Having put my money where my mouth is and bought a pair, I can only say that my impressions as stated in the review are even more emphatically stated now that I've listened to them at home for two weeks. Hearing them solo in a good room away from 20 other speakers has elicited a fine level of transparency, even better dynamics, and a non-fatiguing disposition.

They will not give you an artificial impression of "depth" or "separation of instruments," they do not have "chocolatey" this-or-that, nor do they have "silken" highs "glittering" from the "blackest" of backgrounds. Nor do they have an "emotionally" expressive midrange, excellent "PRAT," or a "finely strewn layer of gray-ish powdered grain" in the upmost highs.

Alas, a very un-audiophile speaker, proudly wearing PWK's yellow "Bullshit" button on its sleeve (PWK used to wear such a button under his jacket lapel, lifting the lapel and revealing the button if some nutter started in on some audio nonsense, especially at tradeshows).

They simply project instruments and music into your room with as much vividness, dynamics, and neutrality as can be asked for at the very reasonably price--and much higher. They're a blast to listen to, and completely unfatiguing. As far as I'm concerned, they're utter bargains at the retail price. What else does one want?
