i was using superlux 681 EVO headphones to monitor the video, so i'm pretty sure i got a reasonably accurate sample of the sound quality, though they sounded much brighter and lower in bass in another video. that's really not a problem though as they'll be subbed.
i'll find out soon enough what they sound like first hand. i'm inclined to believe they won't disappoint as the very first speakers i ever bought were JBLs that outclassed everything at their price point at the shop where i bought them and the reviews are mostly favorable too.
THAT's why i like online demos and hate all talk no demo reviews and "demos". i would not have bought my proel flash 8Ps, even at the NICE $120 i paid for the pair were it not for some decent sounding online videos of their larger siblings. they wound up sounding even better than expected with an even smoother midrange that loves womens' vocals and a lightning fast, but not at all spitty treble i'd call more laid back, probably because of some rolloff.
i'm not expecting the last word in fidelity, just something that'll be decent sounding enough for the bargain price i got on them, especially once i plug their distortion holes, and possibly increase cabinet resonances as has happened with thin walled mission & energy minis.
