Finishes

Some comments from an owner of the Role Enterprise: 

The overall presentation of the Enterprises is that they truly "disappear" in the best sense of the word. From the shimmery strings, triangles, and cymbals to the slam of the kettle drums the sound does not appear to come from the speakers or drivers themselves, but to emanate from a seamless soundstage. Voice reproduction is beautiful - full-bodied yet realistic, without any graininess or false "edge" to it. I listen to a lot of choral and operatic stuff, besides chamber and orchestral music. Vocal timbres on my favorite-the Karajan La Boheme with Pavarotti and Freni, are perfectly rendered, as is the huge soundstage. On LP's of Fiedler and the Boston Pops, the ambience of the hall as well as the robustness of the brass and slam of the percussion are the best I have heard them rendered. I can't say enough positive about the Enterprises - they just sound "right".

As they used to say on Star Trek, Live Long and Prosper!

More comments from the same owner:

What is startling is how neutral and revealing the speakers are. As an illustration of this point, I had been struggling with choosing between three tonearm cables and two phono stages. With the Enterprises in the system their differences were easily discerned, the shortcomings of the losers being clearly revealed. The system they are in is: Allaerts MCI MkII cartridge, Morch DP-6 tonearm, Merrill Heirloom turntable with Anniversary Ringmat, tonearm cable: solid-core single-stranded pure silver, preamp Klimo Merlin and Argo both heavily modified by Roger Sheker of Audience, amplifier Border Patrol SE300B with cryo'ed transformers, upgraded caps, and Ko-On stepped attenuator, Audience Au24 speaker cables with silver banana plugs, and a McIntosh MR71 FM tuner upgraded by Richard Modafferi. I tried many different CD players but I just can't listen to CD's - there is no emotional connection of digits to music. My room is large - about 15x20 with 9 foot ceilings. ... at normal human listening levels they are very satisfying with the 10 beautiful watts I have to give them. Anyway, I'm a happy customer - these are even better than I expected!
