i use the mezzos with cj's premier 12 amps and a wadia 850 directly into the amps. i absoluetly love them. they handle all kinds of music well and particularly love femal vocals and anything acoustic/unplugged (or, maybe that's just me?). bass is firm, mids are wonderfully life-like and highs are crisp and sharp (but not at all etched; very fluid and natural sounding). their set up in my last apartment was less than optimal, nevertheless, i was really happy with their imaging and the depth of their soundstage. the build quality is excellent as is their customer support. (i e-mailed a question back to france and had a pretty detailed reply within about a week.) take a look at audioreview.com--there are about 8-10 reviews, most positive. if i recall correctly, the negative reviews related to pricing. before i purchased mine, i compared them with a bunch of others, including jm lab's electra 920, wilson's watt/puppy 6, revel's salon, eggy's rosa and audio physics' virgo. all of that said, i've heard they also sing when run by hybrids, but i have no idea how they pair with ss amps. feel free to shoot me an e-mail if you'd like further detail. good luck.
