I owned Circes for about 4 years and loved everything about them except their looks. They took a long time to place correctly (closer together than other speakers) but they sounded great in my room with a wide range of music. Maybe they are more forgiving than other speakers, but they were always a pleasure to listen to, from early Bix to Nat Cole, to Charlie Parker, to Coltrane. They did sound somewhat boxless, but due to the close placement, the soundstage was not quite as wide as you might be used to. Bass was very solid but not as powerful as you might expect with those big 10 inch woofers. I drove mine with 110 watts per channel of tube power and that was more than enough.
