Heard a pair at the Rocky Mountain Audio fest --- I think about a 7-8K pair of speakers. The system was rich sounding, full-bodied, had great tone, was very, very smooth and yet was engaging. That system --- probably 30K total (with electronics) was among the top 5-6 sounding rooms I heard. The average room was probably 80K at least. The Ryan speakers in that system smoked a bunch of 200K systems. It was great in the absolute (like I said 5th or 6th best sounding room) --- and, among the others so ranked, was by far the best value.
So... rather impressed.
