every word. This is the ultimate compliment I can give to
Atlantic Technology on these speakers. It is truly impres-
sive when you can be drawn into the performance where
you no longer are listening to speakers, but to a perfor
-
mance.
I also listened to several music CDs such as Sting: Ten
Summoner’s Tales and Brand New Day (both DTS au
-
dio CDs) and was very impressed at how well the front
three speakers blended so that there was absolutely no
discernible source of the music. It was just “there” sur
-
rounding me with clarity.
I listened to several CDs and DVDs utilizing the 7.1 con
-
figuration. However, I do not have an adequate room to
place all of the speakers perfectly. As a result, while all
of the speakers sounded great, the 5.1 setup worked the
best for me.
Conclusions
This is the best compact speaker system I have ever lis-
tened to. The tone of the speakers match so well that the
only time you are ever really looking at a speaker is when
the artist specifically places an instrument in that section
of the soundstage intentionally. I would prefer to have
a little more mid-bass, but this is definitely better than
having too much.
The excellent build quality as well as the actual music and
dialogue that emanates from them truly show that Atlan-
tic Technology has accomplished a difficult task, namely a
fine balance between budget and quality.
