Remarks

Cleanly manufactured, high quality appearing cabinet made of rosewood respectively as seen here on the pictures with a black foil. To describe the sound is not so easy. Because what sounds good for one is just sufficient for the other. But that's a good thing, because otherwise we would all have the same box. I'll give it a try anyway:

The bass of the Arcus is rather lean, but without making you ask for more. After owning a Magnat for a while the bass is clearly missing. The midrange is fantastic, clear, not restrained but not intrusive either, very three-dimensional, just very pleasing. The well pronounced treble fits the speaker perfectly and never gets on your nerves.
