I am open to reactions to the above.
What I did, since I was getting nowhere with my main system that I am trying to build, I went ahead and ordered 2 of them, plus their center, for my vacation home HT.
Don't ask me why since the answer is a non-answer, I am aware of that: I just was fed up and since this is a secondary system, I was, given the limited cost (all is relative!), willing to take a risk and experiment.
I have only listened to them a little bit, less that 2 hrs, and they are great, better than a number of speakers that I audiotioned during in my ongoing search for my main 2ch stuff.
I will do obviously some critical listening as soon as time allows, but for now I got to say it, I am impressed. And this with a NAD 763 !
