Gradient Helsinki

Helsinki 1.5s are very neutral sounding, but don't have much
bass below 50hz.

Not many pairs in the US, so I don't think you're going to get much feedback.

Paul-

The speakers I heard were correctly set up per Gradient's instructions: toed in at a 45 degree angle.

Measurements by Helsinki 1.5 owners show the speaker rolls off below 50 Hz.

Even TAS reviewer R.E.Greene, who gave the speaker a TAS GEA says the speaker may need subs in some rooms.

You can go on Greene's forum and see measurements at:

Have you taken any measurements? If so, please post them on Greene's forum.

PS- here's tip for you, check the tightness of the fasterners on the woofers and midrange drivers.

PPS- what are those black things you have under the speaker bases?

"Nice speaker - Price perfomance as-of-tofay is 6/10."

Flg2001-

I agree 100%. Based on performance, fit & finish these speakers are way over priced. Glad I sold mine.

Check all the philips head screws/allen head fasteners including those on the bottom of the base.

Everything on my pair was loose.

PS- if you move them to 45 degrees, you need to listen in the nearfield.
