I agree. I went through a virage of speakers, many of which were quadruple the price, but none struck me as musical. I gave up trying to find a pair I liked and just settled for a monitor that was inexpensive. Who knew it turned out to be the best out of the bunch. I've upgraded to the Evolution 3. The Twin still has more of a natural resonance that is easier to listen to and easier to get "into" the music.
