    There is definately a lot of buzz about these with the audiophile press community (Rocky Mt., CES, Six Moons, Etc.). However, they sell optional "bass generators" for these at $1,795/pair. I think that tells you something about the sound on the low end. As with all open dipole speakers, the bass is always suspect. Optional "bass generators" is a clear admission that you will not be satified with the bass, even though the specs say it will go down to 20 Hz -3 dB. You have to trust your ears.
