Aside from the year, I stand by my original impression" — Mark Fleischmann, Hometheatermag.com (Mar, 2007 & June 6,2006) “sounded better than many far more expensive ones I’ve the displeasure of hearing..played the human voice in both male and female varieties and the system definitely kept me intrigued and smiling” — Fred Manteghian, UltimateAVmag.com (June 2, 2006) Customer Testimonials"The [HB-1] imaging was stunning, even off-axis. They were also very dynamic. For the price ($125), I thought they were an excellent value. The speakers went down to 60Hz, although Dr. Hsu had them crossed over at 80Hz. The rest of the bass was re-routed to Hsu's upcoming mid-bass driver (as subwoofer that rolled off around 50Hz), which was placed right next to the seating location. Deep bass below 50Hz was reproduced by a VTF-3 [HO] Turbo, placed in the front corner.I thought it was one of the best demos at the show" — AVS Forum member sdurani (aka Sanjay Durani) |
