“The bass is extremely dynamic and extended, almost reminiscent of a nuclear reactor: relatively small, yet an immensely powerful source of energy.”
The HiFi Pig
"The second thing that stood out with the Blooms was the soundstaging, and this was also highlighted during that Kraftwerk album and the track Metal on Metal. There was a sound amongst the panned percussion (that itself was flying all over the soundstage) that jumped out of the stage in a very three-dimensional kind of way; I love all that kind of psychoacoustic stuff, and when a speaker presents it well, it reminds me of why I followed the audio path, all those years ago."
Mono & Stereo
"What stands out the most is the Challenger II’s ability to get to the core of the music, revealing layers upon layers of the music with a delicate touch, effortlessly moving air while transmitting the sound into the listening space."

"The impression was of a big loudspeaker with huge displacement combined with the coherence of a mini-monitor - and the speakers themselves vanished acoustically"
HiFi Pig
"...the brand has managed to create a product that ticks all the nerdy audiophile boxes in a package that looks fantastic. I think thee speakers offer something that can be seen as a luxury lifestyle product that also performs sonically and so straddles that designophile/audiophile market perfectly – there should be more of this in my opinion!"
The Absolute Sound
"The Silent Pound speakers are rarities in the game-of-inches world of high-end audio, a commercial space where competition for the attention of knowledgeable and motivated consumers can be fierce. The Bloom and its larger sibling bring something new to the table, the realization of a technological concept that helps to democratize the quest for sonic excellence. Thanks to the benefits of constant directivity to most sonic parameters, these impeccably built and elegant-looking loudspeakers offer music lovers without a palatial listening room or the bank account of a tech magnate more than a taste of what’s possible with the quest for sonic authenticity."
The Ear
"...the Silent Pound Challenger is quite an achievement. Not only is it really well built and finished but attention to detail in both the industrial and acoustic design mean that the Challenger emerges fully formed onto the high end scene."

"The Silent Pound Challenger Ils' place in loudspeaker design can be summed up in a single sentence: there's never been anything quite like it before."
Revista On Off
"The open-baffle bass section (which usually performs less strongly than sealed or reflex enclosures) surprised me with its capability; in fact, on one track at high volume I asked to “cut back” (easily done with a switch in the crossover for that purpose), although at normal listening levels the original balance is perfect."

"Dynamics and space. Strong bass impact, clear treble, precise soundstage."
