Enjoy The Music.com reviewer Tom Lyle is utterly impressed by MOON by Simaudio 641 Integrated Amplifier and 681 Network Player / DAC.

He concludes his glowing review with these words:
"Adding to these two components' excellent sound quality and features is an incomparable fit-and-finish and a shapely black and chrome chassis. Both of these components allow for a win-win-win situation for all audiophiles searching for components anywhere near their prices."

“Handmade in Denmark since 1979”

We agree with Simon Lucas, reviewer for Trusted Reviews and author of the latest review of Audiovector's QR 1SE, when he says: "If you’re going to have a point of difference, pray that it’s as impressive as [this] strap-line". We couldn't agree more.

The QR 1 SE is a beautiful standmount speaker which "looks and feels like a premium product". And in terms of sound quality? Simon writes it's:
✔ Articulate and vigorous sound
✔ Open, spacious and properly organised
✔ Lean low-end presentation

And as Simon Says (sorry, we just couldn't resist): "it would be negligent of you not to audition them."
