    I am running the High Fidelity Cables Revel RCA. They replaced my wireworld eclipse.
    I feel they are more open then the regular eclipse but, the break in period is very long. I believe skip is a dealer for them.

    @Nightfall I am curious to hear your thoughts on them too (Rosso's), I know you have had them for some time, but wonder if you happy with them as I have not seen feedback yet - positive or negative?

    I'm a fan for sure. I'm not much of a reviewer but I know what I like when I hear it and these are awesome speakers, especially considering their size. They're about as big as Monitor 4s but they sound like much bigger speakers. Definitely on the dark side, not a great pairing with the also warm B&K, but still sounds good. The best part about them is the tangible depth to the images. Alice in Chains Unplugged sounds incredible. They're not the best at some of the crazier Death Metal and what not, likely given the cabinet and woofer size, but they do admirably even at that.

    That is a great start to a review - thanks J, makes me wonder if the full size Rosso's would do good for electronic and rock?

    They do good with some of the hip hop and heavier metal I've tried as long as you don't want to seriously crank it. They're better at louder volumes than the Wharfedales I tried by far, just not as good as the larger vintage Polk's I have.

    The image depth though is just amazing.

    I thoroughly enjoy Seans Reviews. He must drink at two Red Bulls and a Monster Drink before each session. He can talk nonstop forever it seems :) .

    I wonder if adding a subwoofer and crossing them over at 70 or 80 would change that opinion.

    He's exactly like that on the phone as well. How he is in the videos isn't an act or anything, it's just how he is all the time.
