Transparency is outstanding, throughout the whole musical spectrum (obviously the carbon fiber cone drivers are doing a good job of complementing the ribbon's prowess). Musical transients sound fast and airy, without the artificial hardness or sizzle we usually hear from small dome tweeters covering the same range.
The other chief strength of this system is its bass. The Red Rose Classic Ribbon has incredible, stunning bass quality. This is better quality bass than we have ever heard from any other full range system, at anywhere near this price. What makes this bass quality so outstanding is its high definition, which also implies lack of coloration and lack of temporal hangover. For example, when a double bass is played, you hear the string gruffly resonating, the large cavity of air in its wooden body resonating, and the subtle sound of the wooden faces (sounding board) of the instrument's body resonating. You hear all these musical bass sounds revealed more clearly, more naturally by this speaker system than by others."
