Mezzo uses patent pending proprietary Aspirated Tweeter Technology (ATT) - a truly ground breaking design that was first seen in the now legendary Performance series. Using state-of the-art injection moulding, the elongated unit whose form is defined by complex acoustic principles - floats freely in a discrete enclosure. Along its length are strategically positioned vents eliminating the colouration which plagues traditional closed-back designs. This unusual venting system means Mezzo's high frequency drivers literally 'breathe', resulting in an open yet detailed sound.
Mordaunt-Short uses an advanced alumninium dome tweeter which the company has been perfecting for over 20 years. The ultra thin diaphragm and compression moulded surround is mounted on a low resonance chassis. The tweeter utilises a high temperature voice coil with liquid cooling and damping to ensure controlled high frequency performance with excellent detail.
  "Mordaunt-Short's Mezzo home theatre speaker system sounds excellent, looks absolutely gorgeous, and is engineered (especially the subwoofer) to ensure that you can extract the highest performance of which it is capable." 
Sound & Image (Australia) April 2009 "After tests, it seems that this complete package offers a very precise sound, it’s exceptional."Les Années Laser (France) March 2009 "At the other end of the cinematic scale, when the going gets quiet and creepy, the M-S package ramps up the tension thanks to its fine detail retrieval and focused, revealing centre-channel dialogue."What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision November 2008 "Any speaker can manage silence, but few speakers can handle near-silence. The Mezzos’ adroit handling of micro-details achieved the intended effect... these speakers have few chinks in their armor."Home Theater (USA) September 2008(Reviewed with Mezzo 2 standmounts, 6 floorstanders and 9 subwoofer)"The stand out element from this collection of audiophile delectableness is Mordaunt-Short's new Mezzo. For the price, we can't think of anything that beats it. The curved cabinet prevents soundwaves from building up, thus creating a crisper, clearer sound."T3 September 2008 (Reviewed with Mezzo 1 satellites, 6 floorstanders and 9 subwoofer)Click here to read the full review  "I have little hesitation declaring that this is an ideal home cinema package for a buyer with audiophile sensibilities... a serious system for lovers of both music and movies."Home Cinema Choice September 2008(Reviewed with Mezzo 1 satellites, 6 floorstanders and 9 subwoofer)
