I have been listiening to the Loreleis for about a week now. I am very impressed with them. At the price I payed (1100.00) they are a no brainer. They are excellent in dynamics. I love the bass, they go quite low although the bass is a little loose. On the high end I do not hear all of the detail I have had with other far more expensive speakers. They also do not dissapear like the more expensive models. They image nicely and are very clear. They do a pretty good job with the soundstage as well. I am still experimenting with placement as well as tube rolling in my preamp(TAD 150 sig). I also purchase some outriggers with spikes for the speakers from http://www.soundocity.com/ . They look quite impressive and could help out some of the small issues. I don't want to install them until I get my placement down as it will be a lot harder to move the speaker around. Overall I am happy with them and I think they will only get better as I experiment. Sure I could get better speakers but not at anywhere near the price of the Odyssey speakers.
