Verdict

I was really surprised that such beautiful speakers can still present a brilliant sound. According to my definition, CG Towers easily crosses the border of high-end audio. They cost a lot, but the price is justified by the sound and the looks. It doesn’t matter whether we look at them from the point of view of appearance, quality of workmanship or sound performance. Italian speakers gave such a show that it was a shame to stop them, even with the much cheaper amplifier. The CG Towers hit the high spot of my private list named ‘one day’, which is also occupied by the Electrocompaniet AW 180 monoblocks, AVID turntable and the Bentley Brooklands. If you look at the case from that perspective, the Audels seem to be inexpensive.
