I am generally not a fan of them either based on my listens to Paradigm and Focal and I initially called him about the Carbon Mk II but after a couple of hours of discussion on two separate occasions he encouraged me to give it a try. This pair had a couple of hundred hours on it already when I received them. I gave them another 100 hours and then this afternoon put them in the Main system in place of the Verity Otello's and was quite impressed. No metallic sounds that I heard in about three hours of listening. I am going to give them another five days 24/7 back in the Office system before making a final decision. Was quit impressed with the bass output on several Ray Brown CD's as I left the twin Rythmik's off for this test.
