[QUOTE="enterusername, post: 1890782, member: 568814"] Went back to the audio shop today, I was really impressed with the HELIX S6 components', and they cost about the same as Lotus Performance series. [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3596"]http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3596[/URL] Unfortunatley the Lotus Performance were not available for demo. From what I can tell was that the HELIX S6's were extremely aggressive, but not ear piercing as compared to the Focal polykev's next to them. For the type of music I listen to, the HELIX even outperformed Dynnaudio audio set as well. The CD's I tested with was mainly Asian POP, some vocals (Celine Dion, Al Green, Barry White), nothing that demands too complex of a staging. Dynnaudio performed well, warmer sounding, but slightly muffeled. 165KP's were slightly too bright for my taste. My only reservation about these speakers is that they are in the price range of Rainbow Germ., Lotus Performance, and some CDT's that I have been considering as well. Should I go out on a limb and purchase a set of speakers with no reputation? Any advice? [/QUOTE]
