With all due respect to the reviewer at Audio Review I have a problem with his assessments and I've aired these with him. First off, he is uising a 20 year old receiver with his Twins, they had only 100 hours on them when he did the review and he has them in his secondary system.The treble is not soft at all. It's smooth and linear, but not soft. They do not smooth over and mask bright recordings, my brighter recordings still come through in all their bright glory. The Twins definitely should be paired with better equipment because they are very neutral and open. Any mid to low end component with grain will show right through the Twins. Brighter equipment up stream will come through that way, warmer or duller sounding equipment will as well come through this way. Garbage in - garbage out with the Twins in my view.
The treble was the last thing to open up in my experience, it wasn't until over 150 hours that the treble began to open up. They seemed sweet and softer in the treble early on but in time they moved more in line with neutrality.
