they are great speakers!!! The only review that wasn't just awesome was stereophile. Everyone else gave rave reviews and even bought the review pair. I owned them for 3 years and the only reason I still don't have them is I moved to a house with a smaller room. They are extemely fast, musical and detailed. They have incredible, fast accurate bass, with great midrange and extended, non fatiguing highs. They maintain a flat frequency response (8 ohlms, I think) and can pair with solid state or low powered sets since their 93 db efficient. I suggest you give them a listen. I don't think you can find a better pair of speakers than that for under 30k.
