amazing soundstage and literaly disappear..also remember to load them at base for the most amazing bass."
"it is the amazing ability with vocals (any) that win you over.
So simple and uncomplicated is the delivery that you sit and stare"
"These are by far the most musical speakers I have ever owned."
"the midrange is warm, fluid, and realistic, probably the best part about this speaker.
The highs are satisfying without being 'bright' or harsh.
Imaging is deep, wide and stable."
