Vol2/No2 March/April 2008

“The Roksan Kandy L.III is easily the most musical of the bunch: it's the most effective communicator by far, by virtue of the information it manages to scavenge and the slick, perfectly ordered yet easy manner in which it presents it ... Throughout the review I never once heard it issue signs of distress or falter when the music became challenging".

... If you want your cake completely iced and decorated with candles and ribbons, spend your money on the Kandy”.

"The new Kandy sounds spectacular...we sweated buckets of blood trying to make the Kandy LIII uncomfortable, but without success - it's a true all-rounder, excelling with every type of music you play through it".
