The Absolute Sound's executive editor, Jonathan Valin named the Hailey 2.2 as best in show for loudspeakers over 20K.
"The Hailey 2.2 generated phenomenal dynamics on a Count Basie LP, with a terrific bottom octave, great density of tone color, and horripilating dynamic impact! Combining utter control and definition with granitic power from top to bottom, the Hailey was superb."
