Decent, given the size of the drivers and cabinet. It's spec'ed -3dB @ 35Hz, don't know what the in-room response is. They are rear ported and there is an ambience dome tweeter on the rear that can be enabled or not.

The room is a smallish 16' X 14', half open on one end to a dining area and hallway. I do have a subwoofer, but generally don't use it for music.

Steve

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Oops! Just put this in the defense of our hobby threat by accident

So perhaps a diff angle is in order.

Polished SS is a fav of mine

And unlike my old Audio Aero Capitole these are not dust magnets.

I like the look of Scaena speakers and almost anything in walnut. Go figure. I am kind of a traditional modernist.

Kind of looks like a giant semi-automatic pistol magazine clip.

Thanx Laundrew for the compliment on the SS OTLs

Of course i'm biased, but can't forget the beauties they are powering

I've always liked the looks and sound of the Magnum Dynalab receivers.

Impressive... I don't recognize the model...what are they?

I have been dreaming for over 2 years now of owning one of these Usher Dancer Speakers.

The curviness and the wood-panelling is beautiful.

And yes, McIntosch products are just so gorgeous.

Which is why I never quite understood why some manufacturers would choose horizontally finned heat sinks for their amplifiers.

Steve

I wonder even more... surely these horizontal heatsinks are less efficient.

I like a simple, spartan aesthetic. Bryston, natch. Also Sugden:

nagra has a way of making components that look at home in the laboratory or in an elegant hi-fi.
