Thank you for the review on them! I cant wait to hear what you hear. BTW, are you still running them? Still passive? How do they REALLY sound? LOL. Yeah, still running them and still passive. I need to grab some more connectors to wire them up active as it's just a matter of switching some wires, but I've been busy and haven't gotten around to it. It's pretty low on my to do list right now How do they REALLY sound? Very good in my opinion. I'm still more than pleased with them after a month of daily listening. They are detailed and just overall very "listenable" to sum it up briefly. Are they perfect? No, of course not....no speaker is. But at just a hair over $200 now in the group buy, I don't think you'll find anything that compares in the same price range in the pre-built comp set market. I can't imagine anyone putting these speakers in a competent install and being displeased. Most of the main "problems" with my system right now are pretty much directly attributable to the installation.
