Purchased a pair of Reiver acoustic Henleys last week off one of the members here.
Sales thread has good quality pictures for reference.
Transaction with Andrew was a pleasure shipped professionally-packed to withstand a nuclear strike.
They are stunning in the flesh, as always Colin Topps wood work is nothing short of excellent.
Initially tried them in my front room av/hi fi set up-firing down a long room.
The ousted a pair of spendor sp1s ( tq claymore/seg/dorado/chrome cast audio/4k lg/4k sony player)
They are downward firing port wise so not really fussy placement wise.
Much smaller boxes than the spendors, so less attack/slam but a midrange to die for and beautifull smooth treble.
Imaging and soundstage are outstanding.
Couldnt trip them with genre but maybe not ideal for heavy rock.
Had a great evening with my wife and son just playing tunes, we loved them.
Sunday swapped out my Reiver acoustic SRs in my listening room-another tq/ewa m50/innous server.
I have 57s that Colin built the stands and reinforced the frames.
The Henleys do midrange very similar to 57s with added bass.
They really are something special for the size and ease of placement.
For a smaller listening room they would be perfect-not too hard to drive either.
Very similar in sonic signiture to quad statics and spendors-more about listening to music than hifi.
They are keepers......
