I am pleasantly surprised by these speakers to ridiculous price, however considering the price I have to admit that I expected the worst. First the finish is rather very good (walnut color for me), not too small nor too large I find their size in hair. For my part I already have 2 other pairs of much more high-end speakers and I wanted a 3rd pair has small price to plug in a topping TP60 in my room. So I have to say that the input sound from these speakers is not great and it should be noted a good period of operation to soften the membranes (break) before passing judgment on these speakers. For me it is about thirty hours of music from around thereof reception and it is already much better. Everything seems in place, I find balanced (nothing back or anything forward). The HPs 17 do their job, this serious and impactful bass. I would note of not really acute in finesse but not Criart either.
In association with the Topping TP60 is just excellent !!! In comparison Eltax Monitor 3 I owned, I would recommend rather the Supreme Magnat 200 notament easier to live with TriPath amps that are limited in watts.
For those couples looking for an amp / speaker biblios not expensive (about 320 euros FRP IN) good quality: Supreme Magnat 200 (120 included) + Topping TP60 (199 delivered to a French site)
In the end I recommend this pair of speakers to all those who have a tight budget or who do not want to spend a fortune in a pair of big brand speakers!
