Nice speakers, nice sound, and informative. Thank you for the post, as I am interested in hearing these live.
But any decent speaker of decent clarity can play the kind of music you played and play it well. If that is the only type of music you play, then they are awesome speakers. But for me, where I find most "hi-fi" speakers (systems) falter is then also playing energetic music with brass or electric guitars. That's when I hear high frequency hash to the point of being unbearable for me, or causing immediate tinnitus. Or the bass gets to be overpowering, so much so that it is not enjoyable. How do these fare with rock and roll? (I don't expect a perfect, live performance sound, but they must at least still be enjoyable, or at least not cause me to wince. I want both types of music to be enjoyable.)
