This set of reference bookshelf speakers are from China's premier speaker manufacturer - Compact Loudspeakers and they are unquestionably the finest bookshelf we have heard from many different brands. 

The Compact XZ-2 Signature speakers are designed and engineered by ScanSpeak's previous Chief Designer for Asian market with his signature on every set of speaker to confirm the superior sound quality. Hand-picked top of the line drivers from Scan-Speak plus 25mm MDF cabinets with Mahogany veneer make this speaker not only an eye candy, but also an absolute ear candy. 

Since its introduction in China in April 2009, the XZ-2 Signature bookshelf speakers have received numerous positive feedback plus several reviews from Chinese audiophile magazines. 

How does it sound? Chinese reviewers said: "it is clear, accurate, very detailed and full of energy... it has wide and deep sound stage, reproduce the LS3/5A's relaxed sound but with a lot more details on high frequency and plenty of deep bass".  To truly show the full potential of the deep bass of the XZ-2 Signature speakers, it's highly recommended to use high power amplifiers. 

Grant Fidelity has auditioned numerous speakers from our China factory tour. These are the best from China among what we have listened to, period.
