Their latest, the Essence, tracks music's soft-to-loud, to very loud dynamics like nobody's business. Those instantaneous volume shifts we associate with live sound are faithfully reproduced by the Essence.

And frankly, the Essence isn't what I would call a high-resolution speaker. The tonal balance is warm, rich and full, so vocals sound more flesh-and-blood human than you'll hear from most hi-fis, which, let's face it, tend to sound like hi-fis reproducing music.

The Essence can also rock and roll with a vengeance. Cranking the hell out of Tom Petty's The Live Anthology CD made that point in a hurry.
