General Comments

I purchased these cresta 3 floorstanders from richer sounds for £110!!! which is pretty damn cheap in my eyes. I heard reviews saying that they lack bass, WHATEVER!?* i am using a NAD c350 amp with a NAD C510 CD player and the bass is fabulous. i have moved them away from the walls as it created punchy bass which felt a little harsh, They have excellent stereo imagery
and feel very natural. Their strong points are vocals, they ooze syphistication and are quite obvious to be a £250 floorstander. I reccomend you to bi-wire them, fantastic results.

    I agree about not being able to fill and the not liking walls but I also think that there skipes are far too long and make them a bit unstable and need a lot of tweaking. I have heard better out there like Linn Ninka's but the budget does not allow for them. Overall not bad and were cheap and good value for money. I don't usually like Bass ported speakers and I suggest you block up the ports with an old pair of socks and this improves the sound so much. Most speakers hate walls and a suggestion is to get a sound pressure meter to get this right. They Need to be roughly about 45cm from the wall and one needs to create a sweetspot. A tip would be to have the angling just right without the spikes and when the spot has been found to mark it out and once spikes are tweeked to make level place on marked area.
