Tks, Peter. I've not heard the Take series at all, older or the "Klipschized" newer ones. I did, however, hear the "C" and "RC" series and came away with virtually the same feeling you had with the "RCs".(heard the 50s and 70s) To me, they also sounded muffled or like they had a heavy blanket over them, which surprised me considering, at least on paper, they had all the right ingredients to be a very good speaker...that is what led me to wonder about the "Take" speakers, because they seem to be very highly regarded, at least given their size. Thanks again, Adrian.
Oh, I might add too, that I was also looking to hear the Verita line as well, but was having alot of trouble finding any here (go figure, I live less than 20 mi. from their plant in Markham). Nevertheless, they were $$ and reviews seemed to indicate that they sounded quite similar to the Axioms which are well below half the cost.
