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!!

I also own 6.9 marble synthethic they are good speakers
they would even sound excellent if you rewire them with
silver, provided if your system is not too bright.There is
no hype on this norh product,it make me wander, how they
make money, good reasonable price state of the art enclosure
wonderful sound,iam also one happy owner cant stop talking
about them.I also heard the 9 first class speakers, smooth,
neutral with excellent base.

I totally respect your decision for not buying in the
internet there is always a risk.But dealing with Norh
people is cool.I know someone who needed to have his
amp service to them, it came back quick and they answer
his email quicker than, if you will deal with our local
snub dealer, Honestl, Iam very greatful with internet
Audiochain, like the Oddyssey, Norh, Audionut,I benefited
from them.And i got a good result too.My 6.9,with the le
amp monoblock $450 and ah cd sold by upscale audio, will
beat a system between 10k to 15k. How do I know, Ive been
to my friends home and dealers with that amt of money
that was spend.Maybe I got lucky synergizing my system,
or maybe Iam bias because i own it. One thing i always
try to avoid is to be bias, for i dont have the guts to
cheat myself. Lastly I am glad i took the risk, if I did
not,I would probably miss this treasure.ALSO NOT TRYING
TO PROMOTE ANY PRODUCTS, IF THE PRODUCTS IS BAD THE STORY
STOPS FROM THERE ITS HISTORY.
I would like to add also about,how i feel when my friend
told me,that one of his friend his buying a speaker in
Thailand, Norh Co., He showed me the picture of marble 9
they look like flashlight to me.We bought agree our friend
is better off buying the B&W N05,i audition this speaker
that time iam getting tired of my martin logam quest z,
with my wife pressure,i went out and audition them,they
were very good but they did not have enough base in my
room, my friend thought this are better and more musical
than my logan,after reconnecting my logan its very clear,
the logan are my preference.Then one day when the marble
9 arrived with norh multiamp in active mode,complete burn
in my friend call me.This guy own the NO5,He said, You
better hear those norh they are natural, no brightness,
no distortion,and i have suffer since i heard them.Honestly
I thought big deal I FELT THE SAME LIKE SUNNYJIM AND ESM 11,
INTERNET IN THAILAND, UNKNOWN FORGET IT.i CANT EVEN DEAL
WITH THE AUDIO DEALER ACROSS MY STREET,WHY BOTHER GO TO
INTERNET OR OVERSEAS.Until i heard this norh 9,I was blown
away they are beautiful for my taste, i like unique.Then
the owner told me they do have 6.9 for $950. and le amp
for $450 and this are monoblock.So I took the risk,Norh
products to me are hard to beat easpecially for their price.
But again it scary to deal with people we have not met,If
you dont have the guts to do it then dont do it,Its
your money in the first place,other wise mylanta will
be the choice for stomach upset.
Phasecorrect this was also my first thought,I will never
buy anything that i dont see, hear, even touch, or maybe
smell, my friend said why buy norh, there are B&W out
there he said, good speaker, good reputation, He said
he will go out and see the NO5, i agree. Until i heard
the marble 9 from norh.I forgot about the risk. I purchase
the 6.9. Iam not saying they are better than the one i
auditon, but IMHO I like this 6.9 better than the expensive
speakers I audition, But I do admire for making decision
with caution, now a days even in front of our two eyes
people will still try to cheat you, Its part of life,
Again being cautious is also a very very good decision.
