Another very happy observation was the perfectly matched sealed bass loading and downfire orientation of the <strong>German</strong><br />

woofers with my infrasonic Submission sub from Zu. This made for a terrifically seamless handover in the very first<br />

octave (and the nearly matching white lacquer didn't hurt either to complete a visual match). My mental psych eval had<br />

morphed from disappointed, to promising, to thoroughly thrilled, over just two days. This exam would conclude with top<br />

marks.<br />

Obvious virtues were gargantuan where-are-the-boxes soundstaging of stupendous depth; chewy highly incarnate<br />

sound density, very different from ghostly electrostatic leaniency; non-resonant bass; complete freedom from the headin-a-vise<br />

syndrome of highly directive speakers; and from-a-cloth continuousness one gets from a Rethm widebander<br />

albeit without any remaining forwardness or blister but superior upper treble. The general presentation reminded me of<br />

a Gallo/Zu hybrid. From Gallo I had a vertically lifted deep-space Ref 3.5 reading without its obvious panel-speaker<br />

speed. From Zu I had Druid V tone density and warmth without its upper midrange/lower treble opacity. Of great<br />

cosmetic benefit was the compact form factor with very small footprint, which stood in stark contrast to the cinerama<br />

panorama of sound. A cosmetic detractor was the need to be far into the room. Here the very easy sliding weight and<br />

utter disregard for toe-in meant that the speakers could be easily pulled out for proper listening, then parked close in<br />

the corners for social living room use.
