"I would like to request our Piccolo speaker for review. It will amaze you if you turn the volume up and close your eyes while hearing a woman sing. We have been developing the Piccolo for almost one year and I have spun off and founded iNNoSound in February of this year. Our homepage is under construction and will be open in one or two months. The speaker voicing was performed by Mr. Huh, president of Cassiopeia Acoustics. He is my friend at the Seoul National University and has a great reputation for hifi speaker design in Korea." |
