Design 4
d4_pair-r.jpgThe D4 is a true high-end speaker in every way. This speaker has caught the hearts of reviewers and customers alike with its larger than life, musical presentation. Awards include Absolute Sound Editors Choice Award and Home Theater’s Editors pick and Stereo Mojo Best of show. Positive reviews are numerous.

Bass sounds natural and strong due to the long throw, vented voice coil drivers and cast baskets. The D4 is internally braced with a one inch mdf so when you lift one, you feel and see a high level of craftsmanship. We voiced the D4 so they can be placed very close to a wall without having bloated bass response. The binding posts and back plate are among the best you can get and even the grill has a baffle blanket so the speakers sound as good with the grills on as they do off.

This is cause for both consternation and optimism; consternation that many customers will spend the same or more on mass-market dreck, and optimism that sound this good can be had for so little money.

" Their extraordinary stereo imaging, grain free treble, and clean, detailed midrange deserve to be heard by those wanting to spend more than this on a pair of floor-standers."

Home Theater Magazine
summed up era this way, “ The future of high-end belongs to products like this, the ones that inspire pride of ownership-the same feeling you get from a flat panel display, an iPod, a Porsche, or an Italian suit.”
