Hi Bombaywalla,

All and all a good review. I believe you listed most of the positive and negative points. The one negative point I pointed out to you at your house, about the boxy sound, which I said could probably be helped by Blackhole 5, was written about below in one of the posts.

Everyone hears things differently. Some people have hearing deficiencies at certain frequencies and might need a brighter tweeter to augment these areas. To them, the sound is just perfect. I'm not saying that you have a hearing deficiency. Some people like boomy bass where others like night tight bass. Put the people who like a boomy bass in a well controlled room and they will hate it. I have also heard some other line of speakers in two different rooms and one was on the bright side and one wasn't. I've heard people complain about the Newform ribbons as being on the bright side and some saying it's a little laid back. In my experience with the CDMNT and Nautilus line, I had listener fatigue after a few hours. It was definitely due to the tweeter, which caused me severe headaches after that short period of time. Others can listen to them and say they have no problem at all.

So basically, you have to be happy with what you have and not worry about what other people say.

Have a great day,

Brad
