"The THIEL CS7.2s are among the very small handful of loudspeakers that could be considered the best in the world." - Wes Phillips, Soundstage!, March 2001

All-metal diaphragm, four-way design

The CS7.2 is a four-way system incorporating a 12-inch woofer and passive radiator. All the CS7.2 drivers use metal diaphragms to provide much higher stiffness and compressive strength than conventional diaphragm materials. This greatly reduces diaphragm resonances for extremely clean and open reproduction with no ringing. The CS7.2 drivers also use a unique short coil/long gap motor system to dramatically reduce distortion, and each of the three cone drivers uses copper in its motor system to stabilize the magnetic field.

Cast mineral/polymer composite baffle

The cabinet's cast mineral/polymer composite baffle greatly reduces energy storage and unwanted vibration, and provides an extremely rigid mounting for the drivers. Internal bracing and cast aluminum driver chassis further reduce unwanted vibration to improve clarity and imaging performance.

"[The CS7.2] is the finest loudspeaker I've had in my system...I enthusiastically recommend them..."

- Brian Damkroger, Stereophile, Vol. 23, No. 2, February 2000

System Audio SA 1550 There are people who use sound as a source of inspiration and spiritual enlightenment. People who are enraptured by the rhapsody of a symphony orchestra. People who bless the blues from Chicago. People who crave the way guitar greats can make a Stratocaster talk, cry or sing. They feel at home in the subtle, sublime and swinging art of jazz. They can’t resist the blistering tempest of a full-blooded rock orchestra. Or the rarefied tones of baroque. They know intimately every song sung of their favourite vocalist – and treasure every nuance of every note. SA creates loudspeakers for these sorts of people.
People like you. At only £749 these may be the biggest bargain ever for a beautiful speaker

ProAc Tablette Reference Eight SignaturePossibly the best small speaker in the world, we know of no other speaker this small with genuine audiophile quality. No expense has been spared sourcing expensive drive units for this design and boy does it show!

To sum up: Clean and detailed sound, especially beguiling in the midrange; convincing soundstage, with rock-steady image; plays loud without losing sonic balance; superbly made

ATC SCM 50 ASL I was instantly drawn into musical events. Music was occurring in my room. My experience was of a live event, even if the recording was made in a studio. For me, almost any live musical event has an excitement, whether I like the music or not. When the music is performed with particular feeling, it not only captures your attention, but it captures your heart and plays the strings of your emotions. - Positive Feedback extract

Zingali Home Monitor 212-IIHave a listen to a good emotional female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to fight back tears before these speakers.

"Within seconds, I sank into a state of bliss. It may have been the music, the volume (just shy of "live"), or the heat in the room (from 150 glowing tubes!), but whatever it was, I remained transfixed for the next 45 minutes"
- Soundstage The 2002 Jimmy Awards

Gryphon PoseidonThere are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.

I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate the sonic abilities of the Poseidon.
