If you are willing to throw some money into replacing the crosover,and changing the tweeters you will have a winner.The cabinetry,construction,dampening,and woofer and midrange are all first rate.The crossovers(2 per speaker)use inferior parts,and must be overhauled.The tweeter,is a bad copy of a Revelator II and should be changed to a real Scanspeak.A big room is a must as the speakers throw off a huge soundstage,and are probably one of the best looking speakers around.Workmanship is firt rate.
