Bob,
I'd not heard the Archos before today, and I was really impressed with how open they sound and how easy to drive they are. They really filled the room with sound. Not as much bass as compared to the HT-2TL's, but if I had to choose between the two it would be a tough choice. Depends on what you're looking for. The TL-2's definitely have more bass, but the Archos is really an impressive speaker. I may have to make that choice because I was leaning toward the TL's but after hearing the Archos, I don't know. (My wife even liked the Archos.)
The SS-10's are just amazing. Whatever's in the recording you hear. If I had the money I'd order a pair. (BTW, Mary had stickers entitled: Soundscape...My kid's inheritance!!)
