I was very impressed with these speakers, although should point out that I'm far from an audio expert. But the sound was extremely clear and well-defined, which is all I wanted (my previous speakers, Q Acoustics 1010s, were slightly muddy and indistinct). Mid-range and top-end are very well-defined, to the extent that the speakers sounded almost too bright to my ears, especially when playing pop and rock music. Added to the fact the speakers lack bottom-end due to their size, maybe they're just too precise for pop and rock?

However, I listen to classical music and these speakers seemed nearly perfect to my ears. Close your eyes and you really can believe you're in the audience, rather than hearing a recording. That's surprisingly rare. I have to boost the bass on my amp very slightly to help warm up the sound, however. The speakers are plugged into an Onkyo CR-515 and rested on a large sturdy sideboard in my front room, so maybe not the perfect situation, but perhaps typical.

I also like the understated looks of the speakers. With their square front and black covers emphasising the vertical, they look like something your dad would have in the 1970s.
