Celtic66 is spot on, the Ae's will spit out what is put in them, an example is a disc I played last night, I believe it was Tears for Fears, Woman in Chains, (Japanese CD pressing, reissiuse), It sounded so bad I thought there was something wrong with the speakers....I had listened to this song several times before on my Duntechs and it sounded great....thinking I blew a tweeter on the Ae's...I put on another CD, KDLang live by Request, Trail of Broken Hearts...nothing wrong there...the Ae's are produce the source very very revealing yet truthfully.
