Reviewed by Russell Williams
Like any £500 speaker, the 99.25s aren't perfect but what they do well, they do really well for the price. They won't flatter harsh recordings or forward sounding electronics, but partner with something neutral or warmer sounding and the levels of real mid-band and treble detail on offer are excellent. Bass depth and power is par for the course and tuneful, which is preferable to the alternative. 'Tuned' for movies and with a subwoofer in tow, they really do punch above their weight for the money, but that caveat to that is such value is achieved by cutting out traditional retailers, something that is a lot less risky with subwoofers than it is with speakers and their intensely personal nature.

Thankyou Russell

Yet another fantastic review, just a shame the speaker dimensions are too large for me to accomodate (centre speaker being the main problem) as I would love to try these out

Thanks russell for the review and congratulations for switching to new role

Thanks chaps. I'm certainly looking forward to the challenge reviewing in an official capacity is going to present, as it will result in hearing stuff that I wouldn't normally have looked at for my own personal purposes.

It should be very interesting indeed.

Thanks Russ for identifying 'Big budget sound' in small budget.

Can I be a bit cheeky and ask if you can do a dummy's guide on certain key component areas of AV to help people like me
