NEW YORK AUDIOPHILE SHOW 2012

Hansen Audio
THE PRINCE E

"Listening to this system is like putting yourself in the hands of a master. This year's debut of the Hansen Audio THE PRINCE E loudspeakers was yet another triumph, as the sound produced in the hotel room was amazing. As an audiophile, it is really easy to tell when a system design is right, and this combination proved to be detailed, controlled, well-balanced, and vivid, with no sign of stress even during the most monumentally loud moments from the great vinyl set-up. It's not often that one sees such a strong positive reaction to the visual design of the speakers, which are resplendent works of art on all counts. These speakers kept drawing cooing sounds from all the women in the room. They simply loved it, petting and admiring the smooth silver surfaces. While not inexpensive, the speakers far outshone the competition at the show in terms of sonic nuance and dynamic grace, never offering anything more or less than the source was producing. Even my wife remarked about how nice they would look in the living room. "
