There must be something wrong with them, right? That's what our reviewer thought at first too. But after hearing the E5Ti speakers, his mind wasn't just changed, it was blown.Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:10:00 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/emp-tek-impression-e5tirFloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/rbh-sound-mc-6ctThe MC-6CT are the flagship of the MC line and have won numerous awards over the years. With additional bass, a steader speaker, upgraded front baffle, identical pricing, and a better all around aesthetic, the only thing you're missing from the original MC-6CTs is a Cherry veneer. Seems like a fair trade off to us.Mon, 21 Sep 2009 07:55:00 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/rbh-sound-mc-6ctFloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/adam-audioUntil the 2009 CEDIA expo, I was unfamiliar with the Adam Audio brand but I've come to learn they are widely used in recording studios. The workmanship I’ve seen from their products at their booth have me thirsting for more. While they aren’t inexpensive, I recall an expression one of my good friends once said to me “its never cheap to be hip and trendy”. I'm a big fan of ribbon tweeters for their ability to convey detail and pinpoint imaging when properly designed. These look to be an impressive design in all aspects. I plan on reviewing a set of these speakers in the near future to see what its’ like hanging with the high rollers who expect nothing less than top quality with price being no object.Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:20:00 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/adam-audioFloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/atlantic-technology-h-pasAtlantic Technology demonstrated their new H-PAS-1 tower featuring a -3dB point of 29Hz at 105dB SPL from just two 4 1/2" drivers. Using a patent-pending enclosure system called H-PAS developed by Solus/Clements , the H-PAS-1 is said to produce bass output with a 50 percent smaller cabinet, and driver compliment compared to conventional designs. The demo we heard proved this system could produce exceedingly low bass extension as claimed but we'd like to hear more diverse program material in our own listening labs to truly understand its potential. The H-PAS-1 tower will ship in Q409 with a larger version featuring dual 6 1/2" drivers early next year.Sat, 12 Sep 2009 03:56:32 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/atlantic-technology-h-pasFloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/jbl-ls-series-speakersThe aesthetic quality of the new LS series of speakers can't be denied. The streak-ebony mahogany finish certainly catches the eye. There are lots of rounded edges and clean lines on these speakers which sort of distracts from the fact that they have essentially a rectangular box enclosure. But the horn loaded drivers and the emphasis on high end response (much past the range of human hearing) over low end (a ~$4k speaker that only dips down to 48Hz) leaves us a little puzzled.

Offered in gloss black or gloss red burl, the finish of the speakers is stunning. We were further floored when we learned that the list price of the E5Ti's would be $730 with an introductory price OF JUST $400. PER PAIR Yes, that is NOT a typo. At that price we fully expect the EMP Impression E5Ti Tower speakers to leave burn marks as they literally fly off the shelves.Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:20:00 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/emp-tek-e5tiFloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/boston-acoustics-vs-344The new Boston VS 344 floorstanding speakers are $1250 each and feature a much slimmer design from its bigger brother. Sporting five 4.5" drivers and a 1" tweeter, the Boston VS 344 only stands 44" tall and a bit over 5" wide. The drivers are constructed out of Organic Composite Cone Material (OCCM). During our site visit to the Boston factory, we saw how they design and manufacture most of their drivers in house and we have no reason to believe they don't manufacture these themselves.Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:00:00 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/boston-acoustics-vs-344FloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/infinity-classia-c336For those of you that have read the $1500 - $2000 Floorstanding Speaker Shootout article, you've already heard of the Infinity Classia C336s. They do look great and they have very good bass extension. The bass punch was a bit weak and the high end a tad fatiguing. However, out of all the speakers I've reviewed at this price point, the C336s are the most likely to go on sale. When they do, you're going to want to take a second look at them. In a second setup or a movie/family room, the Classias are going to both look and sound great.Mon, 27 Apr 2009 06:40:00 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/infinity-classia-c336FloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/1500-2000-floor-shootout-2009Speaker shootouts are more fun in theory than in practice. The fact is that they are a lot of work. You need to convince a bunch of people to meet at a location, have them listen to a bunch of speakers, and record their observations. On top of that, you have to convince manufacturers to get involved. What we were looking for were floorstanding speakers in the $1500-$2000 range. We were also looking for passive speakers (meaning no powered subwoofers) to keep everyone on a level playing field. The tests were done blind and sighted. Did they match?

The LEKTOR 8's would be right at home in a medium to large room and present a very easy load to amplifiers. The excellent off axis response makes placement a breeze. The real strength of these speakers is the soundstage. Wider than your room (or so it seems), the DALI Lekors wrap the music around you even in a two channel setup. For the price, the DALI's definitely represent a top tier offering.Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:55:00 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/dali-lektor-8FloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/tsc-tst2I like reviewing budget gear because I know I'm reviewing something that is in the bulk of our reader's price range. Let me speak plainly - These are NOT $450/pair speakers as their price suggests. I have found them to be much closer in performance to $1000/pair speakers. This time I'm going to refrain from making any grandiose claims but I'll tell you this, don't bother asking me what my advice is for budget bookshelf (with stands) or floorstanding speakers. My answer is The Speaker Company TST2s.

Having access to a Cray Supercomputer at Stuttgart University in Germany where he is a professor, Roland modeled the drivers measured data, the enclosure and the crossover network. According to him this required 32 simultaneous mathematical equations to solve with 800 unknown variables.

K&Q ranks high on this list for 2009. They were displaying a rather large floor standing loudspeaker which seemed to have no low end at all. When I walked around the back, it was obvious as to why.

The Maxxhorn uses a 5 inch driver to make low frequencies that such loudspeakers do not make without a huge horn attached to them. The Maxxhorn does use a horn, but it is folded and completely behind the forward facing driver allowing it to reach the extremely high frequencies a folded horn would by its nature eliminate.Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:53:52 -0000/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/maxxhorn-audio-illumination-speakerFloorstandingSpeakershttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/gemme-audioThe Phenix Green Gem LS is a 3 piece handcrafted satellite subwoofer system.

The satellites use a 6 inch driver definitely optimized for the midrange and what appears much like a Fostex Horn Tweeter.
