Hey all I will try my best but I just want to say that I stick at describing things. Also these speakers play in a carpeted untreated room.
My prior speaker was a Omega RS5 outlaw with 8" downfiring sub. These speakers mixed for me, at first did not like them at all felt it was thin sounding and figured it was just getting used a single driver type speaker. Over the time i had them it was always a love hate relation for me. On good recordings and tidal it sounded great but on spotify and bad recordings it sound bad. I only stream spotify now due to cost and iwas looking for a speaker that would make spotify not sound too crappy lol.
These speakers do just that, I think it was a little more midbass, that I was looking for, in my last setup that just makes things sound right. Great prat and getting lost in the music. Now on tidal these speakers sound even better for imaging, soundstage, timing and just balance across the sound. I could only imagine what these sound like on turntables..lol. For more complex music it handles it like a breeze, before on my last setup i felt sometimes the single driver just need something more, sorry for bad explanation. I listen at quiet levels in evenings, i have a 14 month old baby, and these speakers are crystal clear, they even beat my decware trap speakers for clarity and that to me is no easy feat since the traps are the one speaker that i have had the longest.
These speakers also do really well when using my marantz sr6008 to play music or watch movies, never feeling cold or clinical...just endless details within the sound. My wife even commment that she could hear things in the movie Little Women that she never heard before and that was just run thru the reciever.
These speakers have good bass but for me I always planned to get a subwoofer because these will end up in the tv/movie room. The thing i miss about my outlaws was the dual subs and these monitors just can't touch two subs giving bass and to be honest i dont know many speakers that could. If these speakers weren't going to tv/movie room then i probably would not feel a great need for a sub but would probably get one just a little farther down the road. Currently looking in rythmik subs.
Yeah have to say so far having them for over a month I have had no love hate relation with them..I just love em... even during break in period, think I am still in it lol. Currently run them using a decare zdsd---mini torii--omega sometimes i put in the Torii MKIV with csp3 but that is just over kill on all accounts lol.
I hope this helps sorry again for bad description but feel free to ask questions and if I can i will do my best to answer. Also Louis is just awesome to deal with, he has amazing customer service and feel so lucky that he makes these amazing speakers.
