Thank you my friends. I am just over the moon with them. Everything about them hits my happy buttons. They are massively dynamic, midrange has amazing voicing, it's texture and depth is breathtaking. Everything is effortless. The low end is very present, very impactful. Very listenable with no fatigue.
@willywonka Currently i have them paired with my McIntosh 240 and a Rogue RP1 preamp. It's a very nice and sweet sounding combo. They are plenty sensitive at 97db so 40W is plenty. When I was at the shop Greg was running a Cary SLI80 and that sounded amazing too. He really likes tube amplification with them, but said also that good SS power sounds great too. I'm picking up a hybrid integrated tomorrow as my spouse is so impressed that she's wanting to listen more often to her awful music. (need something more user friendly). I'm picking up the Margules ACRH - 3 tomorrow. 100WPC. Low level listening to me sounds just as engaging, just as sweet dynamic and clear.
