I would give these speakers another shot in different room with a different amp, but I still don't think I'd end up owning them even if I had the cash.Analog: MoFi MasterTracker > MoFi UltraDeck > Sutherland 20/20
Digital: Cambridge CXC / Streaming > Cambridge CXN v2
MastersounD Dueventi > Rosso Fiorentino Certaldo or Arcam rHead > Hifiman HE4XX

Ahhh, 200 watts, the key to all quality playback- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

I need to hear them... side by side, in my room, against the 1.2TL's. I was trying to get something off the ground to do that but thanks to that virus we cannot mention because some of you might get triggered, all of that got put on the back burner...The Gear...

My first time in wanting to hear them after that video. Kevin Deal is a superior salesman!"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.

Speaking of 200 watts, where has Cathy been? I took a short break and don't pop in here as often, although I do lurk at least once a day.
I don't recall her posting in awhile. I understand if she's moved on, but I hope all is well with her.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -

The "I don't want to give them back" statement says a lot. As well as that the speakers are unusual.

I have to agree, i found just moving them apart from 4.6ft to 5 ft and sitting 8 feet from them gave a much wider and deeper stage.
