I tend to agree with Jorgeparrapuppy. I had a pair of 2.5i's for a few years in the late 90's and it wasn't the upstream components that were the issue unless you consider McIntosh MC-60's and ARC D-115 amplifiers with ARC SP-8 and CAT preamps poor matches. The upper midrange and treble on this speaker always had an edginess and shouty quality that I just couldn't tame. The bass was just superb and the speaker exibited very good detail however. Not a bad speaker particularly at the price but certainly not a great one either, at least for my taste.
