brand that consistently delivers excellence in driver, cabinet, electronic and acoustic design to get closer to real fidelity in any given system is the one, which will inspire recognition in an audience and be acclaimed as very special.
