"My apartment has nice acoustics but these speakers deliver a very musical response, both rich and clear, which is amazing for their size and price".

1992 GRAMMY Award winning Classical Producer of the Year, Michael Fine was formerly Vice President of Producer Michael Fine Artists & Repertoire at Deutsche Grammophon. The first American to hold the post of Artistic Director of the hundred year old label, Fine produced the label's top selling releases for 1997, 1998 and 1999 - A Hymn for the World and Voices from Heaven with Cecilia Bartoli, Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel and Myung-Whun Chung and Anne-Sophie Mutter's new recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. Responsible for overseeing the recording activity of the prestigious label,

Fine produced many recordings with Anne-Sophie Mutter, Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Myung-Whun Chung. Prior to joining DGG in 1997, he was Vice President & General Manager of KOCH International Classics, a label he launched in 1990 with the critically acclaimed world premiere recording of Leonard Bernstein's Arias and Barcarolles. The international best seller won a GRAMMY Award and appeared on BILLBOARD's crossover chart. Under Fine's direction the label quickly developed a reputation as one of the most innovative in the world: as Fanfare Magazine put it: "the most consistently interesting label."
