Well SH I will mention that I love my speakers,I have done some demos of more expensive speakers like the B&W 12,000 per pr,but I always come back to the sound of my speakers,they can play at live levels and I just love them,the others you play them loud and they start to compress,no detail and no dynamic range at all.I need to mention that I like the sound of live bands on intimate settings weather is acoustic or electronic.So do I love my horns????You bet I do!!!!
