If there's one item its own propaganda overplays, it's placement insensitivity. At least for me the opposite was the<br />

case. Without proper wall distance—factor on at least 4 feet or 1.3m—the sound in my 5.5 x 12m room overloaded on<br />

acoustic reverb to bloat like a puffer fish and become just as toxic to clarity and speed. Once in properly 'free' space,<br />

the HRS-120 exhibited very clean impulse response, wall-to-wall staging, true tonal continuousness top to bottom and<br />

twice as effective conversion of amplifier power into at-ear loudness than forward radiators. This not only scaled<br />

macro dynamics with true conviction and very rapidly so (truly ideal for bombastic symphonica), it worked a treat in the<br />

opposite direction. Here the HRS-120 hung together down into whisper levels without any bleaching or shifts in tonal<br />

balance.<br />

My own 10 reasons for saying yes. For being white to match my subwoofer; for working in my short-wall orientation<br />

where the B10's horizontally opposed 10-inchers overload in the bass to only work in the upstairs long-wall system;<br />

for being an ideal townhouse whisperer without any of the side effects of traditional 100dB widebanders; for sealed<br />

not ported bass; for sounding like good tube-based analog with affordable transistors and digital; for making 320kbps<br />

Spotify+ streams sound most respectable; for what is a fundamentally different closer-to-live gestalt than conventional<br />

speakers; for all that at living-room friendly dimensions and a back-happy weight whilst being full-range enough to<br />

only warrant subular assist below 35Hz...<br />
