Cardeas musical heaven

Audio Physic Cardeas have just been reviewed to great acclaim by Hifi Plus in this months issue 70. We have these superb speakers on permanent demonstration.

"These are some of the cleanest, driest sounding loudspeakers I've heard, but in an entirely correct way. They will make almost any other loudspeaker sound like it's got a righteous overhang and a bass boom."

"Don't take that 'dry' sound for 'light' ... this is a deep, powerful and dynamic sounding loudspeaker, just not one that adds any sense of excess fat to the sound. This might be disconcerting for people more used to the box joining in with the musical celebration, but it makes things like Little Feat's Oixie Chicken (on Mobile Fidelity) sound more like you are in the studio than in the listening room."

"Not here, the sound is like the guys hanging out in your living room. Short of donning an Austin Powers outfit, calling people 'hep cats' and having drummers called 'Clem' on speed-dial, this is as close as you can get to recreating the event in the home. Niiiiice."

"Cardeas manages to add to the pantheon of high-end. If you are tired of large scale loudspeakers sounding big and fat and boomy in the bass, and want something that delivers big speaker scale with all the fast, precise and detailed performance of a neat little two-way loudspeaker, this is arguably the best of the bunch."
