http://www.sereneaudio.comBackground: Developed by tinker and engineer from British Columbia Siavash Rezaei, who, after buying, auditioning, testing, so on and so forth, speakers for his home recording studio, couldn’t find any that met his needs of tonal balance, dynamics, and hours of non fatiguing listening. Siavash decided that low non-linear distortion in speakers was the key to hours of listening. Not being able to find this in the speakers he bought and tested, he set out to build his own.
Design: Three ported desktop sized uniquely styled cabinet shapes finished in bamboo and leather, passive ($395/pair) or active ($495/pair) utilizing 3 inch driver with large underhung neodymium magnet, emphasis is on low harmonic distortion, amps are 20 wpc digital with DSP and subwoofer outputs (auto sensing 120 Hz cutoff), F3 = 70 Hz with baffle step compensation.
Sound: From the published reviews: impressive all around (except for filling a large room, dynamics, bass extension - typical for small speakers). Use of a decent subwoofer with good mid/bass performance is indicated. Hits many of my buttons for in a 2nd system, desktop, or casual listening.
