Morel Supremo 6 - Reining Supreme

And then there are the drums. The beat of the bongos to the left and right of the stage weren't as distinct as I'd prefer, missing about an octave in their fundamental response. About all that was really present were the skin tones of the hand meeting the hide, yet that was enough to provide adequate division between the left and right - important since the fundamental can be filled in by a mono-driven subwoofer. When the big drum bangs in halfway through the track, the extension was again noted as lacking fundamental, but the kick drum and drum set were perfect and easily distinguished among all the other percussive instruments. Another impressive performance, and a good way to end my listening.Score: 9/10

Conclusion
As I mentioned toward the beginning, the success of any great audio system starts with its drivers. Being no stranger to their product, this review was just more evidence to me that Morel is determined to build what it takes - exceptional drivers. In my opinion, the Supremo Piccolo tweeters are the stars of this system, bringing out the minutest details in every genre of music I threw at them. Not to knock the invested technology in the Supremo SW6 woofers and surreal crossovers - they do an outstanding job of complementing the Piccolo in delivering a near flawless performance. Their $2,200 price tag may be a little steep, but in this case you do get what you pay for.

So back to my original question: Is the Supremo 6 the one component speaker set by which all others will be judged? Well, I can't give an absolute yes, but I can tell you it certainly will be the choice for this reviewer to reference in the future. Kudos to Morel for setting such a standard.
