Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size

I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I was when I last heard these "CLASSIC" speakers.The amp,I believe was a powerful Modjeski tube unit....BUT.....the speaker DRAMATICALLY improved with the use of the Townshend Super Tweeters!!!I was bowled over with the tweeters employeed.I believe the stock tweeter rolls off a little too low(17khz).

My friend has just gotten the stunning Magico Minis,and IMO the Extrema/Townshend combo is a "serious" competitor for that "latest"(but superb) design,even though it is not the "latest" out there(who really cares?).

Sometimes when something is really good,it holds up over time.The Extrema certainly does that,IMO!!!...Gorgeous to look at as well,but this is ALL only my opinion!

With all due respect,the Extrema configuration I heard(with Townshend ribbon tweeters)was at the very least "close to today's better" competing designs.It is also built better than most,and looks like a beautiful piece of art.
I heard it with two different "tube" amps.The first did not have the juice to get them up and running very well,But the higher powered unit opened them up majestically.
Best to all.
