Review
The bass of the CS 514 was found weak, but free at least from serious boom, and while it was reasonably tidy and controlled overall, it seriously lacked depth and dynamics. Stereo focus was satisfactory - £65 HiFi Choice 1984
Dual have had to make some compromises to keep down the cost but it can't be beaten at the price - Stereo Magazine 1984
