They are colorless and accurate, with a high soundstage. Because they are line sources, stereo imaging remains good in a large listening area. They are beautiful furniture. One user has a 1Kw Carver power amp on each channel, and they still lack balls. Deep bass is weak, but even overall strength is not there at higher SPL's. I think there are more satisfying cone drivers at that price. Tristram -- David Tristram 1661, tristram@sgi.com So close, it feels like mine.
