    So are the "new" speakers bookies like the F-Carbon 7s or are we upping the size some?

    Last time I checked, no. But I have been. My audio life is a little better not having a legal attachment of the opposite sex. :cheesygrin:

    Looks like a really interesting home Monitor-type. Does it have the so-called British sound. I've been playing with some old time Celestions of late and am getting pretty tuned into that sound...I'm sure these are a big step forward!

    How about an in depth "review" when everything is set up?
