Trusted reviews give it 8/10.
Performace/sound quality score knocked down due to brash/harsh mids/highs when pushed hard and flappy bass which could be better integrated.
Features and build quality score high.
There say there are better models out there from Tannoy/Canton.
Hook it up and give it a good run and see how it sounds to you, if disappointed return and try another model.
