Overview
The System M5 is an outstanding loudspeaker. The way its high-performance drivers play coherently, absolutely seamlessly and synchronously, is virtually intoxicating. Equipped with the patented SASB bass / midrange system and one of the best bass drivers in the world their low-level reproduction is in a class of its own. Its large magnetostatic tweeter is perfected elaborately to meet the demands of an ideal speaker. The resulting treble quality is setting standards. The System-M-version´s modular design with fully separated and effectively decoupled bass / midrange and treble units results in a superior detail resolution across the whole frequency range and in a perfect time response. Response behaviour and transparency are in addition enhanced significantly by the ASCENDO-C floor decoupling.
