I have a pair at home right now ...was sceptical like you but they really do many things very well. the addition of the supertweeter is the biggest asset ... without it the speaker would be quite boring. Bass is very good to about 45hz then rolls off quickly but it is taut and defined. Lots of "jump factor" and they really do sound great with a variety of music. If you are anywhere near NE PA email and we can set-up a time for you to hear them.
