I own 10ts and have really enjoyed them. they are a great all-arounder: they can play subtle close-miked jazz records, rock out and also do acoustics very well. tight, fast bass and a sweet midrange for voices and piano, trumpet and guitar. the speaker that i was considering buying when i bought these was the wilson watt/pup 6 ( which was just too too something..) i liked it's bass ok - it was the treble that would fatigue me after 40mins of listening.. images reasonably.. when i bought them i was looking to recapture the pure fun i had with my first "high-end-ish" speakers: the mirage M3si i think was the model.. fun speaker but not as revealing as the 10T. 10T needs juice however - i run it with a Krell FPB600 and Spectral pre and digital gear. LInn LP12 for analogue. I do think the 10T is a giant killer in its price range. HOpe that helps.
