" when Hansen Audio's THE PRINCE V2 kept me transfixed for 80 minutes...I figured it was a special speaker. What impressed me most was its sense of musical completeness...it effortlessly revealed layers of harmonic, textural, and especially microdynamic detail and nuance...The Woofer and Midrange are anything but ordinary...THE PRINCE V2 produced spectacular three-dimensional imaging, immense sound-stage spatially, and electrostat-like speed and resolution. Its obvious colorations low...the result was musical performance: fast, taut, detailed, as well as highly resolved, rhythmically, harmonically and dynamically...THE PRINCE V2 can produce deep bass. I've heard it do so while filling a surprising large room with convincing orchestral weight."

"...which is my definition of a high-end performance audio component. If you want a cosmetic cover-up for mediocre recordings, look elsewhere. Just remember that you will be sacrificing the greatness of the best recordings - and that is something the Hansen Audio THE PRINCE V2 can deliver."
