Try them with quality amps and you would be well astound by the GP's. Truly great speakers which don't cost a fortune.

I first used a Classe CAP-100 and was never really impressed with the sound. Hooked up the GP's to the ARC D130 and just a slight improvement. It was when I changed to the high-current Plinius SA-100MkIII everything came to life. The dynamics and transient attack was incredible.
