Never heard of them. From what I can see on their website, they appear to be a new product from BC.

They are looking for reps for some provinces and the US, and their head office is a 604 area code (BC).

Just looking at the weights, they're using cheap materials for the cabinets. Given the dimensions of the big three-way, even 3/4 inch particle board should come close to 60 lbs, these ain't even pushing 40 lbs. Notice that they do not give the crossover freq. in the specs, probably just first order butterworth (just a capacitor or inductor inline between the terminal and speaker).

Now that we've sufficiently bashed them, how do you like them? If you're pleased, then don't worry. If not, play them very hard, blow them up, then upgrade. For the quoted price in their web site, and comparing prices at the dealers they list, you can get very nice Jamo's (which are known world wide as a decent danish company).

The tops and bottoms of the speakers arent even mdf, it is a glossy hard plastic or something similair. The only speakers I have to compare them to is the PSB Image 4t towers that I had running off this same receiver. These definatly have more bass then the PSB's, which is good right now because I dont have any sub. But these arent bright and 'loud' like the PSB's were (both are 91 dB sensitivity). Say listening to the same song at -15 on the receiver (Yama 1500), the bass is louder on these Pro Linear's, but the highs are louder and screaming on the PSB's. Pro-Linear's are 8 ohm PSB's were 6 ohm, so maybe that has something to do with it, but like I said at the same level, quite abit more bass with these Pro-Linear. Also, it seems I can't turn the receiver up as high as I could before. With the PSB's I could turn up to 0 and even into the +'s and it would be LOUD and sound good. These Pro-Linears most songs I cant go higher then -10.

The look of these are nice. They have rounded sides, rather then just a square. Like I said above nice gloss black tops on them, which scratch up very easily. Yep so I guess thats about it!

They look alot like a china product called Koda (Coda?).
Saw the line (Koda) at CES this year as I was walking around.

Stick with the psb's and get yourself a nice sub.
