This is a great speaker for the price - £499 reduced to £299 when I bought mine in the late 90s. A professional review of around that time rated them as "good", just below the top rating of "best buy" - this was at £499.
I bought them to provide tv sound, and for background sound in my sitting/dining room, together with items discarded from my "real hifi", and they have performed very well - always showing the benefit of upgrading and the qu...

Picked this up on ebay for £350 in mint condition with original packaging. The amp is bright as you would expect but not brash and running through Monitor Audio Bronze speakers has plenty enough bass for most types of music, the 2 channel system also being used for watching films. Looks great with the floating chassis design and very well built with a sleek high end appearance. Remote is perfectly usable and the amp makes an audible click when ch...

I have had a lot of different bookshelf Hi fi speakers over the years, including Castle acoustics, JPW's and other Wharfedales, but these are undoubtedly my favourites. Treble is very clean, and the Bass lacks the boominess that bookshelf bass refllex speakers are prone to exhibit. But the most remarkable aspect of is the stereo imaging. The speakers just disappear, and both instrumental and voice performances area amazingly detailed. I would n...

Been into electronics, and Hi-Fi in particular, for over 50 years now. My KA 8150 is so old it might be living on borrowed time, but still sounds amazing. Currently it is connected to a pair of Sansui SP 7300 speakers on one output, and my own home-made units on the other output.
Because the frequency response of the two pairs of speakers isn't identical, you tend to get a unique effect, especially because the speakers are in the corners of t...

I bought these used, complete with LFAU, way back in 1996, apparently mine were the originals demonstrated at various European hifi conventions in late 89 and 1990's.
We have a large living room 50sqM and simply put they are definitely full range down to 20hz that you can feel at high volumes and transparent in the sound field. They are complex for an amp to drive and you absolutely need a high current capable amp, forget t...

Incredible quality for the money, paid 10 dollars for the receiver and a pair of Polk m series 311, now my home system is complete and I am very happy.

I have this cd-player from 1993 and i'm very happy with it.Back in those days this player consindered as audiophile.Has a warm-non fatigue sound with sweet/mellow highs.At the age of 20 years of use, I went to the lab once, because sometimes it stuck before reading the disc. The technician told me that he just blew it and changed a belt. He told me to use it more often because I listen to a lot of radio.Of course i don't want to seell it,ever.Als...

I am just a musician/enthusiast but these speakers are better than any other bookshelf speakers I have experienced. Excellent for close field listening.
