I tend to agree with Semi. if you do not have enough power to drive these babies, then you have not heard really good extrema yet.

Review: Symphonic Line Legato Speaker
GREAT REVIEW ON A GREAT PRODUCT. THANK YOU. 
Pass Labs X350 versus Plinius SA250IV
hi, Dyns sounds a little bit cold and analytical to my year.so, in this case, a sweeter Plinius will be better match. Warning for Dyns, the key issue is how to drive it to its full potential. I have heard so many Dyns are underpowered. 
Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there?
Spendors rule..... 
OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000?
I propose Symphonic Line with super power supply for $8000.One of the best Preamps commercially available.
