Here's what High Fidelity had to say
'But if one listens to the music I mentioned before sound will be amazingly palpable. It will fulfill expectations of those who search for a rich, clear and close sound rather than presented in a distance. Depth of the sound in outstanding and I am sure that one could credit low-distortion drivers and resonance-resistant (coloration free) cabinets for that. Make and finish is top class. Also elements used for both products are of top quality. Rumen Atarski developed a system he can be proud of.'
It received 5 starts from Myrek Dyba of HiFi Choice.
and from Sound Rebels,
'With my musical preferences, the dynamics and immediacy of the Thraxes is extremely attractive, because it did not limit me in any way in reaching for any difficult repertoire. Similarly to the resolution and the ability to view any nook and cranny of the recording, it opened up new layers of previously unknown information for me. Contact with the Bulgarian set was like riding a roller coaster to the snow-capped alpine peak. A peak from which on a brisk sunny morning you can see everything better, more accurately and more truly. And if someone during this trip gets dizzy from the excess of sensations and impressions, then… they can always slow down a bit and continue their audiophile journey at a slightly more walking pace.'
