Hi James,Thanks! Sorry it was so long, but I wanted to be thorough! In time I might do some sort of a follow up review (I can hear the gulp's) after I've lived with them a little longer.
I do use a sub and have done 99% of my listening with the Twins with a sub. I will play some piano tracks with the sub off and report to you my impressions. The thing is though, I noticed the improvement in piano immediately when compared to my older B&W's and I had always used a sub with them. So it's fair to say that the Twins have added body and presence to piano alone.
I haven't actually done much critical listening extremely off axis. I have tried the old test of moving your head from side to side to see if the imaging pulls to one side and found that they are excellent in this regard, better than the B&W's which would pull to one side more easily with your head pulled far to one side. Imaging is well balanced and stable. No beaming or "problems" in this area. As for background music while roaming around the house I find them excellent as well! When I am several rooms away they sound so open and present, very musical.
I think Jean Marie is listening. I wrote him an email and expressed my enthusiasm for the Twins and he replied with much thanks and said "it's very good to hear things like this!" (French accent and all).
Yes, the Twins are excellent for the money. What they do and how good they do it for this price is what's amazing. But they are just the entry level Reynaud speaker. Imagine the Trente or Offrande. I've heard that the Twins were given a slightly lower price tag than originally intended or compared to what they go for in France, to help them get a good foot hold in the US. So in all reality this is a more expensive speaker. Makes them a bargain all that much more.
