I was searching for high sensitivity, smaller speakers...
That's an oxymoron, unless you throw in "Zero bass". You an alarm clock wattage amp/single driver guy now?
The one you linked has a really nice cabinet, but the claimed specs are audiophile fantasy world aka not reality.

For what they are getting for these with the shipping there are several well regarded name brand speakers that you could get for a similar price,  you wouldn't have to modify them right out of the box and you could find a way to audition them before forking over any cash.

I agree. Actually, I have found only one speaker brand that I liked, and I have heard some expensive ones.
I have checked out a chinese brand or two caps and they were not very good.

it's possible that some chinese gear like this is very good, especially considering the price.

red rose music (courtesy of mark levinson) sold speakers and amps that were very nice, but i didn't like the fact that he simply relabeled chinese speakers and electronics and priced them anywhere from 5 to 7 times the cost of the chinese-labeled equipment. i actually own a korsun u2 integrated amp (retailed for $250); i bought it for $150 shipped from overseas, (yes, it needs a step-up transformer in the usa).  red rose music sold the exact same amp for $2000.

  Maybe so.


However I cannot support anything from Communist China any longer.
