Bass
94/100
Large horn 3-way with specified extension to 24 Hz (-10 dB) and 35 Hz (-3 dB) and very heavy cabinets. Reviews describe massive, room-filling output and very high sensitivity (105 dB). Matches a large/reference horn bass capability—strong extension, control and authority.
Mid
94/100
Reviewers singled out dialogue clarity and realism ('first time she could truly appreciate the dialogs'), indicating excellent midrange presence, timbre and coherence through the crossover.
Treble
93/100
Horn highs are implied to be clean and highly resolving (theater-like magic) with no reviewer complaints of brittleness; extension and detail are strong given horn design and reported system realism.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Described as delivering 'the magic of the theater' and exposing the limits of a 5.1 system—very wide, deep and dramatic staging with focused imaging typical of large horn systems.
Dynamics
95/100
Extremely dynamic: reviewers report the horns run 'on less than two watts' to 'deafening levels' due to 105 dB sensitivity—excellent micro/macro dynamics and headroom.

Build Quality
94/100
Very large, heavy cabinets (540 lb per speaker) and 'fully loaded' 3-way horn construction imply substantial engineering and robust build; no reported resonance complaints in reviews.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive baseline applied. No digital/DSP features listed; terminal/configuration details not provided.
Value for Money
83/100
Price not provided. High sensitivity and performance vs expected system cost suggest strong value for buyers needing dynamics without massive amplification, but shipping/size and likely premium cost prevent scoring higher without explicit price/peer comparisons.
