They sound completely different from the run of mill B&W and Paradigm. The emphasis is on fast accurate sound, with relatively limited frequency response; it won't give you as much an illusion of deep bass like the others might at the price. It will also tell you exactly what you're electronics sound like. They are intended for use with relatively low powered refined amplification; they will not play as loudly as the others. They are better for acoustic music and voice.
all that said, I think they would be worth listening to! I have my eye on a pair for use with my little puny 4 watt tube amps.
