My father-in-law has these set up practically flush against a brick wall, and side walls are brick, with an echo, in a basement. He uses a thirty year old Sony mid-fi receiver, and a fifteen year old low-fi CDP, so by listening through dual hearing aids he is happy.
Perhaps, these are better than they seem, because one can stand in the same room with them, and not run out screaming.
I still use a pair of DAK condenser microphones feeding a high end portable cassette Sony tape recorder, so your mention of the long departed Dak Company is a nostalgia trip.
