"I was impressed by how well the Athena subwoofer and monitor integrated. There's no need to fuss with phase, no need to adjust the bass-frequency control. Just adjust the bass level: seamless sound."

"I recommend these speakers. There were times when I preferred the P3 / S3 combination to just about any other speakers we've had in our living room. I love that deep bass while playing Mahler or Tchaikovsky or Shostakovich. Or piano recordings."

"You could pay $10,000 or more for a full-range speaker system and still not have bass as satisfying as you could get from the S3 / P3 combination… Considering the price - $1800 for the S3 / P3 pair – it's remarkable how much you get with the Athena combination and how little you give up."

"I'm impressed. Very good sound. And great value for money."
