I like the added bass (over M80's), so I loved them. Just beautiful SQ. But my M80's offer about 95%+ of the pleasure for 10% of the cost. Lovely, but definitely for someone in another tax bracket than I'm in. ;\)

I would never buy these things new. Ridiculously priced.
But on the used market, one can buy the Bowers 800 series for a much more affordable price.
