I share you instincts/sentiment sunnyjim. I did for awhile think of buying some, but was wise and didn't. They called there little pyramid speaker with 4 3" Tangband drivers something like "one the best av loudspeakers of all." (go check the webpage--its there) If 4 3" tangbands are that good in their lineup they must have done a horrible job designing with their Vifa and Scanspeak drivers. Which is what I suspect about the company: there is/was plenty of room for improvement in the designing phase. They may have the good drivers and cabinets but that's all they talk about. I think they look ugly too. I vote hype/crap. They even talk like BOSE about "musical instrument omnidirectional; therefore, speaker should be omnidirectional" I don't think he understands the recording chain, microphone types and placement, room acoustics as it relates to speaker/room/listener-interface, etc. If they are good, as people claim (but people like all sorts of junk and I'm always suspicious of subjective claims) the website isn't too technical as you noticed.
Norh Speakers from Thailand: High-end or Hype??
I have occasionally seen the name Norh speakers mentioned on this website. They are unique looking if anything.They have a line of monitor-type speakers which use a marble cabinet and claim hi-end sound; nevertheless, I am more curious about their floorstanding speaker: Prism 6.9 which uses (the best) Vifa tweeter and Scanspeaker woofer. The description of these speakers on their website is hardly sophisticated or convincing. Also, they sell only mail order direct!! Are these speakers hi-end or hype???----FYI,the Prism 6.9 looks a bit like a pyramid on stilts. Has anyone owned or heard these speakers?? Need good input Thank you HNYear!!
