I have them since new, and like them....very neutral, very surprising soundstage considering the size.
At high volumes sure it won't be confused with a full range and the small cabinet size shows, finally, but it's a solid performer. Not the last word on large-scale symphonic music, but for simpler-textured stuff like rock and jazz and acoustic/vocals at moderate volumes they are fantastic. And look awesome too. WAF extremely high especially if you have the grille covers off.
Stereophile did a review on it and John Atkinson though they were very close to his Silver Signatures @ 8X the price.
