Advantages: A balanced, crisp and authoritative sound reproduction. Very classy. Disadvantages: Nothing to worry about.
I have had these speakers for 6 months now and I can say they are one of the best purchases I have ever made. A delight to listen to with a wide variety of music, they are exceptionally well balanced throughout the range, with tight bass, clear mid and upper ranges. More than any other component in my system, they have transformed the sound. Even with a cheap CD player and 2nd hand Cyrus 2 amp (15 years old?) they sound fantastic.
