i've had kestral 2's for over 6 mos and used with 170 w/p/c NAD and currently a jolida int. tube amp. Yes,they do lack a bass punch at lower sound levels but pull together nicely at higher volume. the mids and highs are detailed and clear, almost dry with NAD but still very musical. imo these are a great value sonically and the style and finish are superb. these speakers do an awfully lot Right and hardly anything wrong for the $$$. not overly lush nor analytical. not too laid back and yet not too forward... you get the drift. the simple design and quality of these will hold up well over time i think.
