The sound produced by Shadow speakers has been described as revealing, tight, and wide. What do these descriptions mean? Read on...

Revealing

Shadow speakers do an excellent job of bringing out tiny details in music. When you listen to your favourite songs on mass produced speakers they tend to mask the more complex sounds. Shadow speakers do not mask anything when they reproduce sounds. The titanium tweeters bring out the most complex sounds and patterns usually masked by lesser speakers. This isn't to say that they are bright or harsh but they will let you hear the music as it was meant to be heard.

Tight

One of the nicest characteristics of the Shadow speakers is their lack of sloppy bass. Because the Shadows use smaller 5 1/4" woofer drivers they are significantly less prone to distortion suffered by larger woofer cones. The light and rigid polypropylene woofer cones do a great job of reproducing upper mid-bass, mid-bass, and lower mid-bass. Because of their size they won't shake the room or rattle your teeth but that was never their intention. As it is, the Shadow speakers do an amazing job of reproducing all but the lowest bass while really filling out blues, jazz, classical, and classic rock as well as various other genres.


Wide

By using thin, deep cabinets the Shadow speakers are able to produce amazing soundstages. This means they are able to reproduce stereo sounds with very good point source imaging, something many mass produced speakers are simply unable to accomplish. What a wide soundstage provides you is the ability to pin-point the 3d location of instruments. For example, when you hear the trumpet it can sound as if it's slightly to the right of centre and farther back while the guitar may sound like it's coming from the far left.
