Was looking at a set today. I didn't have time to give them a thorough demo but was initially impressed. For $800 I'm trying to find other speakers in their category to compare them to.
I currently have Titans and I recently did a back to back comparison with the Titans and the Studio 60's. What I did is I got to the dealer I use to setup the receiver I have (Marantz SR-7000) and Marantz DVD player and some speakers cables with banana plugs. I then sat down and repeatedly played two tracks from a favourite CD on the Titans and then switched to the Studio 60's and did the same. The main control factor I focused on in this test was to be very carefully about keeping the same volume setting with both sets of speakers. What I noticed is that the differences between these two speakers were relatively subtle. Or what I should try and communicate is that the differences were not extremely obvious. As you can see I'm having trouble articulating my observations. What I am struggling with now is the decision on whether the differences span the $1000 price difference between these two speakers. As I progress further through my hobby of music listening I've found that I can't truly assess a speaker until I live with it for a while. In the end, I would give a very positive rating for the studio 60's but I am also becoming more familiar with the very subjective nature of assessing speakers.
