The way you guys talk, I would be more like a bull in a china shop trying to explain what I hear. Right now, All I have done so far is hook up the speakers to the Sony 1080. I have not even rerun the calibration yet and i can tell you that they sound better. Much better then the M22's. More volume, more clarity. I wanted to wait to get the replacement driver before I run the calibration. PLus I really want to see how the Denon 6500 really brings out the new speakers.
