I can't believe it's been two years+ already........ from when I took "the chance".
They have truly been all I was looking for in a good stereo speaker.
Like they say: "the greater the risk......the greater the reward"
I do have a few observations, and recomendations.
I don't think they are "bright", as some have said.
They really play well loud....(this would be a bigger plus for me, if I was younger).
Use GOOD speaker wire AND connections....there will be fewer "hum" & "buzz" posts.
They really are a great speaker AND value for almost anyone interested in hi-fi sound.
I am looking forward to many more years with these babies unless,.............upgradeitus sets in.....AGAIN.
And finally, the custom shop speaker finishes look best WITHOUT pink speaker grilles.
