Are these speakers really that good ?       are there any weaknesses of these speakers that one should consider before buying them ?

looking for a monitor speaker that has a low sensitivity and these have me thinking about them.

had a pair of Dali Zensors that I really like , but the tweeter went out in one of the speakers and looking for a replacement.

other ideas welcome....and looking for a monitor in the $500-1200 range

equipment used is 

ayre cd player
innersound esl 300 amp
aric audio tube preamp.
2 svs subs

i dont know how accurate the app is....but that is what it says.     

whether one thinks its loud or not is not the issue and I have had the Dali's for a while now and something happened that the tweeter just stopped working.

just looking for a replacement speaker.

Why not look for a replacement tweeter, or replace both to keep them matched.

and I did think of that....and went to the Dali site to look for a us dealer, but it didnt show one ?    but there is a member / dealer on here   , so might contact him to see all what is involved.

i dont listen to loud anymore......according to the app I use, listening is around 90-93 dB.

for the tweeter on the Dali, I had the system on the day before and it was fine and wasnt playing it loud at all....and next day , no top end in the speaker and checked all connections and swapped cables around and its the speaker.

the sound from the Dali and svs subs actually sounded clearer than the Magnepan 1.7's that I had.      heard a lot more of the music using these monitors.                  

The only weakness I can think of is that they require expensive and big amplification

how much bigger of a amp do I need ?      the Innersound should be more than enough.
