I have not heard it, but know quite a bit about it. You probably already know the bass is rather limited. It's a single speaker that throws off left and right channel signals--so it's kind of unusual in that sense. It would seem to me that set up would require uniform reflections on left and right side to get reasonable stereo image. Obviously it's a lifestyle statement piece--a sculpture in a sense that also delivers sound. I would be very curious of anyone that owns one what sort of issues they have had with placement and if they can acheive any kind of imaging and soundstage, but somehow I think it's not the person on this forum that would buy a single speaker to project 2 channel stereo. I could be wrong though.

I am a road warrior, have a pro touring company, and travel 200,000 air miles a year supporting many live shows. I am always in the hunt for great sounding and petite equipment when I am killing time in hotels. Have owned these for a year. The entire product line rocks. Works well with MP3s--pitch perfect with an Apple iPod or Apple laptop. I like the 5's over the twos--fuller, richer sound. You should also look at Blue Sky Audio's EXO product. Has a better nearfield soundstage, is a serious musician/studio product, and you get 150 watts divided by 2 speakers and a subwoofer. Sold through Guitar Center. Perfect for a small room that is den proportions. I got mine wholesale for $200 and none of my musician friends can believe the quality. I also like the Logitech mm50--best portable docking station--$100 and blows away everything else I have heard--just throw in a backpack and go. I own all three. Can personally endorse all three as best in class for the money. For my tastes, like the Blue Sky more for sound--very neutral with better defined bass. Hip Hop sounds fantastic on them. |
My mistake. My comments were completely off. I was thinking of this speaker which is the "art engine" |
