"I have never heard better imaging, and I have carefully listened to many systems over the years,
starting in the mid-1950s. I would compare it somewhat to Quad ESLs, but with better bass."
(Audioreview.com 2/26/07 review by George Stewart of 10S Armada System with one subwoofer)

"This sat, sub combination is a steal. The sound is rich, the soundstaging convincing and the bass goes deep....and with the small size of the sat speakers, my wife is reasonably happy too...Hooked up to my Cambridge Audio Electronics for a total of $2k this system sounded almost as good as my $10k system."

This is one of the best small subwoofer-satellite systems at any price. The unprecedented new low price makes this combination one of the best values in high end audio. EXP side port placement shown The EXP-Model 5 Subwoofer Satellite System (satin black finish) New Price: $949 free shipping

Combining our EXP subwoofer with a pair of our minimonitors delivers astonishing bass performance on par with much larger floor standing loudspeakers, and imaging that no large speaker can match, while providing the utmost flexibility in placement. "...this system sounded almost as good as my $10k system." Audioreview.com Doug Schneider of Soundstage.com has this to say about the Model 5 and EXP: Model 5 "I was left shaking my head at the fact that such big sound came from such little boxes." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) The Model 5 "...seemed to image like a hologram." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com ) EXP "The EXP is an elegant-looking package thats attractive enough to sit out in the room or neatly tucked away in a corner or near a wall." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) "The quality of the bass that the EXP delivers is tight and tuneful" (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com)

Audioreview.com Reviewed by: Charlie Cook, Audio Enthusiast, from Local, CT USA Summary: This sat, sub combination is a steal. The sound is rich. The soundstaging convincing and the bass is goes deep. While not as good as my $2k Theils, I consider this the perfect speaker system for my video system and with the small size of the sat speakers, my wife is reasonably happy too. I first learned about these speakers from a magazine review but with no local dealer was stuck. North Country Audio solved my demo dilema by shipping me the system at not cost to demo and return at my leisure. When I first hooked them up, I was in a word disappointed. They sounded harsh and unmusical. I was ready to return them but decieded to let them burn in for a couple of days. Meanwhile the sound grated on my nerves. Then all of a sudden around the fourth or fifth day they started to sound magical and I couldn't stop listening. Hooked up a Cambridge Audio electronics for a total of $2k the system sounded almost as good as my $10k system. Highly recommended!
