                Hans J. Klarskov Mortensen, Denmark - PLUTO 2.1+

"Building the Pluto-2.1 was a great project. I had no prior experience with a soldering gun but thanks to the instructions and a knowledgeable friend it all worked out. The sound of the Pluto-2.1 delivers exactly what is described on the website and by other builders. After spending a lot of money over the years on Hi-Fi these little speakers are all one really needs. Plug them in, forget the gear and enjoy the music. They are very good at creating the stereo illusion in a variety of settings and acoustics. They are enjoyable to listen to from any seating position and are truly revealing in the sweet spot. They are easy on the ears for long periods of listening and contrary to more complex and expensive set-ups I find them more forgiving on less than perfect recordings. The fact one can throw them in the car to demonstrate anywhere with any device is icing on the cake. I will certainly build other Pluto's (for the office, the workshop, the garage...)"

PLUTO-2.1 System made in China for the domestic high-end audio market. Pipes and enclosures are made from Aluminum. Four power amplifiers, line level analog crossovers and equalization are combined with a stereo preamplifier and input selector in the same enclosure. They can be operated by remote control. www.linkwitzworks.com  - - Review by "Hifi Pig"

Ruediger Rauskolb, Spain Inspired by omni and dipole performance after having built ORION, PLUTO, LX521, NaO Note II RS, Nathan, and purchased Duevel Venus.

The dipole woofer was later replaced by the PLUTO+ sealed box woofer for greater output.
