for the HL P3ES-2


Just became an inmate. Read the previous review. Agree totally that these are great sounding speakers. Everything just feels right. They really deserve good clean high current power amps to make them sing their best. They also need good solid stands to snap the focus in.

Highly recommended if you need to listen near field i.e in a very small space.


Product Weakness: Cannot play to earth shaking volumes. Low register missing (to be exepcted from these shoe-box sized babies) Needs high quality amps (read expensive and large)
Product Strengths: Great sound stage, tonal accuracy and beautiful lush vocals
