In the recent past the busy developer gives us repeatedly exciting innovations, such as the already legendary designated 4Pi tweeter and also, found in the set FS 247, the JET tweeter.

... [And] Spontaneous enthusiasm was immediately felt after the start of our test CD - ELAC Loudspeakers received his listeners with a very open and spacious presentation.

... Highlights einemal requires more of the phenomenal acting JET tweeter, his praise more than is deserved. "

The elegant stand speakers must be unqualified praise - our congratulations go to Kiel!"
