Unbelievable full sound - you're there!

Bass needs help / looks like a good scratching post for my two cats

Stop the test! I only listened to these in order to go through the motions and to try and do a thorough listening test. Had already read by many that these were only good if you wanted "light" music; ie: vocal & acoustic guitar. Certainly this was not me! (Peter Gabriel / Allman Bros / Sara) Had been through the Paradigm studio 100s & 80s and was headed toward the Def Teks, with these as a rest stop in between. Simply unbelievable sound with even casual placement in the listening room. Skipped the Def Teks testing (per friends advice) and had a Paradigm servo 15 added to fill in bass/sub. They had to drag me out when the place closed! Can't wait to get these home and justify total system price to wife. Take note tho. I'm certainly no audiophile - I've been putting us with sub-standard music for way too long...

Can't really think of one right now. Bass is Okay but you should use a Sub anyway. They are pricey

Driving these with a Denon AVR 5800. These speakers provide wonderful detail in both music and HT.

While listening to music, I hear details that I never have before such as frett noises from Jim Croce's greatest hits. Also, the Verve's "Bittersweat Symphony" has al sorts of sound I don't remember having heard.

As for HT:

Right now as I write, I am watching "Any Given Sunday" and feel as though I am in the huddle.

They look really cool too!
