Opera Speakers - Opinions?


Does Opera have a "house sound"? Are the 1.5s and IIs (which I understand are now out of production) on the warm or cool side of things (musical or analytical)? Or are they neutral, or warm neutral, cool neutral? Can the Callas' be used in a small room with only 20" from rear of speakers to the wall? I ask since they are reat ported. Do they look as good in person as on their website? How do they compare to, say, Sonus Faber and Silverline models? How easy are they to drive? Thanks, people.

I've only heard the Callas Divas, and they sounded very nice. Definitely on the warmish side of neutral, adequately dynamic, and a very sweet midrange. If you value those type of sonic qualities, it's definitely woth looking into. Not a rock speaker, IMO. Much more suited to low-key classical and jazz.
