QUOTE

Though it's fair to say that the Direct Acoustics Silent Speaker II did better with classical music than with rock, it's still a very well-balanced design at an affordable price, with a totality of performance that exceeds the sum of its parts. I'm not surprised that John Marks liked it as much as he did.

JM SAYS:

And in the all-important midrange, FROM A LISTENING POSITION, they were pretty much ying and yang with JA's reference pair of vintage LS3/5As.

DISCLOSURE: On more than one occasion, Winslow Burhoe and his wife have burst out laughing at my R-rated sense of humor.

ATB,

John
