I am sitting in here listening to these awesome little freaks of nature hooked up to my new (to me) NAD C372 integrated, and all I have to say is WOW. They are amazingly clear and accurate, though a little brighter than the Tannoys they replace...Not a bad thing though, the Tannoys were VERY laid back...The amount of sound that comes from these is amazing considering the size, they are really deceiving.
All of that said, my one complaint is there is a real lack of low end, but I kinda expected that to be honest. Hell, look at them. All of eight inches tall, six deep, and maybe 5.5" wide if you count the side grills. I can get a decent amount of kinda low end if I play with my tone controls, but it honestly sounds muddier than hell after a certain point if I do that....
I couldn't be happier with the sound and performance of these, and after I pick up a small sub, it will only get better. I thought they were going to be bigger, I was almost concerned....Haha, silly me. These are incredible little speakers, and for the price and the amount of space I had, I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done much better...I can't wait to find a sub and get that Cambridge CDP from Doro, then I should be in audio nirvana for a while...:D

Glad you are enjoying them, Bill. And, they will only get better and better once they get some more hours on them. Maybe you can find a C272 amp for bridging. Man, that would be the shiznit!

I was on the prowl for one, but I really need some low end help first.
