I auditioned the 1.5s and didn't like them. I brought my amp to the store which was gracious enough to let me try them on my amp. Sounded like they were suffering from over-excursion, couldn't handle the power form any of the amps I tried available at the store, so I settled on the 2.2s because they were closer sounding to the 3.6.
Truthfully, I haven't had the funds nor the desire to hump speakers in and out to audition so I still run the 2.2s. I like the fact they are coherent, just like the name suggests. I listen quiet, nearfield, and they have the correct amount of bass at any volume level.
I was disappointed when I changed the 8 buck old school Vifa midrange to a new technology expensive Scan-speak. Unless it needs tons of break-in, the old vifa is just as good. I was hoping for more depth & transparency but didn't get it. The tweeters on top however, was one of the best tweeks I've done, adding the top frequency sparkle I was needing in a dead room.
