“That ability to play to both the cerebral and the visceral is what makes the Square Five so remarkable. Its peers tend to be either good at the detail aspect, but leave the music cold and drab, or make everything upbeat and exciting, at the expense of the technical aspects of the music”

“The first and most obvious feature is apparent before the music even starts. This player presents a seriously explicit and genuinely convincing sense of acoustic space. So much so that in the case of the live concert performance I’m describing here, the audience’s applause envelops you, the air and space around the stage and orchestra creating a tangible atmosphere and sense of presence.”

“The AR1 tweeter used in the Rebecca is the same one used in the $4,000 Monitor Audio PL100s. More suprisingly, the Rebecca’s 6.5″ mid/woofer is the same driver that is used in the $15,000 Wilson Audio’s Sophia”
