I have had these speakers for 4 months.This is one of the most natural sounding speakers I have heard.The bass is quick and deep for an 8.5"driver.The mids and highs are detail.I can listen to these speakers for a long time and not get fatigued.On vocals you can close your eyes and you are thare. they do take a least 100 hours to break in.I have them placed 2.5 feet from the rear and side walls. I hope this helped Louis
