Robust. These two way rear port honeys put you in row 18 center stage. Male vocals cannot be matched by any speaker I have heard and I am a life long chaser of the bring the concert to your room group of repeat buyers of gear. The wood finish is customized to suit owner and is fine furniture grade. Soundstage shoots 180 and imaging is nearly holographic with butterscotch timbres when used with high watt CJ tube amps. Wonderful on chamber and accoustic music. Not an airy top and not the best separation between instuments with the lead dominating supportive players when thing get complex.Heavy....65lbs and need stands.
