for the R630


I have recently purchased Newform Research 630v3 and thought I'd share my thoughts now that I have had them for awhile. These are as good and IMO better than any speaker close to it's price range(5k and below). They are extremely fast and detailed with a huge soundstage.Music just sounds right,if the recording is great they sound great. Bad recordings can not hide though which is the price I'll gladly pay.
The soundstage is huge however being a ribbon design you miss a lot if you are tall or laying on the floor as you need to be sitting to stay in a good range for the treble.
They are very easy to drive as well I have tried them with Denon HT,Panasonic HT,NAD and Bryston. The better the AMP the better the sound however they seemed to get more out of the lesser amps then other speakers I have used.
They truly have me hearing new things on my old favorite music


Product Weakness: mail order can not audition first
Product Strengths: great product support and advice,30 day money return policy
