Opera Platea Loudspeakers Reviewed
Plateas creates a sound with "a lot more weight and impact...while retaining the light touch and speed." This model also "has more bass to call upon" but is still "well-rounded and non-aggressive" but still allows the Plateas to cope with rap or techno music. It also has excellent sound with "subtle harmonies and textures..." Read More
Ruark Solus Loudspeakers Reviewed

MartinLogan Theater and Ascent Loudspeaker Review
