Just a good word on behalf of the Solo's which have never sounded aggressive or fatiguing in my system driven at moderate levels as nearfield monitors by modest Sound Valves 35 watts per channel tube amp. When originally auditioned years ago with high output transistor super amp there was positive impression by many listeners/purchasers at one audio store where it was being demonstrated as something of a giant killer. There seems to be some deficiency of component synergy at work in order to explain how these fine speakers have disappointed some careful listeners. I have owned speakers more forgiving of bad recordings, such as British Spendor stand mounted models, but in my system even those with superior high frequency hearing have been enjoying the Solo's. Even around $600-700 represent a good value if you wish to avoid sub-woofer envy felt by many small monitor speaker owners.

Hi There:
would appreciate any thoughts and experiences on the sonic character of these two fine monitors and how they compare to each other,i currently have the solos and like them but you know how it is,here is the rest of my system.
sft-1 transport
resolution audio quantum double dacs in balanced mode
simaudio moon i-5 integrated 70w p/c but handles the power hungry solos just fine.
tad power purifier
yamamura quantum and jps labs p/c's
omega mikro ic's
syn research ref x-series spk cables.
