I heard these at someones office and couldn't believe what I was hearing. I've heard some decent speakers but for the price, holy cow! I swear the stage was as wide as the room and the musicians were right there. I'm considering a pair but here's the deal. I didn't listen for long and it was classical. While I do listen to a bit of classical and most all genres, I'm mostly a rock & roll guy. Do these do well with Rock? I have a decent DefTech sub I can pair them with. I like to crank it up at times as well.
So what do you guys think abuot this? Should I move on or might these do the trick?
Thanks for your input.

Well, I think they can be quite good for any genre of music but you need a high power amp and they will still never be the nth degree in terms of bass weight or punch. Other than that they are hard to beat at the price, but do not underestimate amp cost unless you have a very good one already. Adding a sub can generally remedy the bass dynamics issue if needed. They also can be problematic to place in a room optimally for best sound in that distance from the rear wall is often desirable.

I think the amp can be improved as mentioned but you have to determine whether what you have meets your expectations or not first.

3 feet out from the wall may be ok, I've seen it work, but again you have to experiment and see. A lot depends on the room. I've seen Maggies and planars in general set up and delivering fantastic imaging up to 1/3 or so into the room from the rear wall. Unfortunately placement away from the rear wall also means greater possibility that a sub might be desirable.
