Compact Tower Opinions
Yup...they are by no means perfect, but they do make "music"! One other caveat I meant to include in the earlier post...if you want to peel paint with sound volume, enjoy LOUD rock at live concert levels (100db+?), these probably ain’t gonna be th... 
Compact Tower Opinions
@tfats - Hope you get to do some auditioning first and find something that’s right for your ears, gear and room. I’ve owned a pair of Totem Forests since 2007. Could have upgraded (e.g., to Forest Signatures or other) in the years since but chose ...

Andrew Hill's "Passing Ships".  Recorded way back in 1969 but only released in 2003.  A "nonet"! The title track here.  It ain't sweet sounding soprano sax or oboe stating the melody but rather English Horn in the hands of Joe Farrell (given name:... 
Diagonal Connection With Two Pairs Of Binding Posts
@ericschI second what Nonoise (and others?) have said about getting the best jumpers you can afford. After living with mftr. supplied jumpers and trying DIY (didn’t hear a significant change), I finally sprang for a used set of mid product range C...
