Product Review (submitted on March 28, 2021):

I was growing bored with my 5.1 system (another brand) and wanted to go back to a pure 2 channel system. Partly because of where I live and current restrictions, I was not able to go to shops and audition speakers so I bought these speakers based on reviews and spec's... I am not disappointed! I have them paired up with a high end Yamaha amplifier (connected with heavy bi-wired cable and banana plugs) and an RT-85 turntable complete with record weight. My taste in music is all over the map...classical, blues, rock, folk, jazz... these play them all well. A few things to keep in mind: 1-due to their low sensitivity, they need to be pushed, 2-they really need time to break in...more than the 10 hours suggested and 3-like most speakers, positioning is critical...I spent a lot of time playing with angles, distances and location to get the soundstage just right... well worth the effort and time...they sound and look amazing!
