Just to clarify, these were the Penta labs spec'd shuggies. I would have to agree with Tyson the way he interprets the lower noise floor giving a deeper soundfield is exactly what I heard in my very different system. They just have a smoothness yet accuracy about them that I have not heard from any other 88. Most of the time you trade smoothness for articulation, not the case with the pentas, they seem to do both quite well.
I also want to add that Tysons ellys are sounding fabulous with the new SB accoustics tweeter. Great setup!
