From positive feedback review:

I will not be able to get by completely without one or the other of my test discs. The fact that the Aquilar has something special to offer in the bass range is now certain: Here differentiation, colours and force form an admirable alliance. This is proven particularly strongly with Jonas Hellborgs "Drone" and "Little Wing" on the album Elegantly Punk. The successful combination of energy, depth, quickness, and precision has already made the Aquilar in combination with the Etna an exception. But this is still complemented by a steadfast stability in the imaging, and in spite of the no doubt worn out grooves, still—relatively—an acoustical calm, which I do not remember. The Acoustical Systems is a tremendously dynamic stoic. Or rather a very stoic dynamicist? In any case: The Aquilar is simply one of the best arms that I have ever had the pleasure to hear. And this underlines Jonas Hellborg's "It's The Pits, Slight Return" once again quite emphatically:  So much pressure from such a blackness is simply unique!
