    The reviewer could tell us that

    Instruments and human voices have an innate sense of rightness about them too, with a treble that extends naturally and a midrange that approaches LS3/5a levels of clarity.page two, centre column, middle of the second paragraph.

    ...and these speakers are imbued with...

    …the sort of musical accuracy and honesty that you don’t get at a grand and you might struggle to find even at £5,000page two, third column, last paragraph.

    Yet these 'honest' speakers can improve the quality of 128kbps MP3 to near CD quality? I dunno, this doesn't add up to me. If he can commit in print that these are good enough to compete with speakers costing £5K then I don't buy the "maybe he couldn't tell" line. There's something very fishy about this review

    "approaches LS3/5A levels of clarity"?

    I don't think of these speakers as models of clarity - in fact I think they are over-cooked in the midrange and a combination of boomy, boxy, slow and uninformative in range from lower mids through middle bass (80Hz to 300 Hz, roughly).

    Clarity is not what comes to mind. I never did understand the widespread respect these speakers enjoy.
