These speakers are no joke. A truly turnkey speaker/sub end for just about any beefy amp setup.


I've heard this set several times - each time they impress!

Thank you gents.

When I heard these years ago at my dealer, I thought they were the finest speakers I'd ever heard. Stereophile's very positive reviews of both the original (Fremer) and V2 (Atkinson) are available on their website.

An acquaintance of mine in Scottsdale has a similar setup. I've listened to his system several times and always come away with trying to figure out how to fit them in my house!

These are fantastic speakers and I'm not saying that simply because I own a pair of Aerial Acoustics Model 8 speakers either. They are amazing.

I highly recommend the seller and his wares.

Good luck with the sale!

To whomever buys these awesome speakers.
I just took some time to play with the positioning of my speakers.
It made a huge difference in the SQ by making these adjustments.
I ended up using straight spikes on the outriggers into the carpet and at a toe'd in angle, but aimed just slightly behind the listener.
Also, I raked the lower section upwards by raising the front spikes and lowering the rear spikes on the outriggers. On the upper section, I raised the rear spikes as high as possible and lowered the front spikes as low as possible. This helped the speakers achieve somewhat similar positioning adjustments as a Wilson Audio or a Focal Sopra speaker where the upper and lower sections have different angles facing towards the listener. Although not as pronounced, it gives the speakers a slight upwards tilt, laid back appearance on the lower section with the upper section tilted downwards, pointing directly at the listener.

I would have loved to have heard these to compare to the Cantons.
Wish I could hear them.
