"Bass instruments - whether they be double-basses, piano or bass guitars - have realistic speed and definition. They are remarkably agile, dynamic, detailed, uncoloured and musically adept, in the mould of a true domestic 'monitor'. The FB1 proves that transmission lines can indeed deliver the goods, while maintaining neutrality and musical integrity."
