"The DUOs do all of the normal audio tricks of imaging and soundstaging; plus a few not so common audio tricks like the realistic recreation of a living, breathing, soundspace; lifelike dynamics and life-size aural images. Musically they allow the emotional content to come through in spades, and they play the beat right. More than any other speaker that I have had the pleasure to enjoy, the DUOs immerse me in an musically convincing soundspace that is a near musical epiphany at every listening session." (6moons, J. Day, USA)

“The totally balanced combination reveals very fast - very much. The DUO sounds incredibly natural. There are simply no colorations! The competition had no chance when our test program played real dynamic tracks. Some tracks have such an incredible dynamic bandwidth, that most conventional speakers simply smooth-off, or to it say more clearly - compress! Not the DUO´s! The best symbiosis of horn and conventional technology I know.” (AUDIOPHILE, H. Biermann, GERMANY)
“The inexhaustible dynamic reserves of the DUO show the incredible strength of this set of horn satellite and active subwoofer. Drums sound totally unplugged. No peaks or fortissimo really challenge this speaker. Piano concerts are reproduced with original dynamics. No compression effect deteriorate the thrilling experience of a life orchestra.” (STEREO, U. Rattai, GERMANY)
“The DUO is a musical and beautifully sounding seducement. The DUO comes close to the listener, reaches him in every corner of his mind and floods the room with music – escape is impossible. This is how music reproduction should be: inspire emotions, disperse relaxation and convey energy. (HIFI TEST, V. Frech, GERMANY)
“These DUOs are one of the best speaker systems I’ve ever heard. I would have sworn Joan Armatrading was singing in my living room, but then so was Harry Christophers and his Sixteen, and Louis Armstrong, and Pat Metheny...and... and... and the neighbours kept finding excuses to visit...” (AUDIO QUARTERLY, C. Beeching, UK)
