for the mono's extreme

grabbed a pair of these right after klaus made the extreme upgrade available.
build=like a rock, when you see the caps inside you start to drool, massive heat sinks, clean layout, heavy weight-a step above well built.
sound=strong with alot of authority when thats what the music dictates,smooth and sweet when thats what the music dictates.havent found any type of the music i listen to that it doesnt play with abandon and grasp with total control also, above average bass with a balanced and smooth top and mids.well thats about as poetic as i can get when no tail is invovled
i thought i might get enough heat off them to help warm the house this winter-didnt happen no matter how long and loud i played them.

Product Weakness: huh?
