"What's not to love?"
The Fresh Prince of Hi-Fi!
The greatest-value small speakers at CAF 2024.
The buzz was palpable weeks before I hit the show.
What’s not to love?
The small speakers blew out a massive soundfield that was rich, dynamic, punchy, and very well layered.
Brass had bite and attack. Drums punched like a larger speaker!
