Audio Machina The fit and finish of these speakers is second to none. They excell in the midrange and are crisp in the upper end. I made several visits to this room and the speakers got better sounding as the show went on. I felt the need for some reinforcement below 200hz but that is usually the case with any monitor type speaker.

They had a nice stage and imaged very well.

$15k and some reinforcement below 200hz? I would have hoped that reinforcement was needed below 45hz, not 200.

I don't agree with either part of this sentence.

No low bass reinforcement needed in my room. At least not with the 225 wpc mono tube amps I just got. Subs would be overkill at this point. These speakers are very revealing of amplification; don't blame the speakers for what the amp can not provide.

Sorry guys I got fat fingers...I didnt mean 200hz, I meant around 60 or so.

My bad, sorry for the confusion.

BTW,

Thanks for pointing out the error, I could have read that paragraph a dozen times and never caught it. Thats why the big boys have proofreaders I guess.
