Was anyone else as impressed by these speakers at HE 2004 as I was? I thought their performance was stupendous, and can only wonder what the bigger models sound like.

Yeah, I've been at this for 25 years and these may be the best smaller room speakers I've heard for conventional cones and magnets.

I thought they sounded spectacular but there were some very friendly room modes at work with many of the cuts. This is not a criticism of the speaker, just an observation about the demo conditions.
I purchased these speakers before the show and was initially underwhelmed. I have allowed them to break-in probably about 50 hrs. I did attend the show and do agree that they sounded great. I can tell you that since they have broken in some, that their sound in my room is now awesome. I do not have any room treatments and have not even insert the spiked feet and feel that my sound is close to the demo room. My wife even noticed the difference. Break-in period is 200 hours so I can't wait. These are definitely great speakers.
