I am the proud owner of these speakers. They are great R&R speakers, very dynamic and can deliver an awesome mid-bass slam thanks to the dual Illuminators. They replace some Dynaudio 140 bookshelves which simply could not deliver the mid-bass I was looking for. I have them paired with dual 12" woofers crossed over at 80hz. The metal tweeter and mid-range are also very smooth. I stream almost exclusively from Sonos (rarely listen to CD's anymore) and they sound fantastic.
