relja - Just wondering in what way they dissapointed you. I feel the same way. I look through the catalog and think, "somebody has hit a home run with these designs". Of course I'm looking for a rock speaker, one that gives me the feel of a live concert. I would think that all those drivers will move massive amounts of air, but like you say, " looks can be deceiving". I live near Salt Lake City, and to hear these I've got to travel. I want to make sure it's worth my trip. Thanks
