I have the FRIED Studio 7 speakers, which I purchased in December, before the price increase.
They are indeed, very musical, they do not have the WOW! effect - that is, the "boom and sizzle" that draws your attention, and eventually leads to listener fatigue.
They do require a minimum of 40 hours of break-in, as recommended by FRIED.
I am using NAD electronics to power the Studio 7. I auditioned the speakers last November, at Bud Fried's apartment, in the Phil. area. BTW, he was using NAD also.
The proof is in the listening, everyone perceives music differently, with the majority, unfortunately, very happy with mass merchandise audio.
