What a great set up.... in about a fourth of the space it should have. I literally get anxious looking at it. 

You?

They got a better deal than most. They got a good sound as a bonus with the looks they like. You cannot beat that.


I do not have McIntosh anything and have no problem with autoformers either.

Impressive display of wealth.  Sound-wise, I'll bet my 10k system blows this one away!  (Caveat:  my system in my room).

It's all about the acoustics of the room and speaker placement!  This system seems to commit every sin in the book.
Has anyone else noticed the Ortofon cartridge box on the centre mid shelf, but no turntable in sight?

Can you imagine, how those 64 x midranges and 40 x tweeters could possibly all work in perfect unison without any smearing at all??? they’d have to be ultra matched not to.

From a reviewer " these speaker didn't quite convey the intimacy or focus of say a traditionally well engineered two way system in a near-field environment,"
