Home Theater Shack ’s Jim Wilson says, “The Wavecrest Audio HVL-1 are the newest to catch my attention, and don't be at all surprised if they become very popular. They're pretty generic looks-wise, but man, do these things sound amazing. Were I blindfolded and forced to guess their price, I would have speculated they cost about twice what they do. Smooth, balanced, and poised, the HVL-1 should be prized by every audiophile on a budget. Virtually impervious to volume and capable of producing incredible nuances, these speakers are a true bargain.”
