"I must say that I have never had so much enjoyment at a desk. The Swans finished ahead of the pack by a great measure. Playing ‘All or Nothing at All' (Diana Krall, Love Scenes, Impulse, IMPD233), the HK195 barely allowed the instruments to be recognized, the double-bass and guitar could not be heard at all at the 60 dB setting. The only speakers that gave me any joy on this recording were the Swans. The double-bass was properly weighted at both the 60 dB and the 80 dB setting, with no hint of distortion or compression. If you crave listening to music at your desk, and want it with some semblance of high fidelity, get the Swans." - Arvind Kohli, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity

"If there is one thing that has set FiringSquad apart from our colleagues, it is our multimedia expertise. Swans' flagship 2.2 speaker costs a staggering $68,000.00/pair and even at that price, it was a Best of CES 2003 finalist. The T200a I selected for this project is a much more palatable $480/pair and represents their flagship powered speaker. As nice as these speakers look, they sound even better. There is an uncanny transparency with these speakers offering life-like midrange purity, and detail – all while providing a musical neutrality that is never fatiguing…imparting a flavor along the lines of Dynaudio Audience speakers or the Sennheiser HD590 headphones. We have never reviewed better loudspeakers at FiringSquad." - Firing Squad (click logo for full review)
