“This was one enjoyable ride. All things considered, the outcome with Zeth floorstanders turned out to be great. For the price of 9WST Mk2, that’s a major and very positive surprise. […] Let me stress again that the sound was exceptionally pleasant; rich, well-bodied, smooth, coherent, properly textured and vivid.”

“One could spend much more time writing about the qualities and benefits of Bielsko-Biala amps, but I think that’s enough. It’s just a pure high-fidelity. These are the amplifiers with very high-end quality. The Egg-Shell Prestige 9WST delivers the sound of maturity and sophistication. It can be compared to a vacuum tube devices like Leben or Cary Audio – a similar class elegant and sophisticated style sound.”
