I auditioned them inside of the tiny Sonist factory in beautiful western Idaho. Driven by some very nice SET tube amps, the lifelike soundstage they threw out was probably the most remarkable thing about them. Based upon what I heard, I really couldn't fault them in any parameter.
I cannot say that there aren't better speakers (for the money) but one would be hard pressed to find speakers as good, as efficient, AND... "Made in the USA".
Audiokinesis in Southeastern Idaho and Tyler Acoustics Pro Dynamics in Kentucky are two other notable contenders in the "efficient/made in USA" speaker category. Check all of them out while you are at it.
