Golden ear Technology reference

I’ve heard them paired with Marantz top level amplifiers, I think they were the PM10, and the sounded extremely dynamic but a tad too sterile to my ears.  Incredible bass response and top to bottom balance but not as engaging for me. They may and probably will sound very different with different amplifiers. 

stereo5, there’s no doubt they are great speakers as they should be for their price and I think your McIntosh tube preamp and the McIntosh amplifier combination are giving them that “warmth” and musicality that I felt they lacked during my short audition. You have hit the right synergy formula and I’m sure they sound excellent.
