Sound quality: Lodge Sound's Solar Speaker 4 Series 2 had very good overall sound quality - although it has some noticeable sonic quirks, this model reproduces music and dialog very well. Bass has good impact, and goes fairly deep, but is a touch boomy. Midrange is fairly even, but is somewhat hazy, a bit grainy, and a touch etched and nasal. Treble is fairly extended, but is a bit prominent, smeared and sizzly. It does a decent job of recovering room ambience and is a bit congested. The speaker is monophonic. When two units are used as a stereo pair the sound stage can be made wider depending on placement. Provides a decent volume level in a large sized room.
