Thoughts on the Super Abby?


I am looking into the Super Abby but would like to hear thoughts on people who have heard or own a pair.I will have no chance of listening before making a decision so your thoughts would help a lot.How do they sound,how much power should I expect ?Are they suitable with a high power int. amp? What are the alternatives ?

Thank you

I also own the Abby's. I have other speakers as well but just cant let go of the Cains. They play THEIR kind of music very well. High power would be lost on them. SET is the best. I had a Almarro that sounded great with them. They cant play real loud either but they play louder at a lower volume too. If you love Jazz you will love these speakers....AFTER break in that is. I would suggest a sub to fill in the lows but that would be it. I use a Rel B3 that I just love. Just don't ask too much from them as far as metal or heavy rock and roll and they will be hard to let go. IMHO.
I couldn't be happier with my Rel B3...I HIGHLY recommend it paired with the Abbys.

Had a friend listen to the Abbys a few weeks ago and he was standing within 3 feet of one of the speakers when I told him the B3 sub was way in the corner. His jaw fell open...he honestly thought all the bass was coming from the Abbys....seamless when set up correctly and the Rel's are the easiest to set up IMHO.
