I had the original Fontaines for many years. Very special speakers. Required a sub (I preferred two for stereo subs). They played all music genres very well. I would have kept them for life, and that tweeter is sublime, but I wanted a bit more openness to the sound so swapped them out for a pair of open baffles with horn (which cost way more money). But if not for my new OBs, I would have been happy with the Eggys for the remainder of my life. They are so pure, and seem to have the perfect amount of smoothness and bite. Top quality builds for sure. I ran mine with a pair of Audio Mirror 45-Watt SET monblocks - fantastic.
