for the DM 602 S2

I had these speakers for about half a year. I sold them since I sold my amp. I had them running with a Luxman LV-103 60 watt integrated amp. They were used with a Sony 670 SACD player. I bought these speakers because I loved the midrange openness and the highs that did not grate on me. The spacious presentation these produced was great for its price range. It was a smooth sounding speaker. I really loved the treble quality of these. Voices seemed very realistic. Bass wasn't too bad for such a small speaker, but the Luxman wasn't great on producing current for this. Its too bad I didn't keep this system as it was very musical and smooth sounding. I found the biwiring seemed to help the speakers somewhat, even if the cables conected to the amp together. It did produce a pumping sound with heavy bass though at time.

Product Weakness: Bass pumping noise through port
Product Strengths: Attractive speakers, Great sound for price
