‘Sound Advice – Exceptional’ – what a great start to the review of the prophecy5 by Andrew Everard for Sound Advice.
Comments also include:
“One uses the term ‘magical’ sparingly in reviews like this, but that’s what the effect here is. I’ve heard a lot of much more expensive speakers in my time – but few have communicated that sense of a performance, with nothing between the recording and the listener, as well as these unassuming-looking compact speakers.”
“But the best thing is how effortless and unforced the whole experience is, with no sense of any element of the system having to work hard to deliver a big, enveloping musical experience.”
“They create a totally convincing stereo image, are open and involving, and have prodigious bass extension and control for speakers taking up no more space than a pair of little bookshelf two-ways on stands.”
“…the prophecy5s cast a solid, three-dimensional image between them. In addition, they also do that magical hi-fi trick of making the sound appear to spread out beyond the speakers, seemingly occupying a much greater space. This is ideal for larger orchestral works, but also serves well that sense of the sound being entirely free of the speakers, and existing in space in the listening room.”
