I listened to these at the Montreal show..they sound incredible and the finish isn't as glossy as Amati or Guarneri but I don't have any complaints about how these look or sound whatsoever..easily driven by medium power tube amps which need not cost a fortune is another plus..cj, jadis, cary, arc, vac there is many fine amps available to run these..I'd love to have a pair in my listening room.
