At the risk of disagreeing I have had the c8ltd for some time now (3 months) and been very pleased. Speakers will of course be a very personel thing and so I will not argue with those that don't like the sound. I have heard a substantial number of friends with healthy musical interests (audiophile and non) and to a T they have liked the new speakers a lot (even those much more set and horn oriented). I did hear from a friend who has heard mine and was at ces and he was not very impressed with the piega room though he thought they sounded superb in my place. In the end I would try to audition and see if it matches your taste
