I heard these just the other day for the first time and was blown away by their performance! Incredible bass for their size and great clarity and layering. The incredible thing was their pairing with the Sound Quest SQ-84, a 10W tubed integrated. A magical pairing! I had never heard either of these before, and wasn't even planning on giving them a listen, I was just getting the 'tour' on my first visit to Quest for Sound and was immediately taken at the musicality of this system!
