I think much of how these speakers are going to sound is very room dependant. When I auditioned these speakers I found thay sounded better in my room with the woofers firing backwards. After that, I auditioned the Fidelios and found them to be just right in my room, with my system! Nice tight bass, huge soundstage and great midrange which is what they are known for. Very engaging speakers that pull you in and just keep getting better. Detail at low volume is impressive and I always find myself thinking--these are great speakers! As always, you must audition and play around with placement to hear what really sounds best to you. I don't have to tell you that you have a fantastic pair of speakers--you know that. Take some time to play around and experiment with them. Good luck and enjoy.
