Norh Speakers from Thailand: High-end or Hype??

I have occasionally seen the name Norh speakers mentioned on this website. They are unique looking if anything.They have a line of monitor-type speakers which use a marble cabinet and claim hi-end sound; nevertheless, I am more curious about their floorstanding speaker: Prism 6.9 which uses (the best) Vifa tweeter and Scanspeaker woofer. The description of these speakers on their website is hardly sophisticated or convincing. Also, they sell only mail order direct!! Are these speakers hi-end or hype???----FYI,the Prism 6.9 looks a bit like a pyramid on stilts. Has anyone owned or heard these speakers?? Need good input Thank you HNYear!!

I have never heard them, but know of at least 1 person that favors the Model 9. I would suspect that they are very good.

You will find many users and information at www.harmonicdiscord.com or www.audiocircle.com

The first will have some reviews of the different speakers and both will have a manufacturers forum for questons. I have heard about six models in their line and own the SM 6.9's. Everything is pretty much what people say about them. The drums do provide a very huge sound stage and the wood speakers are very beautiful.

If you live anywhere close to Lima, HO, they will be at the Midwest AudioFest in April. I think they even may be going to CES.

I have two pairs of the NORH drum style speakers. A pair of older 5.0 and a newer pair of the synthetic 6.9. I was so impressed with the 5.0 that I bought the 6.9s (white)which have been in my main system for over a year; relegating my B&W floorstanders to my HT system.

What more can you ask for in a speaker? Rich(no glare)treble, true, controlled bass, efficient, non-fatiguing. I am driving mine with a set of mono-block ASL 1006DTs (100wpc/6550)(obviously no strain).

The workmanship is excellant and the delivery process is actually easier than trying to get something from Canada.

System: Empire 698 (Grado); SFL-1se; ASL-1006DT; NORH 6.9sm; Audioquest cables; Brickwall conditioner.

I don't know about the hype (actually you can go to harmonicdiscord.com for all the hype you want) but I simply could not be more pleased.

Not involved in any way with NORH (or anybody else). Just a very pleased owner.
