Ares Excel
Design
"The Ares Excel benefits from a high-density fibreboard cabinet because it ensures optimal acoustic balance for the larger dimension panels involved. It has a smart Canaletto walnut veneer and natural wood finish to the rear of the reflex-ported box and is proudly made in Italy."
Installation
"Very soon after first listening I was aware that the sound was rather more lacklustre than I had expected. A quick in-room check of the frequency response removed any trial-and-error positioning and a modest toe-in solved the issue which was down to a midrange dip, emulating perhaps but accentuating the famous ‘BBC midrange dip’, and a gentle if early roll-off of the top-end."
Sound Quality
"The overall balance is laid-back, by which I mean it is easy-on-the-ear, completely unfatiguing and allows for long periods of enjoyable listening. The result is to lessen the harshness of some raucous rock and pop recordings although, by the same measure, voices can appear slightly further back in the overall mix, noted with TV dramas."
