Score: 5/5 To sum up what is already a verbose review I will state that these speakers are simply outstanding in the home theater. They are effortless clean neutral and capable of fantastic imaging. The S5s in 3X Dipole mode create a holographic rear sound field that rivals the best surrounds I have ever heard and even outdoes them. - Dave Upton Home Theater Forum

You get a generous soundstage a homogeneous reproduction good details and on the whole it is a loudspeaker you happily use to listen to music. I think it is somewhat unbelievable that you can get these qualities for the asked price but the consumers should only be happy about that. XTZ 99.26 MKII is an unbeatable concept-Sven Bilén NOMONO

Listening to the 99.26 MKIIs it became immediately apparent that these speakers were something special. The 99.26 MKIIs throw an incredibly wide sound stage and image equally well placing you only a few feet back from the stage as the performance begins which is an incredible engaging acoustic profile for this type of music. These speakers are simply capable in every sense of the word of reproducing music the way it is meant to be heard. The 99.26 MKII is the finest bookshelf Ive heard at anythign near this price point features stunning good looks and is very reasonably priced given the components used.- Dave upton Home Theater Forum
