Yeah, very cool. I always laughed at that quote. I mean...c'mon..."shockingly"?...they're good, maybe even great, but "shockingly"? 120 volts? Yes. Electric eels? Yes. Tazers? Definitely. M40's? Dude, they're only speakers. (maybe he had his tongue on the binding posts?)

And I can also understand your definition of "laid back". Maybe that's part of what I "feel" when listening to music. But certainly the lack of a dedicated mid-range would contribute to both of our definitions.
