I heard the raimakers vs Contour S1.4 with KAV 400 and a FMJ CD and to me thye Raimakers sounded more clear more image at 1/3 of the price. Also tighther more controlled bass
I removed my post because I realized it was the model 1's I had heard and not the mani's. But yes I came to the conclusion that for the price these little rainmakers were great. The bass response is just right for me and yes is accurate if not exceeding specs.
eduardo...IIRC Model 1 Signature is $2750 CDN retail in the optional cherry finish, which works out to about $2275 US at current conversion rates. Your mileage may vary, but it'll be around there. Incredible speaker.
